:D Tyler!!!

Haha, he's currently the stand-in lecturer at our uni here in Adelaide. He's amazing and has so many different ideas. I've learned so much in the short time he's been teaching us.

@davethecat are you using the glory hole at all during this demonstration. I never see you flash the piece.

[davethecat27]

@OrangeAmplifiers

Most of the flashing here comes from dipping into the furnace, there are a few flashes taken, but have pretty well been skipped over as I was running out of tape at this point and didn't want to miss anything interesting (standing at the gloryhole, not so much.)

Is this guy really a Master ? - What do we Americans consider to be a Master ? -

[HawtGlass]

[davethecat27]

Master: "a person eminently skilled in something, as an occupation, art, or science" or "a worker qualified to teach apprentices and to carry on a trade independently" both definitions work fine in this situation. It's a title of respect, I feel is appropriate for someone who has dedicated their life to perfecting an art, and who is the head teacher at the most prestigious glass department in the country.

[davethecat27]

While there is no official title granting body in the United States, or Canada where this is from... I'm fairly certain anyone who has actually gained a MASTERS degree in a subject would probably argue that there is.
