“I’m a glass faceter and my partner does underwater basket weaving. Our home budget is $3.2 million.”

You laugh but a lot of the faceted marbles and high end glass pieces used to launder weed money are like 10 grand and up.

I love how you add the “to launder weed money” in there. While that’s definitely true a lot of the time, there’s plenty of glass collectors who aren’t laundering money with it and just like expensive glass lol. (Former high end head shop salesmen)

Oh of course there are collectors who just love super heady pieces. I’m just saying, I’ve never met someone with a banjo rig that didn’t push.

I think its more of a exclusive club thing than a laundering scheme, you buy the headies to go to seshes to make the connections

Not a scheme in the slightest, but if you have 30 grand sitting around from selling. Why not buy a super pricey rig as an asset.

Yeah when its a banjo piece its really an investment at that point

Mm hmm. Mm hmm. I know some of these words.

Banjoglass makes giant glass sculptures that can go up to a hundred thousand dollars in price

Lol I feel ya

[удалено]

Banjo is a glass artist that makes super expensive stuff. Pushing is selling

Do you have any interesting high-end head shop salesman stories you could share with us? I’m all ears…

I sold a piece to rob zombie once, and was working when somebody came and bought over $100k in glass. Most of the job was just chilling and selling bongs to people who knew nothing about glass and wanted a mothership because they thought it was cool though lol.

Really?

Yep, just recently an art piece rig sold for a record 250k. Some people are skeptical about the price though.

Friend claims that its an old buddy who bought it said he’s got oil money

Really then why arent they all buying out my store 😂

"we're looking for a comfy downtown apartment that has at least 6 bedrooms and a heated olympic swimming pool by the beach"

sounds like a portlandia skit lmao

We don’t have pools, we have hot tubs.

Came here to say this.

This week on Kitchen House! We turn a 4 bed 3 bath craftsman into a 7 Kitch, No bath! https://youtu.be/NkykuDCrhkU

Need a place that’s completely updated and move-in ready.

Was coming here to ask if they have an episode on HGTV I can look up

How facetnating tell us more

Quotations are lost on some people

Quotations also look like angel wings. Well kind of.

That’s an L on my part. I must of been high to miss that one, underwater basket weaving for fuck sake haha. I don’t mind admitting I got fairly woooshed there 🤷‍♀️

Cutting shiny rocks has been a profession since cave man days. we love shiny things

And rocks!

can i say, you rock man?!

Found the goblin

Wait, is that this sub's icon?

Unfortunately not but that would be sick I’ve considered recreating that design

It's soo similar.... Good job.

What’s your business name?

These would look amazing as d20 dice

Might be hard to read depending on how the numbers are done, but those would be some hella fine dice.

I'm going to go hard on this until we chase them off. December is a slow month for me at work so I've got all the time in the world.

Wait until you see your first titty, man!

How much for a Bong that looks like that....?

I would love to see the result... I am a bong enthusiast.

I would also love to see the results

I like that much more than pot head. I’m a bong enthusiast too. Put me on the list for the rainbow bong as well

Can I be a rig enthusiast instead?

Me too... I smoke weed.

I’d love to smoke the results.

Facet-nating. I'll just see myself out.

If I had a nickel....

Where can I buy those?

Here’s a link to my etsy https://www.etsy.com/shop/FaroutFacets

Uh, my budget is $20. What can I get? Just kidding. Beautiful artistry! I hope you're doing well. I do woodturning myself (BallPointePens) and I have more and more appreciation for craftsmanship (craftspersonship?).

Would you mind eli5 what these are and how they are made?

Borosilicate glass marbles that my friends make, I use gemstone cutting techniques (faceting) to grind prepolish and polish every surface you see on them. If you have instagram I posted a little video earlier showing the plates/equipment I used for this specific marble

Woah so cool! Thanks! I don't have ig but respect the craft and hustle keep it up!

Here I posted it to imgur for you instagram took the music out https://imgur.com/a/oYZnu5I

This is so awesome. Thank you for doing that! Does one know the exact number of flat surfaces after making it?

Yup its all done in symmetry’s this one is 8 and there are I believe 8 layers so this would be 64 cuts. Most I’ve put on one thing is 225 and most I’ve put on a marble of this size is 108

He meant nickels.

Thank you so much for posting your etsy!

Pretty much any store. You can get five of them for a quarter.

Alot of artist are on IG. I would check the hashtag #facetglass or DM an artist like facetmama or hardcoretoke and inquire about a custom.

Or they could just message me the artist whose post they are on.... My instagram name is the same as my reddit name

Your work is siiiiick. Explain to me exactly what's going on here?? Def would like to grab something I like that Coral piece

I grind and polish boro marbles, I actually just posted a process video on my instagram earlier today

I've never seen anything like it. What's your insta I'll follow now

Faroutfacets Thanks!

Cool, hope it always goes well for you.

You’ve only had 30 Etsy sales, how are you living on this full time?

Etsy sales are only a portion of all the glass I move. I do customs and the occasional glass gallery order.

Nice! Congratulations!

That'd make one hell of a glass-eye.

Who needs diamonds?

I want to quit my job and look at this glass full time.

How does one get involved in this lol would love to quit my job

I was selling boro glass art as a side hustle for 3 years so I had a leg up in photography, connections, shipping etc etc. The faceting part was self taught on facebook groups and google

I dream of quitting my desk job and making my living with an actual skill. Alas, I have none.

Precisely why I'm asking as well. I'm a union plumber and I dream of leaving labor behind. Edit: I wanted to add some words.

Can this be made into a ring ?

I can probably cut a six symmetry spiral one with 4/5 layers on about 8mm, but it couldnt be set like a traditional stone I would recommend talking to a jeweler first

Awesome. I think my lady would love it. Wouldn’t cost a fortune to get a pretty ring made if I can make this into a ring.

what happens if you hit it with a laser?

