Hey Matt! Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. First off, I love this video! Really great information here. I like how you covered so much material. I also have a KZbin glass blowing channel. I mostly make glass pipes but I love seeing what other people are showing on KZbin. I just subscribed and I can't wait to check out more of your work! Sim

[@shelbyworkman9224]

I'm curious as to the language used to describe the tools for glass blowing and lamp working. I could use a checklist with a definition of the tool, lol. No but seriously, people call things multiple names. I'm really invested in learning this skill and you by far have been my favorite instructor. YOU are seriously talented and doing your thing. Thank you for taking the time to help us out brother.

I love marbles so I very much enjoyed seeing how they're made. I appreciate your detailed explanations!

[@hunteriviney-ouellette7312]

Started lamp work for the first time yesterday. Your Chanel’s helping a bunch thanks!

[@speedingpullet7400]

Very nice! Looking forward to your dot stack. I did the Heather Trimlet 40 bead challenge a while back , in soda lime glass, and really got into the different ways you can lay down dots. So simple and yet so versatile.

[@notyourroad]

Super cool man. I've always been fascinated with glass blowing.

[@billym508]

i love the way you explain things! i subscribed to you in 2020 when i first got into glass. took a while but since then ive gotten an apprenticeship glassblowing and finally saved up enough for a home lampworking studio. gonna go rewatch a bunch of your videos for reference getting everything together these next few months. thanks again for your videos and willingness to share some glass knowledge with the world!

[@MattJasa]

You're welcome BillyM. Best of luck on your new glass journey!

[@chiberjuberdourado2487]

I’ll never make my own marbles but I really enjoyed learning about this process! Thanks! Very talented!

[@hunteriviney-ouellette7312]

Love the videos man!!! Just got my colours in yesterday going to to to the studio and try making some marbles. Thanks for the awesome videos

[@sweettooth4527]

Awesome tutorial. I will use these teaching techniques for my future students.

[@judasplow25]

[@michaelpaul721]

Nice work. Subbed

[@animatordean]

Thank you so much for making this video, ive been wanting to make my own marbles!!!!

[@MattJasa]

You're welcome! Best of luck on your glass journey! 🔥

[@animatordean]

@@MattJasa if I may ask one question, do you know where I can get one of those blow torch things like you have? I've been looking and can't seem to find a good one.

[@Nick-iz6dh]

Thank you!

[@MattJasa]

Your welcome Nick! 👍

[@camilocaicedo424]

Hi mat hete from Colombia i love ir vida and help me a Lot I m almost start with mi first torch cuz I m already work on mi mini bench and thats hard .love u put a vid doing some mini wather pipes ❤️🤠

[@MattJasa]

Hello, I'm happy to hear I was able to help! Unfortunately because of my family friendly setting I don't plan on doing any pipe work, however there are a lot of other great artists who cover pipes exclusively. I do recommend to all my students to learn from more than one teacher to broaden your knowledge. Best of luck on your new glass journey Camilo!

[@barryg34]

Nice work bro

[@MattJasa]

Thanks Barry, I had fun on this one. I'll need to keep practicing these designs, I know people take the Dot-Stack very seriously.

[@madebylora]

I haven’t done any lampwork for almost 2 years. I did loads at the start of the covid lockdown in 2020 but then I got too ambitious too quickly and lost confidence. Seeing your marbles is inspiring me to give it another go. Although I think I’ll need to start with small beads and rebuild my confidence before I tackle marbles again. (Mine is all soft glass)

[@MattJasa]

Hey Lora, there's no shame in taking a break from the torch. A lot of artists do at some point. I'm not sure if its the nature of the craft, just being an unusual activity that takes time getting used-to or something else. But beads sounds like fun. I made a handful of beads using a clear tube, but I've always wanted to practice with the mandrel.

[@madebylora]

@@MattJasa I do so many different crafts, when I get a bit discouraged with one it’s too easy to switch to another hobby! Recently I’ve been doing book binding! But I feel the fire and molten glass calling me back again haha

[@mikes8210]

Hi Matt thanks for the videos very helpful. For someone interested in starting lampwork would you recommend the light purple didydium or next shade up safety glasses. I,m a little confused that some use either or even both ? Thanks Mike

[@shelbyworkman9224]

How does the dots and lines stay intact when you heat the marble back up to remove it from the punty or add more to it???

[@stephenkessel1990]

If its glass i m into it

[@apismellifera1000]

Have you ever made anything like the old German had made swirls? BTW I myself am a marble collector. Just subbed

[@idabtoons]

🔥🙌🏼

[@MattJasa]

❤️🔥

[@MawoDuffer]

Can a torch like this melt glass from bottles to make glass rods to use?

[@MattJasa]

I have video of melting down an old ash tray into rods. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n32ugZl-l9uZg7c Although it may be possible, I'm not sure how cost effective it would be once you consider the time it takes.

[@ypcomchic]

Do you sell the marbles? Or other stuff you make?

[@lifeinbfe]

You do commissions brother ? Work is amazing.

[@MattJasa]

Sorry I don't, but thank you very much for watching!

[@jeffrey9102]

"I mainly focus on a variety of techniques " 😅😂😂 wtf

[@killdeerperiland3303]

whats with his voice? why cant you just speak normally like we are here watching

[@hahaok9587]

Why cant you just be nice

[@greenspace3279]

No need to be rude, his cadence and clear pronunciation are actually quite helpful for folks trying to follow along.

[@ghastlycreations5627]

im sorry but i needed to take breacks to watch thise video. You are really talented and its ok you want to explain the process but the redundancy and over explanig things make the video hard to watch you need to take pauses and chill a little .

[@shelbyworkman9224]

U got some nerve.... Go watch someone else who needs your help. LAWWWDD Great stuff my guy! I personally love your voice and the redundancy. Some of us need it so, thank you. Ok no more petty responses on your channel.
