[@skdudeman1]

The speed, the precision and that smooth handling of the glass, my my!!! Just love watching masters at work. My salute to Bill Gudenrath.

[@RealHogweed]

You are so charming and talented, we need more videos with you Mr. Gudenrath!

[@normcovert281]

Another great performance. Bill, you're a national treasure in my humble eyes.

[@glmoffet18]

This guy is clearly a master at his craft. It's a privilege to watch this. Thanks for the upload.

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Thanks for watching!

[@NotSpockToo]

After having the chance to see Bill make a Venetian Goblet in person, it is a pleasure to watch his videos. He has such a wonderful teaching style, and makes it look so easy.

[@banditVa]

I hope Bill does more similar videos soon, I love watching them cause he makes it very interesting to watch. I hope he does some narrating with special guests when they visit, and I hope to see more glass blowing that is more than 2-30 minutes long. It is very interesting to me and I have watched all them with and without the special guests. Again I can’t wait to see more glass blowing in the future. Thank you

Thanks for watching, Heather! Good news: Bill will be doing another live-stream from The Studio during his week-long class this summer. Tune in on July 17 11 am Eastern for more Bill!

[@RockyMedure]

For Christmas I got a vase made by Bill Gudenrath and it is the best gift I've ever gotten! I love watching all of his videos.

[@cindaren79]

Cassandra I'm jealous!

[@jameslminix6428]

I was going comment on my jealousy...too late as usual...lol. Bill truly is the best.

[@mjustjeanette7026]

He makes it look so easy... Thank you for sharing these.

[@tribologist]

So glad to see fresh videos from Bill again! Thanks!!!!!

[@cindaren79]

Love Bill's demos and teaching style.

[@b.e.harder5936]

I recognized the voice immediately and now I understand how this guy is so quick and knowledgeable with the short snippets that CMOG posts! I’m sure there’s some editing, but still a master!

[@mongrain11]

wonderful demonstration as always

[@mustardseed308]

Bill Gudenrath just blows my mind; no pun intended. Brilliant.

[@MikeCarterlol]

Bill is a great teacher.

[@dcallan812]

just GREAT thank you CMG

[@annotten7413]

Is the large piece with the monograms dishwasher safe? Just kidding. Out of all of the master glass blowers there your sir are my favorite. Your art is beyond words

[@michaelserebreny454]

He said keep the punty a little soft while opening the lip; why?

[@gloriafroese9160]

Bill is incredibly talented. i think i'll get my oven fired up, an old broken glass and some tweezers and see what i can do with it....LOL!!!!

[@lsmft9576]

Why does the bubble grow after the breath has finished? In other words, why doesn't the breath just escape back out of the blow pipe?

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Depending on when during the video you are referring, the breath into the pipe during the initial bubble expansion happens because the glassblower covers the end of the pipe with their thumb quickly once the pressure by blowing has been created. Otherwise, the constant blowing forces the glass to expand, but unlike a balloon, the glass has no elasticity and doesn't want to contract again.

@@corningmuseumofglass I get it. Thanks for the explanation. Most excellent channel. Very relaxing and beautiful content.

[@corningmuseumofglass]

34:11 😄🤣👏🏼🤔😭😡😤💪💚

[@Tahoza]

Did his piece break in the garage?

[@corningmuseumofglass]

No, It did not. He was just joking.

[@amys3168]

I didn’t get what was wrong with his glass? Could someone explain? Thank you!

[@normcovert281]

Which part? At what time spot? He said he cracked the one piece with the pincers and needed to mend it in the glory hole and heat the pincers. At 56:15 or so.

[@amys3168]

Sorry! I meant the glass in his furnace. I forget that he was making a glass as well as using glass. He said something about not using the glass in his furnace because something was wrong with it. I’m at work so I can’t check at what time he said it right now. Thank you!

[@normcovert281]

he called it "old", "cordy" I found this definition from the GNU version of the Collaborative International Dictionary of English adj. Of, or like, cord; having cords or cordlike parts. from The Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia Stringy; in glass manufacturing, noting a defective condition resulting from impurities. Hope this helps.
