I'm feeling grateful. As you can see, there is not a sponsor on this video. Thank you to everyone who supports on Patreon to let me make the kinds of videos I want (like this). www.patreon.com/smartereveryday
It's the many people supporting for a small amount that makes videos like this possible. In this particular video, it took several trips to Cals' shop to make it happen. Check out Cal's work at www.calbreed.com
Be sure to check out the small colored vases on Cal's website. We have bought one for every color of the rainbow and we put flowers from the yard in them. We love them!
Thanks again for supporting on Patreon!
If i could I would support you on patreon and maybe one day I will because I love your videos and the passion you show for the subject and making of the videos
Thanks for always entertaining us while learning these interesting things to us
Was grabbing the uranium an interesting contact?
I think you crashed his website lol
You said supersonic shockwaves, but what I saw was magnetic fields!
Well, he's definitely proud of his work. Neat stuff, but not $1000+ neat.
How to make half an hour fly by 🙌
Hello gav/dan nice to see you here.
Hope to see another collab between you two soon!👀
or melt away :D
These guys know what an aubergine is
G😅
I love how his criticism of his students was always something along the lines of: "We gotta practice that a little more." This guy has an incredible teaching style
See also: Apprentices. There's a slightly different relationship between a "master" (ie. a very skilled professional) and an apprentice, once which is different than teacher and student although it obviously shares some features, too. And, unless I miss my guess, it's not every skilled professional who would consider taking on more than one or two apprentices at the same time, but if that is possible it should tend to have a harmonic effect in terms of how learning happens. In other words, the peer group for 5 people (master and apprentices included) is likely to lead to everyone getting smarter at a faster rate than a group as small as 2 or 3.
The way Cal teaches and learns not just by understanding his and his team's failures, but also by pushing those failures to their limits, all while never being condescending or judgmental, is simply incredible. What a wonderful environment his shop must be if you're truly in love with this craft
tbf, glass blowers are ALL a bunch of stoners, and tend to have really clear headspaces and awareness. Dustin is too much of a jesus square to pick up on that.
Destin, we need more Cal. His mindset on failure is phenomenal and incredibly applicable to anyone regardless of career. Thank you!
This was all so beautiful. The experiment itself, how you presented glasswork, Cal's failure-success philosophy... Thanks, man, this was great.
That last bit about failure Cal was talking about is pretty much spot on for any kind of learned skill. I love painting, but any kind of new technique I learn (blending, shading, medium etc) generally starts with failure and experimentation 🤙
I’ve visited a glass shop before but I never knew about the rubbery plateau and I always wondered how they could keep working the glass outside the furnace. Now I know! Also, seeing the internal stresses using the polarizer was awesome. Great job Destin!
agreed
Looks like you've got a new video idea!
@Leo Staley he doesn’t sound smart
How special relativity makes magnets work ≠ The big misconception about electricity.
Please redo the God's Rod video with stabilizers on the rods this time
3:09 I love these little handwritten safety notes. The fish saying wear safety glasses is great 😂 and "Do not pick up glass from the floor! - it's NOT safe." 😅 perfect for ne who sometimes just forgets that there would be a super heated oven right in front of me. 😂
Yay! I need those notes :D Every time I pick up something hot in workshop XD
Also, "Do not sit on the floor"
19:34 NICE!
These guys just got exponentially better with each attempt!
_Very_ interesting video Destin!
i love seeing art explored through the eyes of an engineer, you have such an enthusiasm for everything
His wife is likely hiding all the glass in their home as we watch this.
We often went to Bornholm (Denmark) on vacation when I was a kid (almost 30 years ago 😭) and there were quite a few open glass workshops where I just loved watching the artisans do their thing. I just remembered how relaxing and beautiful this art is to look at.
As an artist, I really appreciate the way you show the artist process and the intricacies that go into the creation of these pieces. The art you see is the last and sometimes least important part of the puzzle, its all that failure and struggle and teamwork that makes the piece worth it. You capture that feeling and I am so happy you show that
A machine can make glass
Molten glass looks so cool. Not much else radiates visible light while at the same time being transparent.
Repent to Jesus Christ “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?””
John 11:25-26 NIV
h
@Repent and believe in Jesus Christ no u
I'd love to see you play with the stuff :-)
Light bulb?
