- Coming up, the making of a chandelier inspired by willy wonka that has been upcycled from old bottles. Using various glassmaking techniques, this design is fascinating to watch!

The ARTISAN---My GIFTED cousin! Soooo proud of you.
That's what companies should be doing on a massive scale.
What a wonderful work of art…just stunning. I hope others follow this example and use scrap that’s not going to biodegrade to produce such beautiful pieces!
This is the most incredible process watching this piece of art come to life! Breathtaking. Bravo bother, bravo. 👏🏽
Gorgeous 😍
Amazing.
Very cool
Melting glass w/ the microwave??? Tell me more!
It’s new to me as well. Just looked it up, and I guess it’s a thing, but gotta have a kiln.
Yes, you can get microwave kilns - I have one for fusing glass. The workable area is _tiny_ though - even with a larger kiln, as the walls need to be so thick to bring the glass to the required temperature - so god knows how many firings he needed to run to make this chandelier at 23 minutes for every two chandelier drops!
Also, not so green - about 8Kg of CO2 emissions... 😳
You absolutely cannot melt glass in a microwave. It requires at least 2500° fahrenheit and way more than 23 minutes. I don't understand why the mictowave is needed, but it isn't to melt the scrap glass into the mold.
Too bad the horrible #D printed parts bring down the quality. Hopefully he can sell his art and get a better 3D printer.
Innovative not innovative
