The process of making an hourglass. One of only two remaining glass craftsmen in Japan.

[@cbsboyer]

Since I was young, I wondered how they calibrated the hole to get the sand to flow at the correct rate for the amount of time. Today I learned they don't; they calibrate the *sand* to take the correct amount of time.

[@silkyhonorablegod]

Life is about learning, doesnt matter how old we are :D blessed!

[@SP-ki5gn]

I too learned today that calibrate by the amount of sand; the obvious solution once you're told!

[@supercirco1]

Justo eso pense, esa tambien era mi duda pero con este video lo entendi 😌

[@urmannjoe6550]

For me it was a discovery today!

[@tihzho]

When I was learning how to make real hand blown glass neon signs (not that LED fake neon) in the 70's I made swans and hourglasses. 6:32 what he is doing is called pulling a point which is a fundamental procedure for many decorative and scientific glass blowing.

Black sand makes it look cool with a black case

[@jeffreyyoung4104]

When I saw the flat spot on the wood bases, I thought, 'Great! A way to keep it from rolling off the table!', but no, it was for mounting on the wall bracket. After thousands of years of making hourglasses, I would think someone would add a flat spot or more, to prevent rolling and breaking. Seeing the hourglass reminds me of all the timers I use when cooking, but the best is an old RobertShaw windup timer that can time up to an hour, I use for baking pies and things. It has a nice loud bell that I can hear, unlike the timer in my microwave, that has an electronic beeper that gets unheard due to my hearing getting bad. However, egg timers and such, that don't make noise, I hardly ever use, as I need a sonic reminder of what I am timing! But they do decorate my kitchen! And they do work, thanks to workmen who construct them to great detail! I will keep my eyes open for such timers in the future, and buy one when I find it.

Wow. They actually calibrate them. I remember I bought an "Hour" glass once that only lasted 26 minutes before it ran out lol XD

[@saliyounis8408]

I believe the first minute is enough for this one

[@d.k.1394]

Lol

[@DSAK55]

They need to make these WiFi enabled

[@rayclark7963]

Very nice work. I work with wood and stain glass as a hobby and would like to try this. I would think that this is boracilicit glass? Does it need heat treated to remove stress?

Do they time them to make sure they are with the right time??

Yes, it's all in the video.

Here in South Florida, our hour glasses use cocaine. But OUR glasses only last 3 minutes. So you know when it's time to go bump your next rail. Miami Is For Me!

Hello, how can I order one of these hourglasses?

You don't show how you make sand into glass. What did you use the sand for? Suddenly you dry sand, then poooof you heat glass tube. What???? How do you know the sand will drop in one hour? How do you know how much sand to put in the hourglass?

[@mimihello4410]

[@thdotaku]

why not just sieve it?

He doesn't clean up the glue, sloppy workmanship.

[@danielegger6460]

That's really weird indeed. Putting in all that effort with the sand and calibration but not taking the 20s of time to wipe off the glue while wet?

[@sascha7546]

Das war wirklich sehr schön zu zusehen, richtig entspannent! Vielen Dank, das ist wirklich Kunst👍🤗