@Adrian D has a part that's transparent and has a part that produces light that isn't
I never thought I would enjoy glass making this way and this much, and not to mention the whole physics behind it, even the entire process you've all subjected yourself into to get the most perfect cast of Prince Rupert's drop in a glass mold that translates how failures can shape success❤
Destin, thank you for this masterpiece! Cal is an outstanding teacher and his approach to operational efficiency and learning has changed my mindset.
"A great piece is balanced right on the edge of failure and success" -Cal
Print it!
This was one of the BEST slow motion video I have seen to date.
Congratulations guys!!
This was truly fascinating. I learned so much in this that I never even imagined learning. The combination of artistry and science was incredibly rich.
One last question i must ask: Is there a way to see the colors that you saw with the polaroscope without actually needing a polaroscope? Maybe something akin to the polarizing filters? The polarizing filters gave a beautiful effect that was both artistic and educational, but the colors seen with the polaroscope were far more beautiful and educational.
This was definitely one of the best videos you've done. Thank you so much. ❤
Truly amazing piece. A moment frozen in time. Also seeing so many passionate people is so encouraging. Thank you for making this.
I absolutely love the respect you’ve given to the artists in this video.
Good
Nice
Good
niceee
Very good
Fun fact: if you melt off the tail, it still keeps it's properties. So it's essentially a very strong teardrop.
This video just makes me happy. And I got to experience the same wonder of having had no idea about the rubbery plateau either. I loved how on the 2nd cup on the slow cam, it almost looked like there was a 2nd little surge of forward movement milliseconds after the pop that I didn't see on the others. I think just like Cal talked about the fine line between success and failure, there is also that mystery middle ground where scientific experimentation and pure artistry can work so harmoniously. The world needs more people like you and Cal to inspire more people to look for those middle grounds where so much magic happens.
If you do this again, I would LOVE to see the drop-plunge and break thru a polarized lens or something - that would be amazing
This was a phenomenal episode. I was smiling the whole way through. I was learning the whole way through. Another job well done Destin!
I love Cal's thoughts on failure. I've always had a similar outlook, maybe not to his extent, but still retaining the idea that failure is a REALLY good teacher. When I was teaching people in the trim carpentry field i always told the ppl i was teaching, "you are going to mess up, no doubt about it. Don't stress it, instead use it as a tool to figure out what not to do."
I've learned way, waaaaay more by my mistakes than my successes.
That final result looks incredible
SHOULD I DROP OUT OF SCHOOL TO BECOME ONE OF THE BEST ARTISTS EVER?🔥🔥
Yes it's stunning.
Found out funny that aubergine wasn't a known word... It's the UK name for an egg plant (not sure where else says this)
This was phenomenal throughout!
I'm an educator that works between the arts and engineering and this video did an amazing job of reflecting all of the different facets of my work and it allowed me new things on so many levels.
Your graphics were SO GOOD at facilitating the explanations.
The digressions into tangential topics were so natural and they cultivated so much appreciation for the complexity of the work of the glassblowing team.
I was delighted each time you went back to the studio to learn something new and different. And I really appreciate the time you took to show the process and the coordination of the team, as well as how deep you got into the failure discussion with Cal. It would have been so easy to cut those parts or to not prepare to capture those moments, but those were the most important to make me feel like I was there learning in person.
If I were a billionaire I would definitely buy myself the world's coolest $100,000 paperweight.
$1000 tops
@juanballe07 look again! The amount they want for them is eye watering!
I’d put a light on top n make it my bed room light lol
@juanballe07an amethyst tea cup is like 500 so idk.. considering how geeked out they were over this whole thing .. even tho it’s glass .. 1k sounds about right
That's the difference between science and "art" - a factor of 10x or more!
This is one of my absolute favorite things you have done to date! Science and art together! And it is beyond epic!
Hello Destin we love your series on the Prince Ruperts drop!!!
The best one was when the drop was shot and it lighted up!!! 🔥🔥🔥✨✨✨
High quality photos of those glass pieces through various types of lenses and scopes would make an amazing album.
The whole thing looks almost organic, and also like something out in space. Incredible and beautiful.
Big thanks to Cal and his team. This was just amazing!
Awesome video man. It was so cool to see Cal and his team working together. I’m always being exposed to and learning about new things when I watch your videos. This is why I love your channel so much. Keep up the good work Destin!
Super cool! Good job Cal and crew! Nice job Dustin for sharing this talent that Cal and crew have.
