Step-by-step how to make a simple, double-dip, blown glass tumbler with emphasis on gathering, marvering the optimal preparatory shape, and stretching the glass to make a thin rim.

2. When you are stretching the opening with the jacks it would seem like you would either open the hole or the jacks would slip out of the opening.

What can you recommend to consider/try to get larger gathers on that second dip? My drinking cups are fairly cylindrical - but are tending towards a slightly larger sake cup size, and are fairly thin…

There is something called a "Collecting Gather" where you try to "scoop" the glass out of the furnace. This is done by turning faster and sort of skimming along the surface of the glass to push a ball of glass on to the pipe. So, turn faster (and more) and exit the glass at an angle where the glass won't drip back off into the furnace. Hope this helps!

Question. Actually 2. What are you doing to the neckline with the back of the jacks

If you're referring to the moment when it's still on the blowpipe, I'm straightening the neckline so it's in line with the blowpipe. That helps the body of the cup be on center.
