Modest Marble - The Movie

Here's a long one. I make an implosion marble start to finish. Borosilicate Glass. I gotta thank Thomas Dolby for inspiring me to put the camera on a headset. Check my favorites for that video.

i have been interesting in doing this myself, where would i get the items and supplys to be able to make them???

[hotglass]

@thisworldisgoinunder - Use Google and look up: ABR Imagery, Generations Glass, Winship Designs, Ftantz Art Glass just to name a few online distributors. Lots of cool stuff out there.

Very nice work, where is your vent ?

[hotglass]

@slukowsk It is built into the window as usual.

Excellent Vid, thanks. Can you tell me what psi you are running your propane and oxy? The torch tip doesn't seem to be as oxidized as others I've seen. Thanks

[hotglass]

I think you mean carbonized. I'm not that careful with my PSI settings. They run between 10-15 PSI for both O2 and Propane. I watch my torch face VERY carefully while I'm working, and make sure none of the ports glow red or have carbon buildup. I clean the carbon off my torch face with a brass brush while I'm working and when I'm done. Basic Maintenance.

Your video was fantastic! You are a natural teacher and now that we have reviewed the steps we can try to do a very small marble ourselves. We've made pendants and I see how close the marble is to this process. Hope you make more such videos! Thanks!

@xhellabentx Its a GTT Mirage

[AmericanCannoisseurs]

dooooooooood im a nub and all but uhhh isnt your flame supposed to be a little bit away from the front of the torch with a surface mix? looks like you are beating up your candles on that torch from the camera angle atleast

[xhellabentx]

what type of torch are you using

[Pam4Rob]

I've always been interested in glass blowing, I think it's amazing, glass looks like carmel when its hot like that, and the different things you can make is awesome. I would love to learn how to do stuff like this and glass blowing. Plus you can be creative and be proud of what you make, also you can make useful things like vase's, bowls, plates, all kinds of things, make them for your home, or give them as gifts, and the best gifts I think are the kind you make.
