Hey, Kevin!! Who is that masked man!! LOL! Nice work, buddy! I've gone to not using that marking pen when making stuff. Instead, I use a rod with a point to scratch the glass. The mark is visible and goes away when heated. Works well for me.

One of the things most often learned the hard way is that, unless it's actually glowing, hot glass looks exactly like cool glass -- so be careful where you grab it. Nice work -- you make it look easy.

Hello Mr. Teaford I've watched the video of your work, you are truly an artise of the finest caliber, I have operated a Litton model HSA back in the 60's where I assembled specialized C.R.T.s for the military and others. I worked with neck Diameters of 0ne inch to eleven &a half inches bringing out electrical connections for the control plates on the gun & guns inside the C.R.T. it was the best job

Good to see your lathe hates running true and that your cones and sockets always find a way to separate. One question, why do you stop the lathe pre removing excess glass before your first join? You're twisting it off anyway Just a small difference in the way I do it.
@ktfords
@ktfords 5 жыл бұрын
I just heat the area where I want to pull off the waste glass. Get it really hot, stop the lathe for a brief moment, grab it with the tweezers and firecut. You know when you are about to pull something off, you grab it and gets all tweaked and you have to re heat and try to grab it again. By stopping the lathe, it's just makes the grab on the glass, a bit cleaner. Hope this helps!

I know nothing about scientific glass blowing other than it almost made Niels Bohr late on a very important paper he was writing when he was young because the process was so hypnotic. I knew that because I have read and reread Richard Rhodes's history of the atomic bomb. Now I fully understand it. That part at around 14:30 where you joined those two ends to separate portions had me leaned at an absurdly acute angle to the screen and fully become a slack jawed mouth breather. Hypnotic when you do it, dumbfounding when you first see it. Great video, bruh. I didn't skip a second.

Are those roller bearings that are supporting the small chuck on your right? If so, is that to compensate for the two chucks not being exactly in phase?
@index7787
@index7787 5 жыл бұрын
Not bearings, eccentric cams with set screws for fine tuning of center. The chucks are driven by the same shaft, they can't be out of phase.
@googacct
@googacct 5 жыл бұрын
​@@index7787 I guess what I am try to figure out is how backlash between the chucks handled. Nothing is perfectly rigid and glass does not tolerate a lot of strain. I would think something would have to slip a little bit to keep from breaking the glass.

@WrenchToolTribute
@WrenchToolTribute 4 жыл бұрын
Just to clarify the bunsen burner is natural gas, but the torches are oxygen/propane, or I guess possibly oxygen/natural gas. I have never seen anyone use anything but propane or MAPP gas to blow glass with, but I guess it's theoretically possible that he is using oxygen/natural gas with his torches. Just clarifying that there is oxygen being used for all you beginners. And yes, he makes it look easy. I am a journeyman lampworker and this guy is using advanced techniques. If I tried to make what this guy is making I would crack at least half of my pieces. You can tell he knows his lathe and has spent years on his craft.

that looks expensive, I tend to think that there most be countries making these with slave labor, so it may be difficult to compete... you experts, what are the labor expectations for ppl interested in doing this sort of things, is the pay good??, I mean really good, or should ppl look elsewhere??... by the way I wonder about the glass being advertised for new smartphone screens... it appears that there is a type that can flex as if it was plastic, and seems to be difficult to damage it, its almost as if it was metal... could it be used to create these complex shapes??, if so it may be the way to go as replacing one of these parts doesn't look like a cheap endeavor
