I've never heard of a Klein bottle before, but that thing isn't worth a damn as a decanter~!

Pretty impressive feat. Can't do that stuff w/soft glass.

For $3K theres a lot of D-vit on the neck weld out of the bottles top. They might not have cleaned all that masking tape goo off from the pre-seal.

I remember some older kids making one out of soft glass at school. The specialty tricks were using a steam cone to plug a hole to blow against and a funny three legged pontil that didn't last too long. It wasn't that pretty, but it was inside and outside at the same time.

I'd like to see team Klein whip out a straight sided bottle out of boro.

You're right--it's not that tough. I just said that to make you guys feel better ;) I make these while I'm cleaning my tools.
