Hi Kelly! Thanks so much for your comment. Hopefully this will be the first of many new tutorials. I don't know why but YT stopped showing my videos when I took a break from posting for a few months..... It feels like I'm starting over lol. Hope all is well! Sim
@@FusingShop it really bad they stopped showing your videos because they are really good and a great learning tool. Have you tried duel steaming to YT and Kick to get extra screen time in one? So you widen your ordinance as your videos deserve to get a lot of screen time for their educational value and for you too
@@kellytomic5372 Hey Kelly! Thank you so much for you kind comment. I'm happy you're enjoying my videos. I've been putting in a lot of extra effort in making them fun and educational. I've never tried live streaming before. I'm not sure if I have enough of an audience to do something like that. TBH I've never heard of Kick. Is that another video server? Hope all is well! Sim
@@kellytomic5372 Ohhhh. I just replied to your other comment and asked what Kick was lol. I'll definitely check it out to see how it looks. All the best! Sim
Hey Arowe! Thank you for your love and support! Lampworking is a ton of fun and once you start it's hard to stop. Hope you're having an awesome day! Sim
Cool! It's looking more and more like I'm going to have to give lampworking a go. What kind of gloves do you recommend for beginners ? I could see myself dripping some molten glass on my hands! Lol
Hi Ken! That's awesome. Once you start working with glass, it's hard to stop. So I don't use any gloves for handling the glass. You need your fingers to be able to rotate the glass and I don't know of any gloves that give you that freedom. Maybe someone else can chime in here. All the best! Sim
@@FusingShop I noticed in your tutorials that you didn't wear any gloves. It's hard for me to do any kind of work while wearing gloves, but sometimes working with flat glass, glass gloves are a neccessity. The reason i was wondering about it is that ball of molten glass looks somewhat intimidating to the bare flesh, being new to lampworking and all. I know that once you work with it a while, you'll learn the melt "rate" and the firmness/softness of the glass. I'm definetly interested! Thank you for the advice and the tutorials, Sim!
@@kenhenry3005 Hi Ken! I hear what you're saying about the molten glass looking intimidating. I've seen people drop hot glass on their clothes and it's no joke. Once that ball of fire touches anything it will instantly catch on fire. If you can, I recommend taking an in-person lesson because there is nothing like working with someone who can fine-tune your technique as you're working the glass. I do my best to cover all the basics in my tutorials but everyone is different and it could be a minor tweak that changes everything for you. Just so you know, I still get burns from the glass lol. All the best! Sim
Love the purple!
😍
You didn't mention your favorite tea.

@@nechamawoitovich8553 Yum!
Love this tutorial Sim! I bet your wife loves that heart pendant.
Thanks! I love making them for my UA-cam audience
I can't believe how you can melt that glass down and shape it so easily. Awesome stuff!
Hi! Yeah glass is pretty amazing. I was watching a video last night how they make perfume bottles out of recycled glass. All the best! Sim
Great tutorial Sim, I love how you have used a piece of glass that most people would have thrown away it is a great use of resources and ingenious
Thanks so much! 😊 Hope you're having a great day! Sim
@@FusingShop I hope your days have been great to Sim

Loved the video Sim and it was great to see you back behind the torch again
