Spinning the pipe evenly was my biggest hurdle back when I started

Honestly, I used to get so frustrated when the glass would wobble. Ngl, practicing with cooler glass helped me get the feel, and now it's like riding a bike.

It's funny how so many skills feel impossible until they just click into muscle memory.

But what about when that click UNclicks? I've had muscle memory skills get rusty and totally fall apart after a break.

Tell you what, watching that gather slide around at first was so defeating. My early stuff looked like crooked spaghetti because my wrist just wouldn't keep a steady rhythm. I spent a whole afternoon just rolling the pipe back and forth on the marver with cooler glass, feeling that sweet spot. Once your hand learns the even pressure, it totally locks in and you stop having to think about it.
