Silver Fumed Nebula Pendant Demo

Kyle Boot Johnson with Bandersnatch Glassworks demonstrating one technique of making a silver fumed nebula pendant. Made in Aloha Oregon, on a GTT Mirage, using only borosilicate glasses. Any feedback is always welcome! Thanks!

I want to second what notorious glass said. Beautiful job of explaining while allowing us to see what's going on. Really appreciate your time and efforts. Peace

[@reneandbrendalafreniere1458]

Fantastic job. I have so much trouble doing this pendant and you make it look like child’s play. Trying this today.

[@carldickinson7288]

Boot, your vid on this subject is the best I've seen and your verbal instruction is very clear and concise! You need to make some more video's!--------------"Great Job"

[@Smoketrees503]

Thank you so much for posting this. I'm going to go ahead and give this a shot! Thanks again.

[@greeserthedog]

Thanks Kyle Boot, You made a super good video, details and quality filming for a instructional video. Make more please.

[@thePTScrew]

Seriously that is the best tutorial I have seen. Thank you for bringing your knowledge to us beginner! Peace from the uk.

[@dedejohnson6203]

Excellent instruction. I'm ready to try this out. Thanks for sharing.

[@notoriousglass2184]

Damn man.. I've watched a good few videos on here and various other places including DVDs and I honestly think yours was the best at showing and also explaining what you are doing at the same time. It's very nice to have a nice clean view of what you are trying to learn, I love how after you explain while your doing it you then bring it up to the camera and give further detail. Please make more videos, hell make a DVD, I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Seriously, thanks for taking the time to make t

[@ewdb]

excellent video! great job explaining & showing each step as well as the final product. I'm going to have to try this in soft glass...

[@lmwfy]

excellent commentary and visuals!

[@michaelcravens4231]

This was a great demo thanks for sharing I can't wait to try this

[@xhxixtxmxex]

best demo on silver fuming i found on youtube, thx! ~Gerg

[@BrianGillenwater]

Great video! Would like to see more!

[@spacemoney420]

This is Awesome. I used my buddies torch to make this. It became my favorite style anything! I made my pendent thus way, got a bong bowl made thus way, just need a pipe made like this and ill be set! Ill be using this any chance i get just because i love how it will never turn out the same way twice! No matter how hard u want to try!

[@tremak12]

Great Demo.

[@BandersnatchGlass]

Hey thanks for the feedback! I'll be posting more soon, involving the inside out glass process.Glad to have helped!

[@robrob3828]

you never made another video after this one T_T it was such a good tutorial as well.

[@thetrace360]

Gorgeous!

[@Lacaro971]

Dear, thank you for your tutorial. What silver do you use ? Foil, leaf or hard silver, like old part of jewelry ? Thank you for your help. Carol

[@BandersnatchGlass]

You are going to be looking for 99.9% pure silver. Jewelry often isn’t pure enough, as pure silver is too soft. I used little pellets, that I stuck on the tip of a spare quartz rod (quarts has a higher melting point and keeps its shape better to hold the silver bit). Wire is also available from many sources. Thanks for the question! Glad to help!

[@Lacaro971]

Boot Johnson thank you for your answer. I don’t have ti much information because I am from Caribbean. Could you tell me where I can find pellets 99,9 % silver and spare quartz rod. I will try with a silver wire that I have heavy to put in the glass. Do you know if this technique is used to make nebula in galaxy marble or if they use also color borosilicate. Thank for your help. Carol

[@BandersnatchGlass]

carolgouyer you can find the wire easily from most online glass retailers. Shipping should be reasonable since it’s so light. You can also order a small diameter quarts rod, 4mm or larger will do. You can use Borosilicate as well, but be careful not to melt the rod that your silver has been attached to. The backing of colored borosilicate is what makes the fuming stand out. Without a dark background, silver fume appears yellowish and wispy.

[@Lacaro971]

Dear , I have bought of glass for flameworking. I dont’t find lhe invoice to check if they are 3 good for borosilicate. I only have references on the glasses Z87+RX375B , the second one Z87 147 mm and the last one TORTOISE 51 18-145. How can I check that information? Thank for your help ? Carol

[@Lacaro971]

Eyes glasses, sorry

[@thvbreezeknees2331]

what kind of chair setup do you have there? i need something like that for my shop. got bad knees and cant stand all night.

[@BandersnatchGlass]

Love my chair! It’s a walker. I removed the handles and added replacement office chair arm rests. The arms are adjustable and really help stabilize my arms against fatigue.

[@thvbreezeknees2331]

@@BandersnatchGlassJohnson how did you ad the office chair armrests? dude thas friggin brilliant. I've gotta figure out how to keep from having to buy K tank refills every few days and i need my chair setup and ill be good to glow. definitely going to give this a try later when I get off work.

[@BandersnatchGlass]

thvbreezeknees thanks! I use the chair for everything I do sitting. I used small cuts of plywood, and some bolts. I had to drill through the metal tubing, but that was pretty straightforward, just important to get them lined up right of course. The pads I use now are from amazon. I searched “replacement desk chair armrest”. Good luck! They are well worth it.

[@ThePonz131]

I know this is a really old video, but what kind of ventilation hood would you say to use in a garage this size? And do you just run it out your garage door or?

[@BandersnatchGlass]

Cody Ponzetti I used one of those 24” industrial fans. Had it screwed into the base of the window in front of where I worked. As long as a door was cracked, it did a great job pulling air. Maybe a bit overkill, definitely loud, but it did the job.

[@ThePonz131]

Boot Johnson nice nice. I’m getting a list together of everything I need to get started and that was a big question I had. I appreciate it

[@carterfuehr-bush4231]

Really nice video and instructions, but it seems like you could just make the piece, domed and all, off the very first punty you put it on. I'll have to try this and then get back to you....my boss and I use a Kobuki so I should have no trouble. It's funny, because literally yesterday or the day before he showed me the technique with prepping the 13/14mm rod with fume...although he puts many more 2/3mm stripes on it and burns off what's left in between before making something.

[@carterfuehr-bush4231]

It worked! Came out fantastic. I did indeed make it off of the first punty after pulling it off the 13mm rod, and I made it a litter flatter and taller with a red background. Was going to make more, but then ran out of oxy. Thanks for making such a great video.

[@Rawlaax]

subd please provide moore instructional vids! loved it

[@walker2508]

Awesome vid mate. Subscribing for more

[@Infiniteconsciousness444]

how is your ventilation set up in this video? looks like the garage is just opened half way. do you have any fans running or anything? i currently have a home set up and no ventilation other than an open garage door. do you think this is okay?

[@BandersnatchGlass]

Infinite consciousness definitely get more ventilation in there! Toxic fumes are no good! I have a large window in front of me with, a shop fan mounted on the windowsill. The garage door being cracked allows a constant flow of fresh air in. Your lungs are worth the investment.

[@betsyhinze7407]

Would it be possible to do this with soft glass? I know it's more shocky, but other than that would there be any other issues?

[@BandersnatchGlass]

NP man. Thanks for watchin!

[@mitchellchurch3385]

What type of torch are you using?

[@stevens2340]

Thanks mon

[@poelgeestglass]

Dont know what I am doing wrong, the fume on the glass is brownish, but never more. Also the silver melts away very quickly.. I am doing something wrong... but what....

[@organic_sad]

thank you )))

[@BandersnatchGlass]

Sorry, I have no idea about working with soft glass. I would think that it should work.Let us know if you give it a try!

[@JSmith8388]

What kind of torch are you using?

[@BandersnatchGlass]

It's a GTT Mirage. Awesome torch. ^_^
