Finally! We missed you! You should do a video on shaping. How to make different shapes for rigs like bases and such. I’ve been on the torch a little less than a year now and finally trying to make rigs but having trouble figuring out shaping hollow glass while keeping even wall thickness. I’ve always loved your shaping and style. Reminds me of sonnumberfour.
Glad to see you back, Jack! I think it would be cool if you made videos in a similar style to other maker channels. Like Black Tail Studios or Xyla Foxlin. They both do voice overs to footage of them during the design/build process. I think it would also reach a wider audience cause ppl that arent normally into glass art would stick around for your personality.
@@powerfuljackglass Hey Jack. Black tail studio uploaded today and he said something i thought you might find interesting. "I used to think i had to be a how to channel. Then i realized i can be an entertainment channel" I think that better sums up my original comment. I have been a fan of your work for at least the last 2-3 years and have found your personality very refreshing in the glass scene. keep crushin brother!
Highkey so wicked to see your entire journey I remember when you were in your outside studio now i see you killing it on instagram super dope whenever I see someone posting a melt shot and it’s one of your rigs, major inspiration! Keep killing it brotha 🤜
Can you please do a video on how to make a puffco base? I saw you where working on figuring it out. There are no videos on that and you could be the first
Wow thanks for this. I was actually curious to see what those blue knobs actually did and I finally got to see this. I was almost thinking from reading the website that you need to have an air compressor for the air injection or something. And it had its own hose ports. Or is that actually an option or is that all the blue knobs do is inject oxygen premixed. You know you can melt quartz with a GTT right? Maybe you should make a video about that.
Gtt has an option for compressed air which I think is good for quartz. But I dont have any knowledge on quartz, from what Ive seen ppl use a GTT for but not sure what model
I always felt the elite was too large of a flame to jump from the lynx to. For me I think the mirage is the best second stage in the gtt lineup. Dope torch. It’s just hard to get like a medium flame if that makes sense
I went from a Cheeta to a mirage ! Worked on redmaxs and some nationals when I was waiting to scoop the mirage ! After owning the mirage for Two years at this point I think the only thing I’d do differently is get the snub nose version of it ( just since I’m blind as a bat) I wouldn’t personally go bigger for what I’m doing & plan on in the future ! It’s super versatile when you get the hang of using it ! Would love to get a herbie one day for how soft ands encompassing the flame is but that’s far out lol
get an oxygen concentrator and a compressor and put both tanks together and you can fill while you're working and fill overnight for the next day! i have 3 tanks that i do this with and haven't had to go fill one at the store for a year. Depending on how much a k tank is where you at it can be a lot cheaper(at least for me with tanks costing 65$ to fill at the gas stores)
@@powerfuljackglass yeh if you're only going through two tanks in a week this would be great for you. I use the invacare homefill ones that stack on top of each other.
You need one for the gtt man. You can even get a set up where you have a the concentrator on the inner flame only so your on free oxy 80% of the time or whatever and then when you need the outer you can still use tanked! I’m debating getting a CC on top of my gtt mirage becuase how hard it sucks oxy
You’ve made how many recyclers and you haven’t bought some type of oxygen system, lame! L O L I have a GTT sidewinder and I’m gonna tell you what you think is a bushy flame is not a bushy flame. It’s a drill bit! Do you want a bushy? Flame is better look yellow!❤ and yes, everybody loves how to’s
It is nice to see the difference in the gtt flame vs the carlisle.
I hope to see more glass how to videos, they were always my favorite to watch.
thanks mane and i was even surprised at the flame difference haha

Thanks mane! And very good idea it took me years to figure out those thing s on my own.. so glad to make something that helps
Great to see you back! I dont even know enough about glassblowing to say what I'd like to see, this stuff is magic!
any thanks! i feel you on that before i actually starting melting id watch hours of vids on yt

I’ll check out those channels👊🏼 appreciate the input

HES BACK
Ayyeee stoked to see a vid of yours again!
thanks gonna really make an effort this year to upload on here moree

I’ll get one made here soon🙌🏼

I been noticing the same thing after seeing someone use a mirage in person

You mentioned getting liquid oxy, have you thought about a hvo system? If so what makes you go the liquid oxygen route over hvo?
I’ve only tried a hvo system once and just felt like my flame was weaker than normal…def got try it again tho it was years ago

I’ll look into it.. filling two of these every week is getting pricey for sure
@@powerfuljackglass yeh if you're only going through two tanks in a week this would be great for you. I use the invacare homefill ones that stack on top of each other.
Personally, I just wanna see you blow glass, idc what it is 😅 just take a video of the next rig you make, I’ll watch it 💯
Why not keep both torches and use the GTT when you need to make something bigger?
I wanted to initially, but I needed some cash at the time😂
🤎🐕💨
Try to get a good O2 concentrator. I love mine and you can turn the 02 up or down.
I need to try one again lol I someone’s oxy con once and felt like my flame was 20% less powerful
You need one for the gtt man. You can even get a set up where you have a the concentrator on the inner flame only so your on free oxy 80% of the time or whatever and then when you need the outer you can still use tanked! I’m debating getting a CC on top of my gtt mirage becuase how hard it sucks oxy
I would love to see some vortex marbles
our good idea! ive actually never made one but i think i know what to do
New gtt who dis
GTT in da house!!!
Make a donut blooper!!
