[deceivingmage]

Epic :D

[GUNZnRAIN]

holy shit thats how they make EVERY one??!!?

[DebbieSushi]

Hey make sure not use copper pipe...

[natureshamy]

Someone needs to make a Metroid lava out of glass! make it happen!

[blondieful3]

coolest job ever!!!

[akeel731]

aswsome!

[SinanUnur]

@MyTawi No, this is all I have.

[MyTawi]

The voice is not clear, are there any better one?

[TheCerberusInferno]

Waow ! this guy is a sorcerer !

[MelissaSosa48]

Cool

[dporrata]

Therapeutic

[giannine18]

Lady, stop saying "Wow!" LOL

[crossfire322Music]

This was a really cool demonstration! And WOW that lady should have either shut the hell up or found something different to say.  -_-

[noodlenate]

Very cool! It's wonderful to watch someone with great skill work their trade. Near the end when he heats up the widened glass bowl and spins it to make the "fluted" wavy effect, I was in awe.

[Candyismylife226]

This is the only video that can make me stare at a peice of glass this long :)

[ZehStreetNinja]

I have one word for this video: Wow.

[TRSRM]

I tought it was just put a block of sand in the furnace with some coal to burn it and soon you get a block of glass, but it doesnt looks that simple in real life.

[Meerkat218]

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW

[YorkGod1]

@mikeltxuu yea its like for fucks sake be more creative bitch hahaha

[Affy555]

that's incredible!

[Sillybandz25]

Duuude i was just there todayyy! :D

[DaMidget922]

but will it blend?

[rickyibarra]

Just the way of making Glass is magic, more than product. What you think about Glass is not a solid but a super slow liquid? I mean, I saw in this article that glass never crystallized. Any answers, opinion?

[Pandoraforlife]

Shouldn't he be wearing gloves? I know he's been in the business for a long time but touching that looks like it might hurt like a bitch.

[pwdFTW1]

whats this job called?

[rickyibarra]

@pwdFTW1 Wowers

[Zeroes123]

Commentary was great really enjoyed it

[Darisha123]

thats truly Amazing

[Sleepyhead84]

How much money to glass makers make?

[Damaruth]

molten glass is sexy :D

[PrpleNugs]

damn! i thought it was all cooled off at the end until he said its about 1000 degrees

[zooyorkcrazy]

thats amazing!!!!!! thanks for posting!!!!

[rashesh1979]

excellent  video

[alliebaboo]

I just made a glass flower there, very very fun! We spent about 3 hours there, and we didn't even see hald of the museum. Amazing place

[thesuperkain1]

Nice!!!!!!

[aldwin3456]

HOW THE F DID THAT HAPPEN! that was awesome!

[palleagle1]

its actually called crack off

[xWhenElephantsFlyyx]

I've just seen this show a few hours ago, and I'm in a hotel. Absolutely BREATHTAKING!!!! As is Corning. It is such a beautiful place and there's so much to do. :)

[JamelleFunk770717]

Excellent place to stop and tour at if you are travelling through southern Upstate New York. I went through it one day in the Summer of 1975 when it was formerly called the Corning Glass Center along with the Rockwell Museum of Western Art there,and the Roberson Science Center in Binghamton. Another excellent place to stop and tour at is the Great Lakes Science Center in Cleveland Ohio.

[rainbowspite222]

cool, very imformative, I always wondered how they did this. Glass is sooo pretty!

[fearqueen27]

that is so cool how they do that i would love to do glass art

[edisonzzzzzzz]

that woman in the background is so damn annoying.. all she says is "WOW"

[giannine18]

@edisonzzzzzzz so true! >.<

(but seriously, glass blowing is amazing)

[ilyboogie]

@edisonzzzzzzz hahahahaha agreed.



[DJRobwhy]

i want to visit corning!!

[badde08]

It would have been fun if the bowl breaked when they were finished.

[acerb45666555]

the coolest pieces have imperfections in them. like in Roman glass! thats why the original rough glass making techniques must be preserved. i think the typical modern wine bottle or kitchen glass thats bland and lifeless is boring!

[ronney2211]

omg i was here

[RoPWU]

you guys still do that thing where you put a piece of paper in the glass when its done and it burns into flames in just a second?

[RoPWU]

7:06 at the top of the screen you can see a camera view of the furnace, when i went there the people said there the only glass company with something like this. its amazing

[dymundprynsess]

o lol maybe i shoulda watched the whole vid. lol 15 years

[dymundprynsess]

u can tell he worked there for a while, he aint use no gloves...i love watchin glass form...

[koakid58]

glass blowers dont wear gloves.... period

[dymundprynsess]

o i didnt kno....

[heshamhassan1]

هوو هو هو هو هو هو ههو هو هو هو

[mississful]

soo koll and beautiful

[Espeon02]

lol i was there last weekend.. it was really interesting..

[ActionReplayPerson]

ive just submitted 2 vids of this myself. go to my channel to see.

[apatel769769]

its a HOT lightbulb!!!! lol

[iamdabomb22]

dude that lady says wow too much.

[Colin24Astonwood]

Great video!

Could you use a Copper blow pipe instead of Iron? Just doing some research on Glass Blowing!

