It's my first time but I want to try,can u guide me

I'm sorry to hear that. I can't image what kind of pain you're feeling and have been through. Sending good energy and blessings your way. All the best. Sim

Hi! Yes, my shame will be forever known on YT for messing this one up lol. I'm planning on remaking this video WITh the finished piece included. All the best! Sim

@ gorgeous work no shame at all

Hi! I buy the colored glass. I'm not sure how glass is colored. I know they use elements such as cadmium to "dope" the glass and color it but I have no idea how it's done. All the best! Sim

Come down to the shop bro! You can make your own shizzle whatever size you want lol.

Yes it is. I run it off a BBQ propane tank and a K oxygen tank. All the best! Sim

Thanks Mario! I appreciate the comment. All the best! Sim

Hi! Yes that is another name for it. All the best! Sim

That is awesome! There are a lot of good glassblowers on TH-cam. Highly recommend checking out Revere Glass. All the best! Sim

Thanks for the comment! Yeah it's so amazing what glass can do. All the best! Sim

This is truly beautiful! Thanks for sharing. All the best! Sim

Thanks for sharing. Now what is a methylated spirit lol? All the best! Sim

Yes indeed. When you blow glass really thin, it gets extremely fragile and makes micro-fragments and can cause some serious damage. The joys of glassblowing lol. All the best! Sim

Yo I made a mini pipe bubbler are you interested in buying it???

@@Nelly-ku4zn Nope got plenty of my own.

Hi Richard! Thanks for the comment. I used to use a lav mic and talk while doing the lesson but the torch was soooo loud that it was unbearable. All you could hear was SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS the whole time lol. All the best! Sim

Thanks!

Hi Adrian! Yeah they are really helpful. Can never have enough clamps lol. All the best! Sim

Hi Richard and welcome! I don't have a video on this yet. It's called coilpotting and it's a technique used in pottery. Hope you have an awesome day! Sim

I need this lol

Hi Cecelia! Thanks for the info. I would love for you to show a demo on how to best use these types of torches. All the best! Sim

Lol. I asked my audience if anyone had some nasty glass they wanted me to clean on-camera but no one volunteered. All the best! Sim

Yes I'm still alive. Thanks for caring about my wellbeing! Sim

Hey David! Thanks for the tip. I'm going to pick some up today and give this a try. All the best! Sim

@FusingShop no worries. I have a real hate for dirty glassware. You don't see wine experts sipping expensive Bordeaux from old pickle jars that they polished on their t shirt but people still toke from pipes that look like old diesel engine sumps.

That is a legit way to do it my friend. All the best! Sim

Lol sounds good!

Hi! I use a wireless system. It's the Sennheiser EW100 G3. All the best@! Sim

'til the muck has shifted. Doesn't take long, ten minutes or so.

Yeah 15 minutes should do it.

Hi Mike! I'm currently not making videos at this time. YT was a ton of effort for very little payoff. I can try to help you with you glass journey. Let me know what specific questions you have. All the best! Sim

Yes the roller definitely helps. There is no substitute for learning to spin with your hands. It's a skill that you're going to need so keep working on those hand turning skills. All the best! Sim

Hi LB! Can you send me a photo of the type of glass? Might be fun to make. Sim

You should make a video on how to use a torch like this

That would be awesome! I'd love to learn how to maximize the use of this torch.

​@@FusingShopI melt around 20 grams of silver or gold etc with this exact type of torch as its easier than testing the oxy every time I need to melt a smaller amount for jewellery, I also use this torch to harden smaller steel parts, the hot part of that torch is the inner light blue flame just like on an oxy bro, that particular torch will get suffocated out if you hold it straight on to something you're heating really closely, instead angle the torch and push it in closer so the flame has somewhere to shoot out the side and still draw oxygen from the other side. I've found with this torch it likes to push hot air and probably unburned gas etc around where the air vents on the torch head are so adding an air vent extender away from the torch tip may help it draw air and get in closer to the job without snuffing itself out. That's my biggest issue with those torches as I can get a few millimetres away from the object I'm heating with my oxys but not with this unless I angle it at around a 45 degree angle to what it's heating.

​@@FusingShopalso keeping the bottle in warm water while working is another good idea with torches like these as they tend to freeze the gas inside after some use like an LPG tank and will start getting a colder flame or even sometimes splutter themselves out

Hey!!!! Awesome to see that you got a channel started Mike! I'm putting YT on hold for awhile. Unfortunately it's high time, low profit so I had to give it up as an income stream. How are you finding the production and editing process? All the best! Sim

Work with smaller size tubing that can be bench cooled. Always best to get a kiln but you can do some glass work without. All the best! Sim

Hi Richard! I'm using a GTT Mirage. All the best! Sim

Thanks for your kind comment Kristi <3. Hope you have an awesome day! Sim

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Tyler. All the best! Sim

Hey Jay! I'm not sure what you mean. A hole should not develop in the glass. I have pipes that are years old that are the same as when I made them. All the best! Sim

That's so cool! If you want to "drill" through the glass, the pick needs to be tungsten. If you're pushing glass, you can use a different metal such as steel. All the best! Sim
