- When I first started making #GlassBeads, I AVOIDED doing #LongerBeads because I just couldn't get both sides of the bead equally balanced. But at one point a realization hit me and now Balanced & Centered LONG Beads are Easy As Pie! Come and see how easy it can be...
We'll also be looking at a simple way to mix glass colors as you work.
The goal of this FREE video series is to simulate a one-on-one glass bead making lesson. Step-by-step instruction, first person perspective lessons - Great for beginning #BeadMakers and even helpful for more experienced #Lampworkers!

This video was filmed before I was told that I had stage 4 throat cancer. Now, as I update this video text I am in an alternative care center in Germany.
I am unable to speak properly because of the tumor on my tongue and have lost more than 80 pounds (36 kilo). But we still have hope and YOU can help. Please consider donating to our cancer fund. Link below:

Thank you for the video Tim. So sad Tuscany is off limits for now. I love the way you've worked the three rods and ended up with a beautiful mottled color bead. I must not be using enough heat after shaping. Does spinning the mandrel toward you help get a more controlled flow of glass? I have worn out my thumb tendons and now have donor tendons. I think they were donated by a sloth - I can no longer get an even bead of glass laid down on the mandrel.
Hi Jessica - Thanks for your note. Visit the following link to another of my videos where I talk about holding the mandrel during the melt process, keeping the bead in the center of the flame, etc., which might be helpful. Also, in that same segment I talk a bit about using a half rotation of the mandrel during the melt process instead of a full rotation, which might be easier on the thumbs. Let me know if that addresses your issue. Thanks again. th-cam.com/video/Kf0piYwZTl8/w-d-xo.html
