Good video minus the music. I like watching videos like this this with the shop sounds, that's the only way to get in the zone for this or any other kind of work. You are a talented glass worker and you don't need anything else to add to your work to make this a great video. I want to hear the roar of the torch. Keep up the wonderful creative work.
This might be the most complicated vortex tech I've found on YT yet. Very nice marble, but as a fairly new lamp worker the amount of glass he wasted/pitched makes me cry because I know what it costs for a normal (non-shop affiliated) guy to purchase. lol
lol how he just rolls that in there at the end. Looks like it came out beautiful. Boxfan has SKILLS. It always looks like fun, dangerous, but still fun- I cant wait to get into glass. Do you have any suggestions or know of any starter kits or anything that would be best??
Great video, thanks to Flow Mag U tube and people like you flameworkers like me can learn and get better without lots of cash for lessons. . . I was just at the DFO in Eugene watching and learning. . Met Kevin Ivy great guy he had lots of praise for you and your wife. . Keep it lit!. . Joepoulsbo
First off 👍👍idk how one could thumbs down but I give 👍👍 we don't get to see finished cooled product 😡😂? Where do u get those bead marvers and graphite dishes, along with other tools? Nice vid! 😎
So did he put the color down on the dichro side? He had his flame on both sides...everytime I barely touch dichro to my flame it burns out immediately :/ Dichro's one of those things I feel like I'll never get :( lol
6 years later... After you've heated up the clear side of the dichro, get your clear or color super juicy and cover the dichro side, not putting the dichro side in the flame at all. To reheat the dichro from cracking, heat up the protected clear side. If you're melting off the dichro, it's probably bc your flame is too strong, or there's collateral flame hitting the dichro as you work. At the beginning of this vid, if you notice, his applied glass is entirely in the flame and not on the dichro at all. 6 year old comment tho, you're probably leaps and bounds past this lol
YO, you could deff make a pendant out of that short that your broke off at 5:03 . LOL thats what i do when the rents due. haha Awsome vid. I picked up a few new techniques from it. FIVE STARS !!
@brunometer go through mountain glass arts for borosil glass. Its suoer high quality at really low prices, we burn through tons of scrap glass all the time with little cost
Besides a herbert Arnold, it's one of the best. Arnolds are excellent detail torches bc of how soft the flame pushes out. GTT's are highly efficient and awesome heat soakers. Even small gtts are fairly affordable and can do a wide range of work. Have your money saved up tho lol

I wish you had shown us the finished marble!
why the fuck don't they EVER do that?!

After all that I didn't get to see what it looked like after it cooled off...................
Ikr
+Brian Maybe he wasn't pleased with the end result; valued the process more than the product? Just a guess

Are you sure that's a large enough piece of dichro? My Lord.
Flows awesome 👏
Im confused, how do you do dabs on this
I hope he's joking :P

your videos are looking good, and the man working the glass looks familiar.-) go man go!-)
Awsome video!
Can you tell me what COE dichro you are using....Borosilicate I would guess??
Randall
Why do we never get to see the finished pieces in almost every glassworking video
awesome.
any advice on how to NOT burn out dichro? ive only playd with it once and not sure if it was even any good but it ended up going clear.
peace

Your candles appear to be way out there as you are coating with clear, what type of flame do you prefer to use while working dichro with your GTT?
Lovely, and very inspirational!
hey where did you get the multi marble mold? ive been looking for a good mold. ive been itching to do bigger marbles since i bought my phantom
very well made video. Thanks for the tutorial!!
so...your kiln isn't sitting level... but on the plus side that's a fine looking marble!
YO, you could deff make a pendant out of that short that your broke off at 5:03 . LOL thats what i do when the rents due. haha Awsome vid. I picked up a few new techniques from it. FIVE STARS !!
How much for one of those?
seems like a good method thanks

Dichro being another word for dichroic?
Yes
I just wanna know what brand that torch is
It's a GTT
Besides a herbert Arnold, it's one of the best. Arnolds are excellent detail torches bc of how soft the flame pushes out. GTT's are highly efficient and awesome heat soakers. Even small gtts are fairly affordable and can do a wide range of work. Have your money saved up tho lol
I guess the kiln gods didn’t bless that marble . You forgot to show the end product ??? WTH
harsh but your videos are really good.
giffin glass rock i love there tools
That.... is a lot of dichro....
Thats like $30 just in dichro lol
WOW!!!!
I'm one of the naysayers, woulda, coulda,and should have slowed down enough to show a little detail. AND dumping the marble onto the brick? PLS
What does it look like? I hate vids like this.
Infinate marble mold
