The depth of your knowledge is astounding. Thank you for posting.
Still learning though.
Best video on pontils! I've researched and scoured youtube for hours. Your video was the most informative. Thank you! 🙂
Very good Kevin..I'm so happy you take the time and effort to make these presentations.....I love them all....and best wishes fom Vancouver Island
Very helpful knowledge! Thank you from Indiana USA!
Wow I bought a little glass in a charity shop in Leamington on Friday with the same T mark , a little Victorian ice lick I think but thank you for explaining. Learning so much. pS it was 99p and lovely.
As you’ve probably spotted I too can’t resist a bargain. At some point though you have to control yourself or 30 years later you will end up like me. The background in the film is only a part of my collection.
Thank you for sharing from Amherstview, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
@@lovedecanters7891 I have only just started digging and collecting bottles a few months ag, already I'm looking for another victorian cabinet to show them off haha ! Such an addictive hobby, thanks for sharing your knowledge.
As a glassblower i was fortunate to have access to an engraving arbor for wheel cutting, so what id do is have my assistant make a bit of a longer than normal pontil and bring it to me fairly hot. Id attach it pretty fully then squeeze a constriction in with the jacks midway along it. At the end if the process id cut away the vessel at that jackline, torch it molten, flatten it with a butterknife, and then use a wide engraving arbor wheel to dish in a nice curved lens type shape. Always looked really clean.
I would really like to see that. Are you in the UK.
@@lovedecanters7891 no and I haven't blown glass for years, and also that engraving arbor was in the college I went to lol
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! 🙂
Thanks Kevin I liked and learned from this video thanks
Great Video
Thank you Thank you ❤
The bellybutton of the glass world.
Lol
Excellent information, the video stopped abruptly? Looking for part 2
You’re right, there was a an exit segment, I dragged it into the project, but missed adding it to the end. I am improving my tech, getting better at editing, and learning more about glass. At some point I might redo this one, and some of the earlier ones. The advice I got on starting a TH-cam channel is, just start you’ll get better. When I started it took me 5 goes just to say, hello, my name is Kevin and this is the love decanters channel.
My comment was deleted? So I'll try again... I have a small decanter/large perfume bottle, a simple decorative piece... It has a pontil but it's too perfect; the glass is also perfect - there are no seams, no bubbles, though the thickness of the rim is slightly uneven. My first instinct says machine-made, but I'm stumped because there are no seams. In all my research it says machine-made has seams. I would love some advice if anybody is willing to help!
Hi, you can email me a picture. I can’t guarantee I can advise you, but I will try. kevinbarron@me.com
