Amazing Process of Cutting Gigantic Volcanic Glass to Make Crystal Balls

In this episode on Tekniq, let us observe the mesmerizing process of developing a ball-shaped showpiece from glass and various other shapes from Himalayan salt.

All that glass dust and so few respirators. No ear protection in sight. Open, spinning cutting wheels with no guards for fingers, feet, knees. The skill is amazing. The conditions are criminal.

The grinding process for those spheres is impressively terrifying to watch.

Why wouldn't you want to sell slabs of these? Desks, tables etc....

[@dudamack]

This is simply glass, not volcanic.

I thought he was cutting apart a giant fish.

No safety equipment, no gloves, no eye protection, or respirator. Health problems?? Bet they only make a few dollars a day.

[@carlosalbertosalazarporras6409]

The safety regulations are fantastic!!! 😝

[@GeorgiaGrowGuy]

Can you imagine the particles they are breathing in?

[@strykenine7902]

This looks extremely, impeccably, absolutely safe.

That's a lot of hard and dangerous work. The worker is putting a great amount of force shaping the glass. One slip and it could result in life threatening injuries. Beautiful results with the spheres but dangerous working conditions.

For me the process start to finish of the rice-paper making was so amazing, I had no idea it took that many to work the sheets, or that when drying that it is peeled away like that per layer.

The size of the hand laid paper sheets? Is simply amazing!

The massive paper making is incredible!

Respect for the workers in performing this hard and dangerous work.

When I first saw the picture, I thought I was looking at raw flesh of some sort. The glass is really beautiful 🤩

[@JimDog794]

I worked a production job for many years. Machinery working at high speeds. It's fun to look at such labor intensive jobs these folks are doing. Truly amazing hand made products.

Makes you appreciate these items even more. I will not ever gripe about the price of these types of items again.
