but it didn't exist before i shared the idea with the world, cant take that away from me. i don't care who you get; the most amazing blower to make the most incredible copy for free, its still a copy, and that is a compliment every time, regardless of your derogatory attitude, none of you would have anything like this if not for my sharing.
oh yah skunkman, feel free to share
I pride myself in being able to make anything or have my talented circle of friends do it for me, so in my own mind, there is no question that I could have our scientific glass blower turn something out that would accomplish the same end as an HMK pipe.
What I have been struck with from the very start watching this thread, is of course the initial unique brain fart concept, which as a creator myself I salute, but also the absolute funk in the design of the pipe itself.
The initial epiphany makes it all possible, but the design is an artist's signature, which cannot ever be completely copied.
My hat is off to whom ever's mind and nimble fingers is turning out the pipes that have been displayed to date. Just their look, says it all...........

PS: I have had virtually all my good ideas stolen over the years and consider it the sincerest form of flattery.
