The layering is really cool

[@apismellifera1000]

Puts me in mind of the cane cut German hand made marbles.

[@FusingShop]

Hey! Do you have a photo of the marbles? I would love to see what they look like. All the best! Sim

[@bo1051]

Thank you for your Helpful tips.

[@FusingShop]

You got it!

[@ALSomthin]

Nice and Im glad there is no crappy music there The torch noise isnt too bad because it mutes when you are talking. If you could get rid of about 80% of the torch noise it would be great. Im hoping some day to have a torch like that and do something with some glass.

[@FusingShop]

Thanks for the comment! I do have a chill-out series that is just glass work with relaxing music. Yeah, the torch and ventilation system are so loud and even though I use a microphone, you can hear it so much. Good luck with getting yourself set up. Let me know if you need any help.

Is that your exhaust fan ventilation piping in front of you? And what do you get from an elephants trunk........ 2 six foot boogers!

[@FusingShop]

Hey Mike! Yes, that is my exhaust fan. It's pretty close to my torch so it sucks away all the fumes. I like the joke. Keep 'em coming!

[@alejandrofloressr7913]

Please put the camera overhead so that your hands do not get in the view of the camera. Of your masterpiece.

[@FusingShop]

Hey Alejandro! Lol, my new videos have two camera angles so be sure to check those out. I may remake some of these older ones in the future.
