Mountain glass is the reason i was able to transfer from learning from someone to doing it on my own. Litterally, Michelle was the first friendly face in the glass industry. Their customer service is off the hook, and if you spend over a hundred bucks they PLANT A DANG TREE... The best crew in Asheville straight up. If I ever had to work for someone else again, it would 100% be mountain glass. - your friendly neighborhood bear

What a great way to do the rettichelo , great qick way . I never though about using the same tube that seemed way quicker and more precise for the tube . Thanks Dustin and Kevin been with you guys a long time since 2014

[@MattJasa]

Your new Retticello method is awesome. I've always found Retticello to be a hard technique to get consistent results, It definitely takes some practice.

[@evanislost]

You should give one a try for a video on your channel. I always enjoy people practicing techniques that theyre still learning.

[@ZMan3k]

LOVE that you're bringing back these type of tutorial vids! Never blown glass but I really like how you describe all the steps that you take!

BEAUTIFUL WORK

[@mcbil24]

Doing a tiny blowout for the nozzle can be easier than doing a tiny weld 👌🏼

[@revereglass]

thanks, Yeah I don't usually work this small

[@Atlas-bn1qb]

facts, thats my go-to

[@Weeman353]

Looks amazing.

[@ismelltrouble7266]

I like to build my bubble caps from the bottom up to the handle. First I do a small coil pot and stretch it into a small tube .then blow a hole at the end of the tube. Then I do another coil pot for the center bubble. Then I pop a hole at the top of the bubble and coil pot the handle then open up the end of the handle. Then I grabbed it with hot fingers and remove it from the blow tube and then open up the other side. Done

Wow I really need to start glass blowing I watch alot of your videos and time just flys by I get so bored watching anything else for 40 mins straight felt like I could've watched another 40 mins so mesmerizing and intriguing

[@MrJeffgallo11]

Sweet cap! Love it!

[@steveprescott8361]

Wow! I was not sure where you were going at first. The inner piece looked like you were making a glass condom at first. I would have never thought to use a vac-stack like technique to make tubing like this. This was a GREAT video, educational and fun to watch. I think its time to take it to the next step and join the online school!

fav tool for them tiny openings is the 90 degreee tungsten pick

[@300Z31]

Beautiful, as always. I love the Retti design, although...I think Wig Wags are still my favorite!

[@sdferro926]

Thank you for this. Retti is probably one of the my favorite techniques n

[@sdferro926]

For the nipple on the bubble cap I just pop a hole, cover it with a solid dot of color and basically do a blowout while marvering it.

[@patrickdean9797]

i love that paisley shirt

A tippin a trickin... Thank for the motivation and education. I would use that rette for a bottom for a mini tube or Recycler.

[@osmanezrre2866]

Thank You

[@samriel]

Hey guys thanks for all the guides and demos, doubt I'd be blowing glass if it wasn't for you. Any tips for dealing with condensation in your blowtube when using frit? Been making a bunch of frit spoons and I always end up with a coating inside the blowtube that I have to rinse out before using it for another piece.

[@aname1128]

Pop a hole in the end of the blank, pour the frit in that, seal the hole, melt in the frit. If you need more do it again.

[@PaneInTheGlass]

how long does it take to anneal glass in a kiln. i hear 24 hours a lot but id there any other time i should leave it in longer? also when it is done how do you go about taking it out the kiln. do you just take it out when it is done it turn the kiln off and let it cool slowly??

[@chriskeith1308]

Love yal man

[@tomboyle5451]

First time viewer loved the video what would you recommend for someone that would like to try glass blowing do you have any videos for a beginner?

[@Jake-xm6fl]

i wish i had shirts like you

[@coltenhays7049]

Always wondered if you could do this, thanks for confirming!

Y’all too motivating thanks for all the tips and I was wondering if your got any for keeping your torch from popping 👌🏻

[@SkinnyVinnie]

Ever do any giveaways on stuff from videos? Would love that bubble cap!

[@ilyasokolovskiy3656]

So happy to see your return to youtube. I'll be trying this asap! You mention boiling out a color, how do you know when that happens and what are some recommendations to avoid it? Thanks!

[@julianmetcalfe8070]

when a color boils, you'll see tiny bubbles start to form in the molten glass that shouldnt be there, can be avoided by adjusting your gases, which depends on what color you're using

[@Spence4420]

I have the same bucket

[@joesmk007]

Don't get caught in the wrong neighborhood wearing that blue bandana haha

[@DirtySouth33T]

how do you know the size diameter of the bubble for the cap? also what do you recommend to put your bees wax in so it doesn't melt everywhere when you hit it with the jacks or other tools

[@taylordavis1543]

As a furnace worker now learning torchworking I love how you give the brief history of the techniques or tools you're using as they tend to be Venetian often. I have always enjoyed Venetian glass the most due to the delicate and intricate nature. Thank you for showing how all of these traditional techniques and tools can be applied to flameworking in such an effective way. Are there any special precautions one should take when creating fumed spoons or chillums? i.e. is fume safe inside of tubing or must it be encased to be used for smoking purposes? Proper ventilation is a given already!

