As a glass worker myself I highly recommend borosilicate, specially if your just getting started. It's less likely to crack from thermal stress, along with a large reduction in small & sharp debris. It prefers to break into larger chunks.
I have and absolutely love it., Was taken to McFadden Art studio for my birthday and made a rocks glass which turned out amazing. Now starting in Oct I'm taking a intro class 🤪
Correction! Pyrex glassware is NOT boro-silicate glass in the US, it's basic soda-lime glassware! Only the made in Germany Pyrex with it being stamped or etched "boro-silicate" is actual boro-silicate glass. However, most lab Pyrex is made in Germany and sold here in the states, but as far as kitchen dishes are concerned you have to pay a pretty penny to get the good stuff from Germany. Do some research on this, this happened when corning bought Pyrex back in the 80's or 90's because soda-lime is far cheaper to produce.
One thing completely ruined this video, which I was using to show my students for education purposes: the sudden image of a human face being melted off. It shocked my kids and they were so distraught about it that they retained nothing about the actual content. Why would anyone insert something so gruesome into what would otherwise be a really great video about how glass is made? I’m disgusted.
That's actually pretty common among Americans in science fields. We're so used to using one scale for some measurements (like room temp) and the other for technical stuff that it's second nature.
90 degree day? How are you guys still alive? Seriously though... stop using anything but metric system and Celsius (or Kelvin) in science videos, anything else is stupid.

What talent Tim has. I’ve been to McFadden Art Glass 3 times and came out with something to be proud of. Plan on going back many more times.
Reactions.... Finally!!!
U made me love physical chem

Reactions: "Glass is made out of sand. Yep that's right!"
People: "Huh? What... but how?"
Minecraft players: *I have infinite knowledge*
I really only was interested in melting and shaping metal but now I would love giving glass blowing a try.
You can start with Lamp working. It's glass blowing but on a torch.
@@MattJasa ok thanks.

Hey! I love y'all -- thanks for coming to hang out in Baltimore!
Totally--we're big fans of Bmore!
.......WE LOVE IT😍💕
I liked this video.i wish they make a video how cement is made
Another awesome glassblowing channel is Corning Museum of Glass.
Wow😀 superb 👍
I like my lime soda in a soda lime glass
Is there a hot shop in Mississippi?
I guess my favorite doom metal band should be called (Boron) Bong.

I was previewing it to show to my students and thought the same thing! I will not be showing this.
It's from the movie Raiders of the lost ark. As a teacher myself I completely agree. It was most likely added for entertainment value.
Irradiated soda? You mean nuka-cola😈
Super nice video, why put in the gross melting man??? I was going to use this for 2nd grade, not now. super sad.
That clip is from one of the Indiana Jones movies.
Well, I wish I could do this because I can blow up a balloon.
Wesh Marius
wtf you used both celsius and farenheit 😡

How ironic is it that I just got into glass blowing lol
