Scientific Glassblowing - Coils

[@gmcenroe]

Beautiful work Natalie

[@DEtchells]

A glassblowing vid randomly showed up in my YT recommendations just now, featuring a number of glassblowers. I saw you making the 5-necked boiling flask and looked up your channel. I love your vids! Glassblowing, music, jive dancing - all of it :-) The glassblowing ones are my favorites though, I’m in awe of your skill :-)

[@MAGATRON-DESTROY]

Hydrogen and air on the torch right?

[@Noddles320]

Hey! What OD tubing you working with? Looking around for thin glass tubing to make some condensed coils with.

[@bmx28kenilworth]

You made that look easy

[@yourfuneral]

I can't get enough of these calming glass work videos. very satisfying to watch

[@75blackviking]

I've always wondered how they get glass coils so uniform. That looks insanely tricky to do that over that rotating mandrel freeforming the position of the tubing and torch. Great vid!

[@nashvilleriveraquinio6432]

Can I ask why is the fire violet?

[@bhartley1024]

More glassblowing videos please 😃

[@MrBatjay]

love seeing a young lady take so much care and pride in her work

[@dustinmetzger2519]

Nice work. There’s always something enjoyable about watching coiling in action.

[@jerrybear3081]

noticed you heated the tube first, is this to expand the tube so that is will contract when cooled and release the piece?

[@Celebnariel]

Partly, yes. Good spot! But also putting hot glass onto cool metal can cause the glass to cool down too fast and cause it to crack.

[@bearrh1]

Your shop looks familiar. Are you in Richmond Ca.? Nice work by the way.

[@Celebnariel]

Thank you 👍 the workshop is in York, UK. It's just a standard industrial unit - basically a tin can with zero insulation haha. So I'd expect it would look similar to many units :)

[@westonhuffman7908]

Well, It looks like no blow tube was needed for this one.

[@JamesBakerOhio]

Your videos are enjoyable, relaxing and informative. Thanks for your effort at sharing your skill. Would love to see more of your technique on the steps leading up to more complicated scientific apparatus, especially multistage gas washing bottles with frit diffusers or perhaps a spinning band distillation apparatus?

[@Celebnariel]

James Baker thank you very much! I guess with more complicated things I concentrate too much to be getting film footage, but I would like to make more videos of complex glassware. Challenge accepted :)

[@trekitytrekyoself]

Awesome video! Thanks

[@JoseHernandez-tm8ug]

Still waiting on those skills one more please

[@motokip6202]

that looks nice doing them in a lathe, for my exam this year i have to do it by hand.

[@Celebnariel]

Ouch! Aye much easier to do it by lathe. Best of luck :D xx

[@laithali8004]

nice work

[@thakurboys5962]

does that shaft has some taper?

[@Celebnariel]

No all our metal formers are just straight sided tubes. As long as they're kept clean and don't get bent, the glass slides off fairly easily. I imagine you might be able to get some tapered ones.

[@Thumpiez]

This person is skilled, I wish i knew how to make my own glass pieces scientific glass growing pot sucks i rather extract and learn to blow glass construction sucks aswell i build domes grones and i still say this is something i would love to do.. Not for money just to learn!!!

[@-_o_o_-]

More!

[@anandanv4128]

Great my child it will come by practice only. I am veteran glass blower 63 years old.

[@LaserJake99]

Do you do consultant work? What is your contact info?

[@migueltorello4663]

eres una gran artista!

[@sergeytsynin1787]

Thank you for your work! Very nice! Good luck for you! p.s. I watched it 3 times. :-)

[@pauloandrade1771]

Parabéns, admiro muito sei trabalho. Excelente.

[@bobdole27]

Very informative,

[@erickkeenan1011]

Hi Nice work, I am not a glassblower ( don't have the talent) but I have seen instead of a hole the mandrel has a bent rod which catches the tube and then to remove the coil there is no need to break the glass. You can try this by using the hole you have to place in a bent piece of all thread rod.

[@Celebnariel]

Thank you that's a good idea! I'll try that next time :) will certainly make things easier.
