Hi Cliff, I have two of your Klein bottles which I very much enjoy, but recently I've had a hankering for something without quite so many embedded Möbius bands -- have you ever tried to make a glass Boy's surface by any chance?

Smiles back to you, oh creator of forks! I've tried several times to make a Boys Surface. It's really hard to do. Bending tubing around its own radius - really challenging. Easy to kink, difficult to get uniform. I've commissioned my friend Lucas Clarke and he's had encouraging results; alas but I've seen too many shards of 30mm diameter borosilicate tubing. Will keep trying...