[SinanUnur]

I have no idea. I was only watching these guys work their magic ;-)

[mserebreny]

No you cannot use copper, the pipe would melt. And the pipes they're using here are actually steel. They just call it an iron because of tradition

[verryla]

@Colin24Astonwood No because, copper is an extraordinary conductor of heat and electricity. Thats why they use it for computer wiring and what not.

[shadowheart43]

@Colin24Astonwood hey. no you can't . the copper will just melt. i know because my hs has glass and we were fusing copper into glass

[QBMan]

@Colin24Astonwood well maybe its getting your hands too hot and the glass to cold.

[Dierwolf2000]

@Colin24Astonwood

no copper's too heat conducive. the steel is used because it won't wick heat to the level of your hand.

[anglopicker]

@Colin24Astonwood

copper conducts heat more so the 'iron' would get hotter further up and be impossible to hold, plus it would oxidide at this temperature

[Dierwolf2000]

@Colin24Astonwood

no copper would let heat travel too far up the pipe. the pipes are made of high carbon content stainless steel, the heat travels at most a quarter of the way up the pipe. if you used copper you'd be melting your hand off.

[ecordellable]

@Colin24Astonwood Blowing glass is usually kept at around 2100-2150, and pure copper has a melting point of ~1980, so that wouldn't be a good choice of pipe material. Even iron pipes can reach forging temperatures when blowing glass.

[adautopego]

@ecordellable trabalho com vidro dese 1985 nos sempre usamos canulas de aço inox .

alem de suportar as altas temperatura é mas facil de manter a igienizaçao .

[lukatehtroll]

@Colin24Astonwood No you couldn't, copper is known to be the best heat conductor so when you take out the glass you'll just burn yourself :F

[Dierwolf2000]

@Colin24Astonwood

No, coppers so soft it can actually be encased in glass without shattering the glass. do NOT attempt to use copper tube as a blowpipe you will burn the fuck out of yourself.

[1truth12]

No, you can't use copper pipe instead of iron. This is because copper (Cu) is a very good conductor of heat. Furthermore, this is due to the extra electrons on the outer shell.

[mrgareta]

@1truth12

The glass is at 1000 dg C - copper melts at around 700 dg C

copper is sometimes used in the melt of glass to colour it.

[UniteForgetLeftRight]

@Colin24Astonwood copper has a much lower melting point than iron or steel, it also transfers heat much much faster meaning you may not be able to hold the pipe as closely. i am not a glass expert but i have a strong metal fab background

[DarrensAngel101808]

awesome vid! I love to watch glass being made into different objects

[Janeb34]

wow (*o*)/ beautiful

[e1s0r]

wew... it's cool...

[21stCenturyLIVING]

a HAUNTING

[MKMARKS]

We saw the glass maker create a vase a few days ago!

[phearthis85]

Ugh, fluters are what people buy the most but I hate them! I am a glass blower at my school and I just don't like them.

[THEMAN080]

wow

[SinanUnur]

I wish I could have told her to stop saying that. It does add an element of humor, though.

[DonaldHoughton]

This piece of glass looks oh, about more thana 1000 degrees.

*Ahem, ahem celcius...ahem...*

[NuitSanWoggaWogga]

no. Fahrenheit. 1000 degrees, the glass doesn't move. 2000 degrees is right from the furnace.

[thedanishglassblower]

Oh I hate that tecnique!

[dwreq]

this looks boring

but i like fire

[NuitSanWoggaWogga]

ok.... try it and you won't think its boring

[NuitSanWoggaWogga]

sawing of the neck is... weird. if he had the neck cut in well enough, it should break off without the sawing

[Scotter83]

I'm honestly shocked a large corporation wouldn't have him wearing protective gloves. Look how close he gets sometimes. I just heard the anouncer say "We've had some people learn the hard way".

Cool stuff never the less. I invested in Corning about a month ago.... not goin well so far, hopefully we'll see a change soon. It really is an excellent company.

[NuitSanWoggaWogga]

glass workers don't usually wear gloves unless they are doing something huge. and besides, having the gloves on actually makes it harder to hold and handle the tools potentially creating a worse injury. plus, your hands don't get as close to the glass as you would think. Now, you may be saying, "well how about the newspaper?" well, the newspaper is kept in water and doesn't get hot.

[saintzblood]

oh an air hose attached to the sofietta.. i was like why the hell is he shaping with it??

[rrrohan2288]

lol someone said 'Wow' about 30 times during that video

[blindskater2490]

oh my fuc%$^& GOD!!!! Got any room for an apprentice? haha awsome. 5 Stars!!!

[patRON500]

I live in corning and have been to the museum of glass many times!Its realy fun

[plyhockey28]

i went on a class trip and saw this in real life

[ukevergil]

Awesome vid, but who was the chick who kept saying the incredibly stupid sounding "wow"? It was fucking annoying.

[isp3cmyself]

wow dat was kool how it like poped and he started to spin it

[miketheday]

Cool video! I saw this done before and was glad to find a video.

Great!

[TreasureFiend]

that was cool, thanks for sharing.

[zaadicus]

and this is really awesome btw :)

[zaadicus]
