I I want to say Thank You too, it's so kind of you to create these videos for everyone's reference and learning.

Are you working Boro or COE 104? It would be helpful to know in the different videos.

@finefollyglassworks I use borosilicate in all my videos.

Are you throwing the finished shapes into water after cutting them off?

[TimiaGlass]

@justinjsaley The water pot is for waste glass. Any relatively small hot piece of glass that is no longer wanted goes into the water pot. That keeps bits of hot glass off the work area,

@TimiaGlass thanks for getting back to me. I have a question that I hope your may be able to help me with. Do you know if a torch can be used like this to bend the neck on a wine/drink bottle? By the way, thanks for all of your videos; I have learnt a lot from them.

[TimiaGlass]

@justinjsaley Yes, you can do that. I have seen some people stretch coke bottles also. But, unless you anneal them in a kiln immediately after heating them they will break when they cool.

Thanks for all the videos. You have really taught me a lot on how glass moves and works. I think its great that you make such instructional videos. Keep up the good work and I guess I'll keep learning.
