I always wondered how that effect was achieved. Thanks for the video. I'm curious, what's actual time on that piece in the video?

You, sir are an artist..! Thanks for sharing the video of your beautiful work.

hi

simply AMAZING....always loved glass workmanship and blowing glass....very talented..!!!

thank you. this video is great.

Bravo!

what torch is this?

So pretty!

Name of song please?

Hahaha, you make it look easy. But you must have hands steady enough to beat a surgeon.

What a beautiful tutorial, thank you so much!

wow

It feels like the galaxy and stars being created! Amazing. Great work and amazing artwork.

I would've add a opal coin on top. Thanks for the great vid

That’s fabulous!!!

Whos music by i really would like to know

OK, I admit it. I am stoned.

Lame....Boro is for pansies...

awesome!

Thank you for a splendid demo.

That's some amazing work!!

I clearly need to get one of those pin things! I've been doing this freehand and it's always a little janky.

great music, and good description of what you were doing at the time. The one suggestion I could make is to show the finished piece after annealing, so we can see it in all it's beauty.

Thank you for this lesson!

what do you have your oxy and propane psi set at?

I really want to get into glass blowing and the glass craftsmanship industry, making pieces and what not. But it's really cool to see how these designs are made. Honestly one of the best videos I've found even without voice. Such attention to detail, applied knowledge, and artistic touch. Love this.

Very cool! You probably got hundreds of people into glassblowing with this video!!!!! Good bless you brother!

I first saw this video in 2014 when I had purchased my first torch (mega minor and a lil smith) and this had a profound impact on how I see and approach the material. Now I own a beautiful head shop in New Jersey that sells all my work and work from friends who we teach and I couldn’t be happier. For what it’s worth, thank you from the bottom of my heart and if your ever in NJ come find “Hub City Smokes”!

what color combinations do you use for the dots?

What oxygen do u have supplied to this torch?

Amazing! I made my first implosion pendant tonight. I didn’t use solid rod though I used tubing. Trying this next it’s beautiful. I feel like with solid rod it will cut the chance of a bubble while filling the surface.

I wanted to see what the finished piece look like .

Would you recommend the gtt cheetah for somewhat beginner torch? Spoons pendants maybe some water pipes?

Ahhh thank you for this video. I’m currently in some glass classes, and I always get confused as to what I should to with the excess glass; do I cut it with scissors or try and stomp it down? It’s good to know that you can just pull it off. But I always thought that your tools would start to melt as well, and maybe even get stuck to the glass (since our classes doesn’t have the best equipment). Welp, I’m gonna try out this technique of pulling the glass instead of just trying to cut it off, THANKS !

My Native blood just responded to this

There's your lightsaber.

Japón! Ya vengo!

Ok my alien instincts are lighting up

Imagine a Kung-Fu fight with modified torches

Hey great video! I need to grab me a frog, you can get them online for garden supplies pretty cheaply right?? Also, have you done a hollow version of this, perhaps with some fume goodness? Great editing and I like the subtitled narration, but it'd be even better if you spoke over it and went through your process a bit, very informative, thank you for your knowledge and wisdom!

oh also, what was that backing color? Did I see silver? I was wondering why I haven't really seen a good silver color, like gunmetal almost, I know there's disco sparkle or whatever but if that's silver I'd love to know which color specifically,

but can this be done the same way without the stamp? or could i use something else like a cheese grater or something?

Nicely done, and beautiful. Thanks for sharing this direct and to the point video. Cheers!

This is compression not implosion for anyone learning techniques.

It would be great if you showed us what it looked like after it came out of the kiln, in good light. It’s somewhat disappointing to not really see the finished product.
