[whySOseriousFOR]

[Zefnex]

Incredible work! I've always thought glass blowing was awesome, you've got a wonderful talent.

[LibraLovesFaVs]

Beautiful work you do! Love it! :o)

[audioglass]

@LibraLovesFaVs Thanks Libra!

[marissa32]

[Joeybugman]

how long does it take to learn to do something like this?

[liqidearth]

[MyuliaM]

So cool ^^

[mrxracing]

Nice Shirt

[robert3033836]

i was wondering why it stayed so soft... blue.

very nicely done.

[cameronisdapoo]

not one trip to the glory hole? Impressive

[JoseHoustone24]

at first it looked like a light bulb lol

[420hankin]

that was intense

[Desopolis]

Wow, Im really impressed with the worktime you have... With the heat you seem to have my blow pipe is usually glowing.. Im a newb though so perhaps thats a larger factor..

[Dierwolf2000]

probably using a drastically different glass formulation than you are, but who knows really.

[comingatchu]

Slick. He didn't miss a beat.

[AlexFruen]

Rola Cola.

[MissCartographer]

Wow! Lovely :)

[SexyStoner1234]

Fucking sick as fuck.

i have a pipe thats a swan, its sicker than that. (:

[Tehgumshow]

this made me think of jelly

[mserebreny]

I've been blowing for about three years now, as far a solidworking goes, I've gotten really good at paperweights, haven't really started on animals yet - is there a particular one that you'd suggest I try first?

I'm thinking perhaps a horse, just because they're pretty standard

[bristolblueglasssw]

Have a look at the swan in my profile. I think that's a pretty good starter, because its quick to make; you can have many attempts over a short period of time. you'll get better, faster, if you hammer at it for an hour or two.

[Dierwolf2000]

nope nope. a duck is what you do, then a sitting cat, then a standing cat, then the horse, then this swan.

[kitebabe05]

wow!!

[aBum11]

how long have you been doing this for?

[audioglass]

18 years now. I started fulltime in a small studio called Teign Valley Glass when I was 15. They are still going now.

[Smudg3d]

and theres still a painting of you on the front wall of teign valley glass. nice swan

[BockerAlex]

Wow, amazing work!

I've seen someone blow some glass and turn it into a bird, which I now have in my room (the tip of the back of it broke, unfortunatly), but glasswork looks amazing!

And you did it so fast! I'm envious.

You'd make me want to get into doing that sometime, haha, I don't think there are any workshops for such things around here though.

[fatefulmo2007]

I love all the videos you've posted. I'm totally envious of the working time you've got with that cobalt blue!

I dig the silence. There are so many glass videos with "cool" music that's all about being cool and not about the glass. You guys are gettin' it done with style.

[audioglass]

Thanks for the comment. I'm glad you like the videos. We should get some more videos made. We make some pretty cool stuff sometimes. but usually there is no one around to video it!

[acroduster]

damn! I need to get myself into a hot shop and do some offhand work! that is incredible! I am jealous of the working time you get, my glass only gives me a few seconds at a time! what is the COE of the glass used in offhand? and does color chemistry ever create the same problems of differing viscosities within the same piece, or are the temperatures of the process low enough to stay better balanced in terms of viscosity?

[ramanglass544]

color is a bitch! >:P

[MuNkYBizNess]

That is fantastic, you have to keep an art of motion the whole time, impressive!

[Margriet1962]

Wow... it gave me the feeling as if I was a witness of the birth of a Swan... Fantastic!!!

[hi12345678910]

cool.. I have a hollow glass swan that you could fill with a liquid from a cavity its back and the water pressure would keep the head filled with water.. I have 3 of those.

[audioglass]

sounds interesting ya got any pics?

[artettina]

Cobalt blue is one of my favorate colors..

[artettina]

That was amazing, what is the final color of the swan? I put this in my favorates! You should list this at group!

[audioglass]

The final colour is cobalt blue. looks fantastic in the sunlight.

[Snoylnoj]

great work mate. a pleasure to watch, u make it look easy but i assume u have to be very accurate. keep it up. are u from bristol?

[audioglass]

Thanks chap! yeah you have to be accurate. but that come with attempting them ten million times!

I live in Bristol, but I am from Devon

[hotglass]

Ya know.... I love your videos but is odd that you put out silent video and call yourself "audioglass".

Very cool to watch you work!

~R

[audioglass]

Thanks. most of the videos have an awful furnace roar. there are 3 furnaces and the sound of the furnace fans has a very poor sound proofing. so i take out the audio.

maybe i should put some music to them?

[hotglass]

It's all good! You do what you what and I will just enjoy the show. I just thought it was funny, given your name. It is exciting to see the explosion of glass working videos on youtube. I better get busy!

~R

[rnahabed]

YAH!...put in some music...just nothing bad, maybe something hardcore like throwdown, children of bodom, pantera, symphony in peril, or waking the cadaver...by the way ross i love your videos...im so jealous of ur skill!!!u make it look so easy and i know...IT IS NOT EASY!!!

[Sleifen]

great

[JerkyNYC]

Nice work.