Cal's team is amazing, there is so much going on in their intuition that I wish I had! I make new types of microchips, and their techniques just taught me so much about it! (We use a few different types of "glasses" - SiO2, Si3N4, Al2O3, ZnO, to name a few.) Wonderful video. I could watch another hour on the PRD and another on why Cal's team does the steps they do. I want a PRD19-4 with polarizers attached.
Evaluating art is always a difficult task...if not impossible!! I love the way you never stop "exploring"!!!
I really enjoyed Cal's perspective on failure. The use of failure as way to experiment and learn even though the piece isn't what he wanted it to be. It's a really smart idea.
The school of hard knocks is always the best teacher.
Engineering meets art. Or is it art meeting engineering?
I always try to learn from my mistakes, but this is a completely different and brilliant way of looking at it.
This is true in engineering, too. Cal's perspective is the difference between people who are "paper experts" and people that you ask something and they casually give you the expert answer. A lot of people walk away from failures to start over ASAP. But good companies give their employees room to fail and explore those failures. So often, there are very important lessons in failures. This is why you see a lot of software teams hiring "chaos engineers" to purposely come break things in the infrastructure. "What happens when we hack this? What happens if our backup is shut down? What if ... what if ... what if ... ?" You can explore those questions "for free" when you are post-failure, but too many companies see this as a waste of time. They are thinking only about the deadline and getting the project complete with this "new setback," but knowledge lost to exploring "what went wrong" can prove to be much, much more valuable in the long run.
In a case like this, why would you want to quit? You can't do anything else but watch and see what happens, makes total sense to me from this aspect but that is unrealistic in every case scenario in life. Dumb actually!
This is my favorite episode ever, Destin! This is AMAZING!
Love everything about this! You and Cal are great minds and I loved watching the two come together to make something beautiful. You too made me smarter, thank you
I wish Destin was a professor of mine. So easy to learn and follow along. Never in a million years did I think this topic would be so fascinating. Glad I watched.
I had a question for you, Dustin. Have you ever learn about Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy? It would be supper fun to listen to you explain the science behind that. I am currently getting my PhD in chemistry right now and I am specializing in NMR spectroscopy.
Everything about this video is beautiful. From the science to the glass making process and teamwork, the end results, and the life advice given at the end. It's very beautiful!!
Really love the way cal runs his shop. Very focused and serious, making sure all the apprentices understand the safety aspects. But at the same time he was never rude, never belittling. He's the kind of teacher that you know knows his stuff, but you're not scared of him, you're scared to disappoint him.
This video was so worth the time spent watching it. It's inspiring to me as an artist, but also just as a person. Thank you.
The way that the whole team of people work together throughout the whole process is truly incredible, and you can see that each of them is so nervous at the beginning but over time they get more comfortable and fluid with everything and it's so cool to watch. Not to mention how incredible the finished pieces are, and even the semi-finished pieces and the mess-ups along the way! They are all masters in their field and still learning and so excited about every bit of it, and thank you Destin for showing that to us. Keep making cool videos like this one!
This is a awesome video! we some times focus to much on progress and we often forget the source of the inspiration and when people finally see the result it always leave people speechless of its beauty. i am happy there are still people striving to create new form of amazing art every day. keep it up guys.
Thanks for continuing making good and meaningful content, we need more of this this days.
It's been a few years since I watched your videos consistantly, ive since become an adult and learned alot about life but it's wonderful revisiting your videos and seeing your passion for learning keep on making amazing videos, thank you!
I love how calm Cal is while also giving important feedback. Must be nice to learn under his guidance.
@Sylv0 What's going on here ?
One can report that user on their profile but for some reason I can't do it. When I enter the impersonated channel's url, it says that the channel doesn't exist. It's so frustrating.
It's amazing to see the power of molten glass and how it reacts with Prince Rupert's Drop. The slow-motion footage really captures the intricate details of the experiment and shows the incredible amount of force and energy involved. This video is a great example of how science can be both educational and entertaining. Keep up the great work!
Love this. Can Rupert's drops be made out of other materials? Love the association with space thing with supersonic trails... Kinda looks like creatures from Star Wars... pergols (sp?) travelling through hyperspace. Be cool if they could get multiple drops arranged to be like the fins.
"Let's mess up as much as possible."
I get Cal's point that perfection isn't always ideal since we might feel like we are missing out on what other possibilities are available to us and also about how optimizing our learning time is important. I also know that great art comes from knowing when and how to put imperfections to our advantage and making something greater than perfectionist methods would have allowed us to do.
What a truly amazing blend of art, science, pure talent and human curiosity. Thank you for making this video!
