[@carolgouyer]

Dear, thank you for this demonstration of your art. Is it necessary to encased the opal in the tube instead of press the glass directly on the sphere, to avoid breaking ? Is it a 10 mm tube not thick wall ? Could I try this with a mega minor ? Thank you for your help.

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Hi, we asked Miles if he could answer this question and here's his answer: "Encasement is necessary to avoid overheating/bubbling the opal. In this demonstration I used 9.5mm heavy wall, a mega-minor should be sufficient." Thanks for watching!

[@andrewhamry7760]

I need a pair of those tongs! Where can I get a set?

[@eileenmcdonald1599]

He made these for his own use. As he said in this video.

[@ajwilson313]

Excellent work. Great tutorial. The opal was burnt but hey, cant win them all.

[@corningmuseumofglass]

Thanks for watching!

[@douro20]

I wonder if he insisted on using his VERY high-end GTT torch?

[@iiicookieiii]

Anyone know where to find that smoothing tool at 31:50?

[@anne-droid7739]

Nope--it was too poetic a spoonerism to go unnoticed!

[@jackarmstrong4051]

if you ever have to ask "am i the only one" the answer is no.

[@4376ED]

What use is the end product? Much ado about nothing.

[@eileenmcdonald1599]

Go away

[@samanthashaw8181]

Can someone give that girl in the back some glasses?? 🥺 She's going to get cataracts at 24 😭

[@enricolambrusco2449]

excellent demo. i learned a lot. however, the cameramen that film these demos are not approaching it for the vantage point of the viewer. long shots are worthless. all shots should be closeup. filming should only be on the side where the work is being done. otherwise, we can't see what is being done. every corning video i watch has these issues.

[@eileenmcdonald1599]

You want to get in the way and burn go for it. Stupid but hey you do you.

[@mikeybent1]

whats with the next to him he look agry that he has to watch and is board lol but awesome job bro

[@djparamedik]

Yo that chick in the background looks like she just rolled outta bed. Lmao #mgtow
