Thanks! Helpful, excited to get back in the hot shop to practice
The reason this came up is because I acquire a bunch of tubes that have threads on the end like the air freshers back in the 80's
Can you make a video on gathering? Your videos are amazing.
Thanks for the compliment on the videos and your interest in gathering! I actually made a 3 part mini-series course on gathering (and also on how to marver) that are available on the www.GlassblowersGuide.com website!
I've heard it fair that you can make a pipe blow itself .,.. Capping send to be why at they're taking about, but they claim that if I sell the end (mouth piece) then heat the other end the pipe will be the bubble in it's own...... From what I just learned from you it seems possible but their faces seem to be a bit off ?
Theoretically I suppose it’s possible to just cap and then heat the heck out of the pipe enough that air in the pipe heats up and expands into a starter bubble… but practically, you’re really gonna want to put a little puff in there first for a whole bunch of reasons.
