  • Really Really cool Shane. I love it. Any good sources for bottle slides i.e. aspirin bottles or others that you might reccomend? I have exceptionally fat fingers. I am on the prowl for my cigar box now.

  • Just go to Lowe's and buy a 3/4" socket. Jam the tip of your finger into the square hole for the socket wrench and go! I would have used my socket for these videos, but I lost it. Gotta go to Lowe's tonight...

  • Thank you sir! I will be running to Lowes this afternoon

  • Me an' you both...I lost my socket. That's why I used this hand-blown glass slide.
