How to get started in lampworking

[@praisejeebus7544]

Great starter video. All you need is a casual two grand for the oxygen concentrator and and kiln before you get to the fun part.

[@No-we4ux]

Alternative to this is a $60 setup with a small propane tank and a $20 torch to put on top of it 😂

[@user-oq3bx2jt5d]

PLEASE! Get a ventilation set up installed in your studio!

[@norneaudiocables7663]

So awesome, excited to get my order and place more in the future

[@jirup]

Umm, ventilation? Ventilation didn't make the top five?

[@austindickersoncox7348]

Was wondering this as well?

[@loscoglass]

Its the #1 thing fr

[@pwayne3580]

Wood floor, wood table, cramped workspace, no ventilation……

[@theglassflorist]

It goes without saying Ofcourse! But I’ve got a new video coming that goes through my entire ventilation and extraction systems and why they’re so important 🥰

[@ThemisadventuresofLu]

Thank you! ❤

[@nattie911]

Is there a cheaper set up for beginnners?😂

[@JoeyisDREADful]

I've yet to find anything you can't ghetto-rig a method for if you're motivated enough and do lots of research.

[@allyschaumann1169]

Ooo I love this so much !… plz share more videos on KZbin !

[@khurrampeter8946]

Just beautiful😊

[@theglassflorist]

Thank you so much ❤

[@peterrussell5188]

If you've ignored the clicking in the background without effort youre a glass blower

[@montanabaker5959]

I’m not a glass blower but I had to watch again cuz I didn’t notice the clicking and got confused 😂

[@loscoglass]

its calming lol

[@joannecarson5568]

It’s just the kiln…

[@MantisRay861]

While you show the exciting bits, PLEASE don’t leave out ADEQUATE VENTILATION AND Didymium Glasses!!!!!!!!

[@rakeshsharma-hi6nt]

Nice

[@CailinMitchell]

Where do you get your glass from?

[@julie.66]

thanks...but you need the dark glasses i heard they are VERY expensive(IDK what they meant lol so im scared),ib every small course i took,the teacher told us we NEEDED it,and they lend it to us( careful of your eyes...i say it for you.also,if anyone has advices on price or buying online)also we gotta buy the iron things, with white liquid,you know,to put the pearl around it😢(but i guess we keep them forever..just not the liquis...let's be strong and spend 💪one day we sell them😜)

[@theglassflorist]

Definitely worth investing in great protective eye gear! Your vision is invaluable!! ❤

[@joannecarson5568]

The glasses are definitely NOT the most expensive part of your setup. In fact, not even close, so don’t let that stop you. Steel mandrels and bead release? You might want to buy a few books first and read up on everything before diving in.

[@PrincessGrumps]

Do people have like studios where you can rent time is that a thing or? Would love to try it but that seems like a lot of pricey equipment 😢

[@loscoglass]

They do in america! I'm working on building one

[@pwayne3580]

Yo the ticking is the sound of the inevitable fire and disaster that is coming. This yard is an absolute hazard. Ventilation is #1

[@theglassflorist]

Ventilation and extraction goes without saying Ofcourse! I’ve got a new video coming that goes through my entire ventilation and extraction systems and why they’re so important 🥰 don’t you worry the yard is safety tested yearly and passes with flying colours. ❤

[@joannecarson5568]

The ticking sound is the kiln cycling off and on to maintain its temperature.

[@MantisRay861]

It’s a relay. How is the yard a hazard? Yard meaning lawn right?

[@fordprefect7316]

Where do I put the weed?

[@moonchildceramic]

Where do you buy your glass rods?

[@theglassflorist]

I get them directly from Murano in Italy ❤

[@loscoglass]

How did you have an oxycon over ventilation??? 😂 most people use oxygen tanks (k tanks). And i dont see any ventilation in that studio... 🙄 that is not safe. The torch combustion releases carbon monoxide among many other hazardous fumes and gasses from the colored glass ..

[@theglassflorist]

I figured it went without saying and have a full video on ventilation and extraction coming. I’ve spoken heaps about it over on my Instagram but neglected my KZbin for a little while. Thank you for your concern though, I really appreciate it. Rest assured I have an over excessive ventilation and extraction system and have my air quality tested regularly! ❤

[@loscoglass]

Still, this is about "how to get started", and ventilation should be mentioned here. @@theglassflorist

[@snsdfx1]

What’s the weird ticking sound from

[@theglassflorist]

That’s the kilns maintaining their temperature!

[@geronimolopez5070]

Can you get started under 1000$?

[@peterrussell5188]

No

[@Rowanda7361]

@@peterrussell5188yes you can, stop gatekeeping lol

[@katiepeter8794]

You absolutely can start under $1000! Thats what im doing currently. You need: 1) Sodium flare glasses to protect your eyes (amazon $70) 2) glass (I got my multi color set from hobby lobby for $17) 3) stainless steal mandrels ( set of 20 from amazon $10) 4) bead release (amazon $15) 5) glass wool (this will cool the glass slower w/o the kiln: amazon $10) 6) Torch head $20 7) Small propane tank $7 Im pretty sure thats all I'm using currently, and i believe this is a good beginner set.

[@loscoglass]

Chili pepper kilns are small and cheap beginner kilns too, might push the budget over $1000, but worth it to anneal work. If you don't have a kiln, vermiculite can cool down small work safely after flame annealing properly, although this is not as reliable as a programmed kiln

[@GANZERBITCH]

bruh that's like 6000$

[@theglassflorist]

Yep! It’s definitely not cheap!!

[@peterrussell5188]

Bruhh that is 6k just in glass

[@Yiokalai]

HALLO dear, what is the oxygen concentate machine?Many hallo from Greece.

[@loscoglass]

You don't need an oxy con, you can use k tanks, (bottled oxygen cylinders) that you get from any gas/welding supplier

[@loscoglass]

In fact, most people use k tanks

[@Yiokalai]

@@loscoglass where do you use this k tanks, i mean in what job or procedure in juleries or lamps making?Here in Greece for the fire we use propanio gas. thanks for your answer

[@loscoglass]

I am in America. People use bottles oxygen cylinders like k tanks for welding and glassblowing. There are other applications too I am sure. Look for a welding supply store or compressed gas company and they should have them. @@Yiokalai