Wondering if this is something you might explore one day: try quenching the drop in oil vs water and testing the durability between the two. Prince Rupert’s drops quenched in oil seem stronger and less likely to shatter. I would love your thoughts on why. Also wondering if it could withstand a bullet entirely, tail wiggling and all.
The way Cal speaks about the fine balance of success and failure is an amazing headspace.
Reminds me of an old quote I heard “The line of demarcation between failure and success is so thin we often do not know where one ends and the other begins”
@House Capital That is a quote I have not heard before but it is one worth remembering.
@Moondoggie Its from Napoleon Hill
@House Capital Thank you for letting me know.
It reminds me of playing the old Super Mario Bros game for the first time. Once you beat level 1-1, you move on to level 1-2. If you run out of lives on level 1-2, you have to go back and play through level 1-1 again!
Cal is somewhat of a philosopher with his take on failure and success. Loved this video.
This was brilliant. I learned a lot more than I expected. Just curious, have you ever tried using ballistics gel for this?
I watched your first prince ruperts drop video all those years ago and was so amazed at what they could make that I bought one of their vases for my mom. She still has it to this day and it is just such an amazing piece. People are still blown away by it the first time they see it.
That didn't felt like half an hour, this video is truly just fascinating
You have produced another mind expanding video. I wonder if it is possible to capture in glass, or some other physical media, the further shattering of the Prince Rupert’s drop. What Cal did was impressive, but the PR drop didn’t expand in the molten glass beyond the instant that it shattered.
It was this channel that helped me decide to quit my job and go back to school in my mid 30s. Best decision I ever made. Graduated 5 years ago and that degree has helped me so much. Just needed this motivation
Thank you for taking the time to share this, it is wonderful to read and I hope it goes onto inspire others
How did you live without a job?
@TJ the ever important question
Well done mate, congratulations on your achievement and best wishes for your future endeavours...
What did you study?
Destin, your enthusiasm for learning new things is intoxicating! If I could learn half the things you have forgotten I would be smarter every day.
That is so amazing! I'd definitely buy something like that, but even the glass team, I mean, what a cool boss to work for!
I was and still always big fan of glass artwork; but this experiment is on next level !!
Brilliant Channel Destin, just brilliant.
When MAJOR global TV networks can't even master rebooting 40 year old shows, you and you colleagues make repeatable entertaining, educational and truly fascinating viewing.
The science and discovery in this is amazing but the very end of this video, the marbles closeups, gave me a visceral nostalgia that I’m now thankful for!
When I finish a Smarter Every Day video, I feel like a different person, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This channel is one of the last bastions of wholesome, educational, and transformative content on CZcams. These videos remind me that there's much good in the world. Thank you very much for the work you do Destin.
Dude yes, those are the perfect words for it🙏🏻🙏🏻
I would argue, that you haven't looked far enough yet.
@FIGHTTHECABLE there are indeed many other incredible channels, yes, i agree 100%.
@FIGHTTHECABLE yeah well im not saying that new great channels stopped popping up. but if you think about the last couple of years though, esp with shorts and how recent creators would optimize for the algorithm or use shock and psychological tricks to garner attention, you get a bleaker picture of the platform as a whole. A different archetype of content gets rewarded more, and it becomes harder to find channels like this one.
Repent to Jesus Christ “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?””
John 11:25-26 NIV

Super interesting as always. And really love the "failure attitude". This should also be treated with more respect in scientific papers etc. - This IS science. 👍🏼
Yum! Simply delicious on so many levels! Thanks Dustin, and Cal, and everyone involved making this video.
I love that whenever there's another chapter to this Prince Rupert's Drop story I get to watch all of them over again like a movie. Cheers! 🍿
I love the concept of, “if I’m going to fail, fail all the way.” Reminds me of the Mythbusters, where their motto was “failure is always an option.” We learn so much from failing. We shouldn’t be afraid to fail, that’s where true knowledge comes from.
Hey destin!
It's always great to watch your videos. Keep it up!
I thought you could do a slow mo video showing a microscopic view of friction. That would be pretty cool and we might learn something, cause as you already know you get smarter everyday!
Cal is an amazing artisan. His patience, knowledge, and positivity are extraordinary.
I agree. Eric, Jill and the rest who work with him are extremely good team mates. I'm impressed with their ability to all give each other negative feedback in a constructive way. We could all learn from their example.
