Whats up GC. I was just looking through my Youtube videos, and wow... Like a lot of you, I've come a long way from my first purchase so I figured I'd share. You'll see my collection slowly grow, and then consolidate This was my first real purchase over $50. Being the n00b that I was I thought RooR was almighty and I just NEEDED to have one. Shortly after, I also bought a Name Brand a/c 14" RooR.us w/ roor.de diffuser [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HA3r7kYw270]YouTube - Roor Milkshot Bong hits[/ame] Then I wanted to step it up, but I was still infatuated with RooR, so I got myself this 24" Rasta RooR.us, also with a roor.de diffuser from EDIT. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8P1g95s0cGA]YouTube - RooR Rasta Label Milkshots[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sMiOUsILaY]YouTube - Rasta RooR Fun[/ame] Then, one day my friend knocked my 14" RooR off my nightstand and broke the base. He was kind enough to go to the headshop with me the VERY NEXT DAY with $200 in cash towards a new piece for me. So I ended up spending a little extra cash myself and getting this Sheldon Black 6 Arm fixed-stem beaker This thing straight PUMPED First Video--- Still figuring out how to hit it... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lBDaoYkxVo]YouTube - Sheldon Black 6 arm fixed-stem[/ame] Once I got this tube down to a science I made this video. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJGtCwQHr4Y]YouTube - Sheldon Black Fun[/ame] My next piece was a 6 arm Luke Wilson bubbler [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz37QhsoWy8]YouTube - Luke Wilson 6 arm Bubbler[/ame] My new dream piece was this Worked Luke Wilson 15 arm that I saw at Piece of Mind. There were 3 of them for the longest time, but I couldn't get myself to drop the cash. I called every week or so to make sure they were still there though. One day when I called they told me two sold in a row so there was only one left so I had to act fast. I quickly found a buyer for my 6 arm luke wilson and bit the bullet. Needless to say, it was well worth it. Worked Luke Wilson 15 arm bubbler w/ matching slide. This is one of my favorite videos [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ElxkvLShQo]YouTube - Luke Wilson 15 Arm Bubbler *Worked*[/ame] [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RykjLAQxDeM]YouTube - Fuck waffles, I'm a treehugger ~~ Luke Wilson[/ame] After some time passed and I learned a thing or two about the glass game, I knew I needed to join the SG club. So I sold my Sheldon Black for $300 and bought this. 16" Sovereignty Stemline w/ natty splash straight neck [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xukdhtv0uTk]YouTube - ~~SG 60mm Stemline Natty Splash Montage ~~[/ame] Next, I wanted to upgrade the stemline. Since my RooR wasn't getting much use anymore, I sold that to a friend and sold my stemline to another friend, and used that money to buy my SG/ROYAL stem8. Great decision. 18.5" Sovereignty/ROYAL collab Stemline to 8 Arm [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzp9s5xi3Do]YouTube - Sovereignty Glass Stem8 Montage[/ame] So now I was down to two pieces, my stem8 and my LW 15 arm. Sadly, I just sold the Luke Wilson a few weeks ago, and the stem 8 just about a week ago. So I have been glassless for about a week. All for a good cause though. With the money from the LW and the stem8, I'll be picking up my SG Hollowfoot Peyote Pillar on monday so THANK GOD And that my friends, is the complete evolution of Ze Cross Jointa's glass collection This is how I can afford to buy a Pillar as a pizza delivery boy. It's been a long journey, but it'l be wayyyy worth it.
How long did it take to go from the 60MM to the Stem/8? Great glass evolution so far! And that LW 15 arm was awesome, can't believe you had it in you to sell it!
It's a shame to see the LW and stem to 8 go, but you will quite happy with your pillar! Theres nothing out there like a sg peyote. I saw you picked one up from boro, nice scoop! I liked the progression vids
Do you know how many times i looked at your 15arm when it was for sale on BM? Probably over ten times. I thought for sure i was going to buy it. Still not sure why I didn't, haha.
I got the 60mm stemline in early January of this year. Traded it out for the stem8 early march... And thanks! Yeah I know it really was painful to let it go. Atleast it went to anther Blade
Boom. Pillar I was talkin about in the OP is here. Here's the montage, also updated in the OP [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bq4Qp0V9kpI]YouTube - SG Soveriegnty Glass Hollowfoot Peyote Pillar Montage[/ame] EDIT: Won't let me edit the OP. So the pillar vid isnt up top, just here.
Awesome progression. I really like the LW 15 arm worked, and of course all your SG ... It's too bad you had to sell the LW & Stem 8 but you replaced it well. Smoke happy, I will continue to follow this thread
My favorite collection thread. Fantastic glass man. The peyote pillar makes me question the sanctity of my underpants.

Awesome evolution man. I love it. Also, glad I could be a part of it! The Name Brand showerhead has a happy home here at my place. I used in on my SG stemline before it broke (sob) and use it as a bubbler with a gong mouthpiece (milkage). Once my EFS tube comes next week (happy again) the a/c will sit happily on its new throne. Thanks for the awesome piece man. Good shit with the pillar.
That's awesome!! Dude you should post a milk shot of it on that gong attachment. I'd like to see it in action.
