It’s amazing to hear his story bc my daughter is 12 and has bin on the torch now for a few weeks and I think she’s 😅 married already to her station ❤❤

One of the best teachers of lampworking ever. The way he explains the process while demoing pitfalls and inefficiency is what makes his way THE way. Hope he’s getting paid residuals for these videos. A new series with better quality video and editing would be primo.

What a fantastic teacher, he'll screw something up to show you how doing something one way doesn't work, then show you how doing it a different way makes it turn out right. And back it up with a story about how he learned that move the hard way when he was young and starting with glass.

Yeah, I appreciated him showing the wrong way

Blown Away pulled my interest in glass, and I have setup my own studio now! I have been a wood turning artist for a few years, and I love glass now just as much! THANK YOU for the videos!

curious question, is Santini using CoE104 or CoE33? If 104, where could i find tubing? Its been a mystery for me here in the States. Great stuff as usual!

[@mrj.skunkwerx7634]

Based soley on the timing its taking to become maliabe hes using Borosilicate coe 33.. but if you want to find some 104 tubing to play with there are a few options if you search "104 coe tubing" in whatever search engine you wish.. I was instantly able to find sources on google and bing

I'm never buying anything from sales ads
CZcams was much better before google bought them. Borrowed phone

What is with the slow calm talking like we're children on a tour of a museum. Speak with confidence and knowledge.
