[@dragonmaid1360]

This piece is amazing. I can only imagine the specific set of skills needed to pull this off.

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Thanks for watching!

I watch almost all of the CMOG videos, and really enjoy them. One suggestion to improve: if the folks controlling the video stream would pay a little more attention to what the narrator is talking about, and show that, it would be really helpful. It is especially frustrating when the thing the narrator is discussing is never shown at all, such as another piece displayed on the stage.

Thanks for your feedback and thanks for watching!

Most oxy-propane torches run at about 4800 degrees Fahrenheit in the center of the flame. What makes torches different from each other is how focused that is, and how close you have to get to find that hot spot. Choosing a torch isn't unlike choosing a camera lens. HTH

This is very very good glass blowing. Nice job guys

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Absolutely! Museum visitors of any age are welcome to submit a drawing.

[@developmentpossibilities3591]

..just wow... Q. Has anyone ever dropped a piece into the heating oven? ...and what do you do if that happens?

[@mylowe420]

Development Possibilities They've answered part of this question. Basically, they'd have to clean up the glass as quickly as possible because otherwise it would gravitate towards the oven doors and basically seal the doors shut. From what I understand, anyways. Hope this helps a bit!

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Samatha is correct, the glass is removed as quickly as possible, as it begins to melt and stick to the floor, and eventually becomes a puddle. If the puddle is large enough, if flows when hot toward the doors at the front of the oven and sticks to them, often making them difficult to open.

[@Valentine-Channelle]

What camera lens do you use for the inside the furnace shots and how dosnt it melt x

[@corningmuseumofglass]

The cameras used for the furnace view are Sony and Marshall brand compact broadcast cameras protected by a sheet of fused silica glass and cooled with a stream of air. Learn more about how it's done blog.cmog.org/2016/12/12/the-view-from-inside-the-furnace/ and thanks for watching!

It should say team work putting Rob's design together. All Rob did was sticking the leaves on and leaving huge gaps and everyone else did everything. What skill did he show? Give credit where it belongs. I've watched all Corning"s vids and sorry to say but this is the first design I don't like.