[@aname1128]

at least 1k of cfm, Once you apply the silver heat the blank with a slightly oxidizing flame to the point where the clear starts to get level 1 barely orange glow. once that cools run that heat back over it one more time to "bake the silver in" you're melting the surface of the glass to allow the atomized silver to make it's way into the surface. If you're blowing off your fume you're using too much oxygen, you're too close to the torch, or you're not baking in enough. If your fume is turning out grey and gross just use a little less propane when applying and baking it in. Silver doesn't need to be fully encased for a pipe as long as it's baked it. If it wipes off with hard rubbing it's not baked in enough. If you encase fume you'll end up with the beginnings of space tubing which is also cool but considerable more difficult. I don't know everything but in my 3 years of experience with fuming this is what i've found for myself.

What’s up from north minnesota! Thank you so much for all your videos! Just started glass blowing. You guys got me interested in the craft and your channel has been gold for me in learning and setting up my little studio! What are some exercises or projects that helped you progress when you were a beginner! Would love any art from you! Thanks guys!

[@jamesradney5560]

Great video yet again guys! That retticello was beautiful. This might have been my favorite technique I have watch you do, not sure why but this was just so amazing to watch! I do have a question, do you know of any good books that are about the history of glass blowing and things like that? I know I can find stuff online but as a older guy I really enjoy sitting outside smoking and reading a good book.

[@icyflows]

Make a chillum with the excess tubing. Thanks for returning love the content.

[@flintstone4208]

Use it for a spoon bowl

Where can I watch some of these Japanese artists you guys mentioned at the end? Thanks

hey guys new to the hobby, ....well just thinking about starting thb lol, quick quetion, whaat would be the minum space need for a torch, im 23 so i got small aprt.

[@cavemanvi]

How do you guys feel about tubes? Never really see how you guys consume flower? I’m wondering when we’ll get a revere glass sovereignty/roor collab 😂 Maybe use the extra tubing for a really heady slide that I’ll purchase instantly 😂

[@nellumbackwards]

Make a hammer pipe with the rest of the tubing! Or another stand up bubbler :) I’m currently working as a COVID screener at a local college and have a lot of down time. Your videos are equally entertaining and educating. Thank you for taking the time to teach with appropriate care. Cheers

lets be honest, there are 3 kinds of people who come for these videos...... - those that love glass, those that love Kevin's legs and the deep translucency of his his milky skin and those that have a foot fetish for Dustin...... oh and the bonus crew who come for the amazing shirts and bandanas. I'm in at least 3 groups,,,, love you guys

[@ronkhensley]

Very cool as always Dustin. First a comment more then a question. Recently i chided you a bit that sometimes you forget to explain small details that us noobies dont get, like always adjust your flame to the size of the work, without saying what thatbis, or don't put your metal in the flame, without saying why (granted that one's a bit obvious), or quite often you'll have a blowtube attached and never mention it or why its on. I hope you took the constructive criticism as it was given, in friendship to give a small tip, not at all as a bitch out. My comment is for Kevin. WAY TO GO! Noticed a lot recently youve caught the perspective us us noobs and stepped in to fill in those blanks. I saw the tube this video and was going to ask here, to verify as i assumed, it was just to keep some even pressure going to combat collapse, and then WHAM! Kevin pipes upnasnif hearing me and answered. Thanks Kevin your extra viewpoint and comments are on point, helpful and very appreciated. Question, so id just been questioning my self, the aspect of heating cadmium colors too fast and boiling them, and realizing ive done it but have no clue the outcome or long term harm done. Id decided i needed to boil a section and let it cool, and slow heat a section and let it cool to compare, just as i did when first playing with striking colors, heat with neutral, heat with oxidizing, heat with reducing or carbureting flame, compare, then run tests putting the oxidized rod through a reducing or neutral etc to compare the end results. Second bit to what's the end result of boiling, what can be done to undue the damage once boiled and what should be done to not boil it, heat way out in the annealing end if the flame well away from the jets in a cooler reducing flame i imagine and is there a point like once glowing its safe to bring it to a hot hot flame. I think never, it will always boil

[@travismiller5548]

Weird way to sleeve... I wouldn't drop in the piece, the inner would remain on the blow tube the whole time, instead of flopping all around while vaccing, only to re-tube like at 16:57.

[@revereglass]

That is the beautiful thing about Glassblowing. There are so many paths to similar results. Thank you so much for sharing the way that you like to do it
