Wow. Great videos by a master. Cool to see how the stuff I use is made. No wonder its so expensive. Could sure use one of those bump traps.

Really interesting process. I wish I was allowed to use the lathe in my school's glass blowing shop

Kevin Teaford - the one time I worked with glass in chem 101 I burned the dren out of myself (hot glass looks just like cold glass)... my lab partner did the rest of our glassworks for the year (I still have a scar)... still really wild seeing glass on a lathe !!

when i was a chemistry grad student in the '80s, i loved glass blowing at the bench. simple stuff; ampules, cold traps, in situ vac line mods, side arms, etc. i would love to return to it at a higher level as a retirement job. any advice?

what model torch is the small needle flame one you were using for most of the video? it looks like a great little lathe torch (not the nationals - although very cool quartz tips)

jwdshiff Glad you like the torches. If you are interested, I just posted how to make the quartz tips. thanks

Would it be possible to weld a piece of glass tube to the side of a mason jar to convert it into a filtering flask? Like a DIY project.

@timecode37 2 жыл бұрын

sure, but be aware that you won't be able to do any vacuum filtration with a mason jar

How do you finish these up? Do you anneal these in an oven or is there a special way to do it?

@ktfords 6 жыл бұрын

Good question, once I take it out of the late, I put it into the annealing oven for 30 minutes at 565 Celsius. This process will relieve all this stress that I created while I worked on it.

FYI, Manually is not the only way, just a way. The reason for the video, was to show how to the job with no card board supports and come out with a completely straight center tube. Can you do that Manually???? No you can't.
