@nhcorn, the blow pipe is cut using a Carbide Scribe, Delphi Item #5120. Since they are 90coe they are annealed at 900 degrees. 20 minutes is sufficient. There are more dates than I thought for the the class @JennysSandBox...here are the upcoming dates 9/19, 10/1, 10/30, 11/26. Maybe you could make the trip after all :)
Could you post the firing schedule for the program? We've used blankets before and just got the chilipepper, so I'm excited to have a proper product. Thanks for your help. :)
We recommend to set it at 900 F . 15 min is probably long enough but the last one needs to have the 15 min. and then not opening kiln until below 100 F.
where do you buy the crystal colbens? I have a propane torch that I modified to run off a 20 LB BBQ grill tank with a regulator so it's super economical to use and you can work from any angle including upside down if that's what you need, so I would love to try this!
These are from Delphi Glass the COE90 Glaskolben pre-blown clear glass cylinders- just go to DelphiGlass.com and type it in the search engine. they are on sale this month :)
@JennysSandBox, Delphi offers a Blown Glass Ornaments for Beginners Class on Mon, Sep 19 from 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm for $60. But we are located in Lansing, MI, which is a tad far for you!
curious what type of safety glass are you using to cover all types of glass. I have read on Phillips 202. Often referred to as “rose glass” or “didymium” , Green ACE IR 3.0 Green ACE IR 5.0 covering all glass pretty much for art work type stuff. Even researching all of this its a shakey thing because you never know if you have soda lime or borosillicate or another blend /mixer so i like to get glass or goggles that protect completely ...that you can actually see thru. Dark welding glass are obviously over kill and you cann't see out of them to do any reasonable art work with/bead making /blowing. Just like more opinions as i make a final decision. Thanks for any help. BTW i have some brand called fireworks coe 104 rods but regardless like to cover all the types and coe of glass as i broaden my material spectrum.
what is the coe . I have been working with a hot head but didn't know they sell glass like that. If you could give me a part number for those tubes I would appreciate it thank you
Can you finish these with a glass loop rather than a cutting and putting those cheap metal ends on them? They look so much better with a glass loop. Thanks
Hey there I'm a very big fan of all different glass object mainly my water pipes. I am really interested in how to do this at home would you be able to give me not the cheapest method but a cheap way to start and start learning.

Cmon man, I know that those glasses are some type of didymium and she’s blocking the sodium flare so she can see what she’s doing with the glass. It’s also taking a while because she’s using mapp gas instead of a oxy propane type torch. Works either way, one just takes a lot longer
Hi, I can't seem to get the glass to the "glowing" stage. It certainly starts to move and shrink inward but not glowing enough that I can blow any type of shape. Do you have any suggestions?
+Henry & Teresa Griese You just has to get it hot enough. It sounds like you are getting a portion of it hot enough. A common mistake people make is they lose the heat on part of the tube when they are trying to heat the other part of the tube. It needs to be a "building of heat from the tip through the middle of the tube. No need to go any closer to the pipe(handle) until you get a little more comfortable with the process. The sequence goes: Wave the entire tube in the outer part of the flame for a minute or so to take the chill off so not to thermal shock. (explode) After that start heating about a third of the tube starting at the pointy end. Once this is glowing and slightly moving, move to the center for a few turns but immediately return to the tip for a few turns to prevent the loss of any of the heat that you've already soaked in. This is where a lot of people make their mistake.. The flame isn't wide enough to heat the entire tube all at once so its a building of heat and being careful not to lose any when you move the end out to heat the center.. Hope this helps. It's kind of hard to describe with words.
+Delphi Glass Creativity Center Thank you for the detailed instructions. I was trying to do more of the entire bulb then focusing on building from the tip to the center. I did go too far back as well. Thank you so much!
these may eliminate the need for "pulling time consuming points", but pulling points is an essential skill needed for flameworking tubing. so it's a crutch and a waste of money.
+Hummer Klein Thank you for your feedback. Here is a link to one of our class videos where student made their own glass ornaments. The end of the video show some finished pieces. www.delphiglass.com/video_view?vid=npSHxFaNpYA
+Fester Blats Thank you for the feedback.

Gee.... you would think some of you people would be grateful for her taking the time to make this for you...instead, some of you sit idle at your work benches wishing for fame - which will never come with the attitudes I see here - just wishful thinking and glass artists wannabes.
Thank you for this video. I've always wanted to try making glass ornaments and this product looks like a good way to begin.
would have been nice to see the finished glass

what kind of glass is it?
She knows how to work the tip
Hi. You make it look so easy. I was just wondering how do you get the blow pipe off of the ornament you made?
Use a dermal with diamond cutter
what is the coe . I have been working with a hot head but didn't know they sell glass like that. If you could give me a part number for those tubes I would appreciate it thank you
The glass is 90 CEO
How long does it stay in that machine?
Can you finish these with a glass loop rather than a cutting and putting those cheap metal ends on them? They look so much better with a glass loop. Thanks
if you spin backwards your rotations will be more consistent.
what kind of glass are used in making Cristal figurine like small horses and prism shaped figures
We just posted a video on how to remove the blow pipe from the Glaskolben :)
Thank you Val. How long and at what temperature do you anneal it? Do you teach classes? I'm in LA OC area. Thanks, Jen
1:03 - 1:22 and 3:48 - 4:06 is a "thats what she said" combo marathon.
still nice video.
you sir, deserve a cookie. hahahhahahaa.

Did anyone else laugh when she pulled the glasses out
isn't the glass too hot to touch?
She just had a torch on it so yea
would have been nice to see the finished product . All of these videos DON'T SHOW THE FINISHED PRODUCT .
WHAT'S UP WITH THAT ?
