There's always Preston from SGW he does a lot of repairs for fmb members but I think he stays pretty busy and you might have a bit of a wait. And there's also Kind Creations say's $50 for a foot repair right on their site.
I think joining up at the melting pot (talkglass.com) and finding an aspiring blower would be a good idea as well. A lot of blowers enjoy doing repairs for the easy practice and you'll find more of them in that community than anywhere else. They should also be more reasonable with prices as well.

you consider US tubes nicer then illys?
definitely. way better.
one of the big noticeable differences is they make bigger joints. they also using bushing downstems 18-14 (usually comes standard on their pieces however they offer 18-18 downstems now). i'd pick a US Tubes over an Illadelph any day. a US Tubes will be my next one for sure, a 9mm with the thicker joint. (think 32mm) i'd get the 18-18 downstem though cause everything i have is 18mm right now.
bitfreakglass has a bunch of US Tubes and accessories, they make inline ashcatchers now too.

also beakers are stretched glass usually... US tubes are about the only company who doesn't really stretch their glass, they just use more glass so it remains the same thickness throughout the glass. illadelph just stretches it.
go tap on a beaker and then tap the tube near the mouth and you'll notice a difference.

How does one access bitfreakglass?
I tried to check it out, but it asks for a username/pass...do you have to have an invite?

ok not reinforced but not blown out from the rest of the tube which is what makes beaker's weak. The glass for the beaker is added on not stretched out.

am I missing something? 'Their' implies ownership doesn't it? There or they're don't work.
I haven't been in school in a good 5 years but I always took pride in the fact that I learned the differences between there/'re/ier very early on.
seriously though this is perplexing me
