sick colors

[eisenerballer]

im interested in trying to start making glass works like these. i have an oxy propane torch, is that good enough and also what type of glass is used. every time i try anything with domestic beer bottles they break on cooldown. any tips appreciated thanks

[compman67]

@eisenerballer I am not the artist, but from what I have learned.. Beer bottles and other common glass is what they call "Soft Glass" it is worked in a different way.  wwwDOTsundanceglassDOTcom/ .. You need glass that is made for lamp working..

[BL4RG1S]

@eisenerballer Usually a borosillicate, like pyrex or kimax is used for this kind of work

[juggaloclown111]

@eisenerballer chemistry grade test tubes work very well for me 1.25 inch is wat i use

[dimmuimortis]

That is beautiful. As is the music. Very soothing. What is it?

[compman67]

@dimmuimortis Not sure, it is one of the songs in audio swap.. It does not say in any of my settings

[x5FDPHard2See]

@dimmuimortis i hate you

[dimmuimortis]

@x5FDPHard2See I love you.

@dalton91394 Ahhhhhhhh... Wow.. I am slow today.. It is my 6th strait day working .. I like it :D On another note.. I re-ripped this video from tape at a MUCH higher resolution :D.. Need to make time to make new videos.. I do not have any time constants on my videos anymore ether .. so I could put up much more of what he does..

Beautiful Work man 

[glassblower209]

Dope idea. I bust out reversals all day but never once thought to do multiple balls at once. I think ima steal your mad skills bro. Thanks for the vid.

[Kyla6592]

you could make beautiful curtain rods .... Or a bong . Your amazing :)

[Pseudoplaydo]

Everyone shows how to blow the glass. All of these videos skip the part of them putting the rod onto their punty. Is there anyway of you explaining, or showing a video that details the technique needed to get such an elegant "stick" that he has here on this rod? Also, what glass rod is he using?

[compman67]

@Pseudoplaydo  You must not be looking at all my videos.

[matengo33]

@Pseudoplaydo it all takes time..putting your punty on also takes balance....probably boro

[wickedglass]

@Pseudoplaydo the "rod" that he's using is called a "tube", the difference being that a rod is solid and a tube is hollow .... hope that helps

[uncledirtnap1]

@Pseudoplaydo if you don't know how to punty up a tube, maybe reversals are a little too technical for you at this point. Just a suggestion.

[uncledirtnap1]

@uncledirtnap1 0:39 he punty's up the tube, and its a tube not a rod.

[TSCO420]

@Pseudoplaydo heat the tip up then flatten it parallel to ur carbon pad, this must be done quik, weld punty on straight, then push together slowly to prevent a bent weld

[Chargeglass]

@Pseudoplaydo Looks like 12mil heavy wall.

[inflatablegames]

Very nice work. You are a true artist. You make it look so easy

[LedZeppGuitar]

I love your videos man! I might be taking a class in Boston over the summer and these really help me understand how lots of techniques are done. Please keep posting!

[JoshFrye87]

Great stuff man!!! Keep it coming with the videos. You remind me of a buddy that was kind of teaching me when i was 16. Sucks that bro took off back to Oregon.

[compman67]

@JoshFrye87 Glad it helps!!!

[DEAFthief]
