wow that was just amazing. great video. you have some serious skill

[bradkrit]

Let me know if you post your videos somewhere else, maybe vimeo? These videos are great. I didnt realize how much tube you could pull from laying inside-out color like that! Awesome.

This guy is just incredible, I've been blowing for a little while and he has used like every technique I've seen to date. He just has a better understanding of the glass...

[beachboy8969]

hey man i got a question. is this how he always pulls color tubing or does he ever do stick-stacks or tube incasements?

ive never tried this technique but it looks like you would save A LOT of color doin it this way rather that the 2 I said above, but with less tubing in he end it would seem.

either way Ive watched this and the other glass vids so many times and gota say...

POST MORE DAMMIT!! :p

damn, reminds me of a buddy back in the day named dan chandler that could blow glass this good.

[mmaaxx1198]

Damn, those bricks are a great idea for holding rods.

[compman67]

@mmaaxx1198 Yeah.. He has been supporting his family for over 14 years doing this and is one of the few listed apprentices of Bob Snodgrass.. He knows some stuff.. and he is one of the best friends you could ever ask for ..

[kittyriu]

@compman67 I dont think he was talking about some apprentice, he meant the red bricks on your bench that hold the glass rods/tube. You know, the bricks!

[compman67]

@kittyriu " He knows some stuff.. " being the response part of it dude.. Yeah.. duh.. 

[kittyriu]

@compman67 hehehe.... How about some more good glass videos? I think I've watched them all a few times by now........... We're ready for more!! :)

[compman67]

@kittyriu Yeah... I am considering not posting anymore.. Not here at least .. YouTube is restricting the views of my Glass blowing videos.. Kind of pissing me off bad.. Half thinking of deleting the whole deal and starting over some place less NAZI Germany like. I do have LOT more video.. Just sick of ScrewTube being the police state.

oh c'mon. any song but this one

[harleycouch]

Love the Nike product placement. Just kidding. Thanks for the advice about cameras, had no idea. Shooting vids lately and will have to sacrifice a new pair of glasses. Keep'em coming Bro!

[compman67]

@harleycouch It would be funny if we made money form Nike.. I have the rest of the video of him making this.. Need to post more

So is this with the special glasses over your camera lens?

[compman67]

@djajkn Yes my friend. I am paranoid... I will not expose my Camera light sensor to that radiation without the glasses in between.  You can see the glasses in this video for the first time I think..

@djajkn

as i see it - you'll be kind-of right.

i burned my DV camera CCD with infrared from a gloryhole.

i was filming 2 full days before it happened.

your flame is different and smaller than a GH, but it has additional UV.

so your extra protection is infact against IR+UV, and not seeing the

Sodium Flare is only a bonus for the viewers.

it also improves contrast and lighting in the clip, as the camera has less light in the middle of the frame.
