you mentioned how the clear layer you put down has a magnifying effect on the fume...just curious; have you ever played around with the idea of making...well, really, aNy kind of lenses? or prisms? I know certain types of lenses- especially in eyeglasses/contacts- have extremely tight specs... but if you had no exact spec in mind (say, 8x magnification, or a certain focal length or whatnot), and just wanted tamale something that plays with ambient light, would it be possible? or would it lend itself more to a cold fusion process? thanks for the clear steps and quality video, and for sharing your skill! well played and well met, good sir.

Hey Kim! Thank you for your comment! I haven't made any lenses or prisms, but I do make faceted pendants thefusingshop.com/polished-glass-gems. The principles are similar to making a prism which is cutting and polishing a piece of glass. Lenses are at a whole different level. They need to be free of optical defects and have a super fine polish.

I had a question, and I'm sure it's likely a stupidly obvious answer, but that glass that doesn't get used? Is it able to be recycled like how you can with metals?

That's awesome! The start-up costs of lampworking can be pricey. Depending on how large of pieces you want to make, you can usually get a decent beginner torch for $500-600. Your torch is going to be your biggest expense so get the best one that is within your budget. If you plan on working with borosilicate glass as I do, then you need an oxygen and propane torch. You can check out facebook to see if anyone is selling used torches as well as talkglass.com. You'll also need an oxygen tank, propane tank, regulators, flashback arrestors, and a ventilation fan. You can see my setup in this video, kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKK1aKN3h5xgj7M. Hope this helps!

Pipe pricing can be tricky. Since I'm in the US, it's impossible for me to compete with Chinese prices. So people may say that I price too high but I use high-quality borosilicate glass and my time is valuable. In short $25 for this piece.

I haves a question, how does one even get started into this kind of a hobby? Because this looks badass, and I would love to do it myself, but I have no Idea how to get started. I have also never blown glass in my life. Advice appreciated!! God bless 🙏

Hey Vape! One of the best things you can do to get started is to find a studio that will let you try working with glass before you make any major investments. Flameworking has expensive upfront costs. After you get all your major tools, the glass materials are pretty cheap. Definitely try to find someone near you to show you the basics. KZbin is great but nothing can beat learning from someone in person. All the best! Sim

Hi! Yes and no. Yes glasswork does take a lot of time but you can streamline the process to make production faster. Plus every time you make something, you get better and faster at making it. There is nothing like smoking out of a piece that you made yourself.