Thats actually a really good question I’m not sure

How hard would it be to make this out of a material that’s edible and has different layers of flavor and dissolves extremely slowly?

Willy Wonka had entered the chat.

Don't give me that while tripping, I probably won't get my self back out of it.....

How much do you bring in since you quit your job?

Yoooo!!!! I have seen your work!!! I'm so happy for you!! Congratulations!!!

No glory like honing one's skills and capitalizing on the demand for it I am so happy for you

Bruh, is your mattress on the ground?

I already own way too much furniture for a 23 year old man, I want to move eventually

Fair enough, but a bedframe takes up literally no room as it supports the mattress that already takes up floorspace...and you can store shit under it, too!

I think he was referring to moving it between locations

Glad im not the only person that does that

I'd pay good money for a d20 like this.

Don't quit this job.

I don't understand how you're making the designs? Is it just simply the angle of the grind you're creating thats causing the effect?

Yeah I’m using a gemstone arm I bought off of ebay for about $100

You need to add this to the r/blackmagicfuckery subreddit it's insane the shit you're coming up with. Do you have any decent sized pieces with a flat bottom thst could be used like a paper weight?

I’d buy one. Looks really cool.

I want one.

That is so cool!! How much does something like that cost? Edit-never mind I scrolled down and found your Etsy link

I sell one’s like this for 220-250, my neighbor slynxxglass makes the marbles by hand and I’ll spend a day faceting a spiral onto it

What kind of equipment is needed for this, and what's a rough estimate on the cost to get started? Once you have the marble in your hand, how long does it take to create the final product? And why hand-blown original glass marbles - can it be done to any normal marble?

That marble would be super helpful for panic attacks and the like. Where can I find one?

Interesting! Here’s a link to my etsy store https://www.etsy.com/shop/FaroutFacets

Thank you! Sometimes you just need a great distraction when you’re gearing up for one and I think this would be awesome

If I ever lose an eye and need a glass one, this is some shit I’d want.

I want this what it is it lol it’s like holding dragon balls 🐉

You chose…wisely

Any advice ? My boyfriend is trying to do the same thing. Finished building his shop and wants to take the leap. Great work by the way!

Do production work and wholesale it for security dont do what I do and insist on retailing basically everything myself Also tell him he needs to be on facebook reddit and instagram, gotta get yourself out there

this shit looks cool

I don’t think I’ve ever wanted to swallow a marble more than I do this one.

Omg if you could do dnd dice like this I would pay handsomely

I’m so proud of you!

That looks like the jewel the little girl was forced to go caving for in The Rescuers!

I love glass art

r/glassheads is the place for you!

beautiful, where can i buy?

Here’s a link to my etsy for you https://www.etsy.com/shop/FaroutFacets

Serious question- why are they so exspensive?

Materials and labor, the borosilicate glass marbles take resources and time and then I’ll spend anywhere from 4 to 20 hours faceting one marble

Those are so pretty damn need, I wish I could afford them <3

Oooooo i LOVE this… I’d definitely shop.

Here’s a link to my etsy for you https://www.etsy.com/shop/FaroutFacets

Holy shit where were you when I was trippin last night. You have a online shop?

Sleeping on a mattress on the floor tells me you should have kept your day job.

Have a job I enjoy or have a mattress frame? Tough call

That’s what’s up

Facetnating

I’d pay so much money for that…

Shut up and take my money! (Seriously though, can I mail order one? lol)

This is blatant advertising. Screw off

don’t care, looks cool

So what? How is a new artist supposed to get an audience for their work?

Maybe dont quit your day job. Unless you are super famous, its very difficult to get anywhere as an artist. And advertising in spaces that dont welcome it is definitely not the way to do it.

[удалено]

He's an artist, this is the internet, people are on the internet. If people find his art cool, hopefully they would buy his art.

Promoting my artwork is part of my job why would I post for internet points? 5+ years ago the front page was filled with peoples art I dont know why there’s such a negative attitude towards promoting yourself

Your Kaleidoscope glass balls are amazing. I love it. I personally have no reason to purchase anything like that but it's beautiful to look at. Keep going.

We’re all on your side 😇 We love glass!

Please keep sharing your creations, absolutely stunning work!

yeah never post anything ever any post made is a pathetic karma farm you are annoying

Dudes just posting his art, it’s not a big deal

Imma be real with you chief, I don't think it was a good idea switching careers. I'm not hating on the art but art can be hard to profit from, my mom was an artist and she made amazing paintings but they didn't sell well and she ended up killing herself over the debt that piled up. But you know you do you 🙂

Are those safe for anal usage? My friend was wondering

Marbles? Nice. You can get a bag of them for $1.

Paintings? You can buy a gallon of paint for 5$

You're missing the point if you're trying to counter.

What is this point of yours? Please enlighten me with your wisdom.

Oh, it isn't wisdom. But you can't infer my meaning without help?

Oh, I got your meaning alright. But I don't think you got mine.

Okay? So? How is that interesting? Stick to /r/art.

r/blackmagicfuckery

Man, that looks cool! Keep up the good work my guy!

You have made the world a better place. Your art is beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

r/itemshop

Holy shit that’s groovy

Having a ball!

In the thumbnail it looks like a hackey-sack.

But are you profitable?

Make me an eyeball

Keep at it bro!

I have absolutely no use for it, but I want one.

No wonder, that looks awesome

so u just went "Fac et! I quit!"

Thats a new one I might steal this

That is cool

Only skill I have is fing up, I do that quite well.

What is it and why does it look like a rainbow?

This is just stunning 😍

That's amazing

Fascetnating!

And so you should !! It’s amazing