You should try torching off the tail of the drop and seeing how much more durable it is :)
This was a great video with lots of lessons, but I'm not sure exactly what I learned about Prince Rupert's drops except it's harder to make them with colored glass.
this is such an amazing, fun, educative content. this is very explanatory and shows how things are done.. wow this is really a great and amazing.
When you begin learning much more through your failures than your successes, you’re beginning to truly understand the medium in which you’re working in.
This in particular is as beautiful as it is fascinating. 👍🏼
Every single bit of visualisation in this video was top tier, aides the explanations perfectly
11:45 - working with hot molten glass in your shorts and T short. Now that's confidence !
It's the same with molten metal. This stuff is that hot, that it will not be able to touch your bare skin due to the Leidenfrost-Effect. If molten glass / metal hits your cloths they will catch on fire and burn you badly.
Ideally you would work butt naked just with gloves and protection googles on. But CZcams would not allow that. And I may think his apprentices would also have something to say about that.
@NineSun we only saw the filmed part ^^
@NineSun Wow! thanks for enlightening me. I'm becoming smarter everyday !
@NineSun That's not true. I've been burned multiple times from hot glass. There isn't enough oil on your skin to withstand more than a split second of contact. And we wear cotton clothing, not synthetic, because it doesn't melt or catch fire easily. I've got more shirts with tiny burn holes in them than I can count. Not sure where you're getting your information.
@NineSun don't spread misinformation
I'd love to see a video on - brass brazing, stick, mig and tig welding. Great video Destin
I kind of hope that someone will spend the $100,000 after watching this video. Fascinating as always Destin, thank you for making me smarter every day.
Prince Rupert’s Drops and Laminar flow are two of my favorite recurring “characters” on this channel 😁
i absolutely LOVE your Drop videos!!
...ALL OF THEM!!. they are so much fun to watch.
thank you so very much for making these prince drop videos!! i love watching them explode like that LoL.
putting it in hot glass makes sense why it wasnt breaking properly, its getting soft fast and the pressure or the hot glass was keeping it in tact.
i liked seeing that one Self Heal.
the only other thing to do would be to wait a while longer for the molten glass to cool before you put the Drop in it so it wouldnt heat up and get soft... but i love these videos!!
Thank You!!
I love Destin's infectious enthusiasm and ability to explain complex topics in a clear and engaging way. I admire how Destin guides his interactions with kindness, empathy, and eagerness to learn. We can all stand to learn something from people like Destin who put aside personal differences and instead choose to focus on human connection. There's something truly special about this channel.
He's a true rare gem, and worthy of the term role model. This world needs more Destins.
These are words Destin himself would use if he came across his channel from another dimension.
This video with Cal was amazing. Didn’t think glass would catch my attention, but dang I enjoyed it start to finish. Love the final product!
Hi destin, i'm a huge fan of your content. Ever since I watched your first Prince Rupert's Drop video I had a question: what would happen if you just melted the tail of the drop off. Would it make it invincible or would it shatter, etc.
Destin, been watching you for years. This is your best video to date. Thank you for what you do.
Cal seems like such an amazing teacher who wants to see his students succeed. He also has a very neat perspective on learning and making mistakes.
This episode was far more than working with glass!!💯 Thanks Destin!👏👏
Cal's expectation of perfection and learning through failure is really commendable. My jaw literally dropped when you showed how they make the drinking glass. Just incredible.
Destin, thanks for yet another amazing video. I was excited to watch the entire process; however, I believe at 20:03 you missed a great opportunity to emphasize Cal's perspective when he said the glass was "healing". It's awesome to see the process through Cal's eyes and imagine the molten glass enveloping the shattered glass and healing it by filling the voids!
I love your videos very well made and informative!
That was absolutely fascinating! The glass artist has the best attitude towards failure I've ever heard. Brilliant!
His crew makes me think of something from a book, truly masters at work such an amazing video
Just checked the website. How incredible is it to know that the original of this seen made here is $100,000? Where I am in no way one who buys fine art I can completely see how someone would spend that kind of money for this beautiful piece when they team behind it is so talented and seems so down to Earth.
I absolutely love the respect you’ve given to the artists in this video. Bridging the gap between engineering and artistry is a wonderful thing 🎉
It still amazes me how much molten glass looks and acts like molten candy
thanks for venturing that much into art on this one ❤
Very well made video, very interesting, i didnt even realise it was half an hour until it ended. Keep up the good work man!
This episode has been absolutely phenomenal indeed. 🙂 Absolutely!
