Glass blowing with a desk and torch or a lathes has always fascinated me. Never really had any time for it due to a fast moving military life then, afterward setting up a civilian life.
But now that i got school balanced out as well as my personal life i finally think its time . I already took a class on blowing glass in my local community college, and build a decently sized ventilated shop by my garage. (pics soon to come) but i believe i would much rather take a few tips from stoners in the industry
So let me know is there any tips or trick you would like to share before i start ordering a new torch, kiln, tools, material etc.. Any specific brands sizes, maybe something special or extra you use to make it a bit less tedious
A website to buy equipment or material at at a good price, a special brand of a certain part or tool. A trick that that you suggest doing in a certain scenario. Maybe some words from the wise to the newbies at glassblowing.
