Sea Anemone Marble - Flameworking Demo

[josephludens]

do you have trouble with the marble sticking to the vin tool?

[BashiGlassWorks]

@josephludens I haven't had that problem...I try not to leave the molten glass on the brass pins for long.

[kelleysueboyd]

that was just bad ass

[VillageWasherWenches]

Very nice. And like me a beginner the sway back and forth gives it a lil "life" to it, when I've tried it. Weaver does have awesome molds

[pezcandy8]

why where you wearing the mask? I have never seen anyone have to do that before.

[BashiGlassWorks]

@pezcandy8 Gold fume is very toxic. I have good ventilation in my studio but when I'm working with certain raw materials I wear the mask for extra protection.

@pezcandy8 there's no reason to not wear a mask when working solids. I'd wear one 24 hours a day if I could.

thats a badass little pokey pad you got there my friend. what is it?

[BashiGlassWorks]

@Btcrn Thanks. It's a Vin Pin tool by Weaver Industries. They are available for purchase on eBay.

wow that came out nice! I couldn't help but tense up when u moved the marble to the torch...I was like...you don't want to drop that marble in your lap!! Thanks for the vid.

[BashiGlassWorks]

@fireandglass13 Trust me...I was thinking the same thing. A hot marble in the lap is a sure way to ruin a good day and a marble! :-0

[acroduster]

[BashiGlassWorks]

@acroduster sooo many dots! It's going to be more as soon as I get the 4" Vin Pin! Thanks for the compliments Acroduster!

Nice work.......mask for fuming.......good idea........your work bench is a awful mess, unnaturally clean.......thanx again ....seafireglass

[BashiGlassWorks]

@seafirez Ha! You should have seen it prior to filming. It was more "naturally messy" than "unnaturally clean". :-)
