  You need a vin pin, it helps with uniformity for sure. I still like doing free hand implosions, but nothing beats the look of a perfectly gridded out urchin

  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.

  Nice, I really enjoyed watching and learning from this. I wish you would post more marble videos. I was wondering though, what is the tool you use at the very end for moving the marble into the kiln? Also, after you apply the dots, do you implode it but when the “cup” starts to form, you press it? Does this just go on until the dots meet at a point, or do you stop pressing at one point?

  where do you buy the large clear glass rods?

• hotglass
  

  - 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.

  Wonderful! I never considered breaking the punty off while it sat in the mold, so I’m glad you included that. Thank you for sharing your skills!
