It’s just great to see young people keeping up an ancient skill and trade like glass blowing .
I worked with glass for a short time. It's really a craft you need to learn for several years, I think. Molten glass has a consistency unlike anything else, one really needs to develop a feel for it.
I could watch stuff like this all day long!
This is absolutely fascinating. Great viewing.
I enjoyed watching the glass blower at work...it is like watching absolute magic ( with a
Purpose ) .
What a beautiful piece!!!!
That restore is gorgeous!
She probably could have found someone with an idea about removing the putty but someone destroyed the yellow pages
She has obviously never heard of a dremel....could have removed the old putty in minutes rather than hacking with a chisel.
0:20 and 0:27
Wow, she can change quickly!
And then after that she`s changed back!
It's like she stripped off the shirt and replaced it while walking along the street.
That is incredibly hard work for both trades. Most definitely a “mission impossible”. If your paid to spend all the time in the world to fix that globe then life is no problem. But if your trying to do it on a budget, you end up working for $2/hr. Being an autobody man, I know how much time and patience you need to work metal and then working autobody filler as needed. I can’t imagine how much time both trades spent rebuilding that globe. I have a lot of patience, but not as much as required to do that job. I’m guessing 50-75 hours went into fixing that mess, between both parties. That’s one expensive light, ouch😄 Came out really nice I think👍 Those are some seriously talented, skilled and patient People 😊
I would have used a Dremel on that rock hard putty
Just a great video, please keep posting content like this !!
Very skilled work and a great result.
F A N T A S T I C O...Que trabalho maravilhoso a restauração e o trabalho do vidro amei mais Kë tüüüdööö o cara é a moça são gênio uma alquimia. Ou melhor um bálsamo na alma assistir a transformação parabéns
cut off just when the glass blowing was completing. how did they get the globe inside the frame?

....the glass bubble that was blown and shaped in the mould would have been cut as individual panels to fit into the globe shaped metal frame - as was the original.
@@geoffdundee Too bad that wasn't on the video. Can't imagine how it was done on a globe.
@@brozbro ......when you look at the mould.........the panel for the shape of globe insert (panel) is white (thats the main surface inside the mould...) like a segment from an orange....after it was blown to fill that shape it wouldve been cut and fitted into metal frame- "as the original was" ie;putty inbetween sections.........there are time constraints with any tv series and alot of editing has to be done...most ends on the cutting room floor as they say
@@geoffdundee I understand all that. I've seen many glass blowing videos. I've seen many glass cutting videos. I've never seen a blown glass globe cut into sections. I can't even picture how that is done. Simply saying "it wouldve been cut and fitted into metal frame" is a useless over-simplification.
@@brozbro .....the originals were cut and fitted into the frame with putty........how can it be an over simplification to say that a similar process was used to make and fit the replacement panels?
wow so beautiful. this is so amazing
Absolutely brilliant 🖤👏🏻🖤👏🏻🖤👏🏻🖤👏🏻🖤
Best restoration excellent 👌 🙌
why didn’t she use a dremel with a brass knarl to remove the putty, it wouldn’t damage the metal frame.
1:30 ops, It began in the 19th century and by the 1860's it was fashionable lol
the 1860s are in the 19th century....
@@bobstirling6885 True.
They real artists!
I have a very old brass lamp that's was passed down to me by my dad. However when i was small i broke the glass. I wished i could get someone to make me a new lamp glass. 😔
Found this one to be a bit pants - when he turned the light on it got darker in the room I think 😂
Gorgeous.
wowwwwwwwwwwwww...beautiful.
Fascinating!!!!!
Wow.
Wasn't the original glass clearer?
How do you replace the bulb? No mention of a door. Does the top come off somehow? They edit out too much, if this was in the original.
You can see the door at 8:56.....
ça gaz! 😉👍🇫🇷
In the beginning she said “no cracks”, but as she’s working on the glass, obviously there are cracks
SO WHAT????????
Yeah because she broke them 😂
She was referring to the metal
You put that in a steam box that glass and putty will just fall out what restoration expert don’t no this 😂
Woman don’t expect any help on a Tuesday 😝
I make things like this all the time, but no one likes them. Maybe one day people will appreciate my work...
Hi there!! Where do you sell your wares??? Would love to see it!!!!
