I've been here and watched it. Bad time to go is mid summer, no air conditioning. Can you imagine how hot all this gets, these guys don't get paid enough in the summer! They do have gorgeous glass!!
I grew up in Kokomo and did not know the glass plant was just down the street from the High School. Now 60 years later, I live in Florida, buy their glass and do stained glass art pieces.
Actually yes, it is talent. A, they are not "Random colors" They have actual designs and motifs they are making. B, they way he folds it, how much he folds it, in what direction, and where they place the colored glass are all very key to achieve the desired effect. C, even the way they have to juggle the glass in the ladles to keep it from sticking, and perfectly time their approaches, and placements are all things that take talent to perform while working towards a desired effect.
how come one guy uses a little ladle and one guy uses a big one? is the stuff in the smaller ladle a different type of glass? or can little ladle guy just not lift as much?
Probably just a stiffer color. Different coloring agents change the melt characteristics. At the same temperature, a cobalt blue may be as runny as honey, while an opaque white more like peanut butter or wall paste.
Robert Moser first of all a color can't be stiff, second it's a different texture because he's the last to run over to the pile and it hardens. That's why everyone is running.
It looks like there are 3 sizes of laddles and they switch laddles for each run, each taking turns carrying the heaving one. Probably to keep any 1 worker from getting worn out too quickly.
Why are there three sized ladles and always one substance in a different color? also why do they stretch the different colored one which is on top a bit?
the fact that this video shows the process 3 times without showing the final product makes my head explode.
Amazing and very fascinating. Much respect to all the folks who do this labor intensive work

Astonished what a coordination ... my respects to these laborers.
Molten Metals and Glass are just so mesmerising to watch.
Is it just me or does this woman sound like every middle school art teacher ever?

That was awesome, i could watch that all day if there was more video.
Real glass sheet making video. Thanks for sharing.
I don't think the furnace was far enough away from the table. It should be 4 hops, 6 skips and 5 jumps.
Seriously, and make it like American Gladiator with the Tableman trying to stop them from getting there.
Cori Roberts hahahahahahaahaha
😂
this looks awesome.
It's like death taffy.
Tastes like burning.
Taste fire

Thanks for this video, it's very interesting!
breathtaking
THAT.IS.SO.COOOOOOL
Greetings from Poland to all hard working people from this movie.
Does KOG give classes on rolling sheet glass? i am very interested
Awesome!
I would be so tempted to eat it , it looks like sweets b4 there made
i could look at them doing this all day...
Real men making actual stuff. Cool.
I am amazed
Thats so badass
Amazing..
SO cool to get to watch this. What is being added from the small pot?
oh, that makes sense. thank you!
running with molten glass seems like a bad idea
+Toke Holsting why ? you cant break it.
+Toke Holsting I think he had a pair of scissors in his pocket for good luck
+thymark What if it splashes back onto you? Or you trip and land face first in the ladle?
Best to live in the land of NOW. So much negativity in the land of IF!
...and that's how people accidentally discovered how to have complexion as smooth as glass.
I found this to be very interesting
that looks to epic
Wow is amazing
really good video
I love how the biggest looking dude only dumped a tiny ladle of slag
Does someone know what is the board that the glass stops on before it goes into the annealing?
What do they use for fire? Natural gas or any other things?
Redditor here! Am I the only one who got hungry from this video?
- Trilby McTip, Euphoric Redditor and Brony
They run with the hot glass!!
wold be nice to see result...was waiting for it but interupus
What is the darker glob that they mix into the glass ?
Could you tell me the temperature of the highest how many degrees?
Arrrgh so annoying that they didn't show us what they are actually making!! :)
woow, that's nice
I completely agree! I did find the answer though. czcams.com/video/kMmv8ZpXsI8/video.html
it would be nice to see a finished product maybe.
how come one guy uses a little ladle and one guy uses a big one? is the stuff in the smaller ladle a different type of glass? or can little ladle guy just not lift as much?
I need exactly of this furnace please help me
Who supplies this machinery/furnace etc
That molten glass is really doing it for me.
*****
what of it? Nah it's just very enthralling.
*****
I was... this shit is faptastic.
same here :)
Its like... putty/dough of hell fire
Wonder why the roller is so far away from the kilns?
This video game Me euphoria,I can't get enough of the narrators voice, the voice of an Angel.
Thanks Reddit for bringing me here.
safety and comfort of the guy rolling the glass
How is glass made super smooth?
float glass is super smooth.. this is glass that is sold for its defects
Is there an easy way to make glass
The narrator reminded me of a 2nd grade teacher,with a hangover.
It looks so tasty XD
Why are the rollers so far from the crucibles ?
What's the final output product?
Back when I did this, no one would believe me when I told them about it.
It is colored glass?
It's vary satisfying
+abobjenkins yeeesss
I don't even know good
I may be wrong, but I think they are mixing two types together. I can't imagine how heavy this stuff is.
the glowing dough...
What's with the last ladle full? Is it just cooler glass cause it looks different?
Probably just a stiffer color. Different coloring agents change the melt characteristics. At the same temperature, a cobalt blue may be as runny as honey, while an opaque white more like peanut butter or wall paste.
Robert Moser first of all a color can't be stiff, second it's a different texture because he's the last to run over to the pile and it hardens. That's why everyone is running.
1:33 what did the skinnier guy put on top of the molten glass? some sort of coloring?
Hartlock More molten glass. A smaller mass probably cools off quicker than the big scoops the other guys were putting down.
It looks like there are 3 sizes of laddles and they switch laddles for each run, each taking turns carrying the heaving one. Probably to keep any 1 worker from getting worn out too quickly.
What is the name of machine?
My god, the ideal job for paul bernardo
Also, one should recognize the immense radiant heat that comes off of molten glass. You can easily burn yourself without coming closer than 2 feet.
ilk defa böyle bir uygulama görüyorum hayranlıkla izledim
I want those cricubales , the rolling machines for glass urgent give your contact
Wow
this looks like the exact same foundry(?) that was on How its made o-O
+Yoachan You are correct, we were showcased on How It's Made for our opalescent glass production!
+kogvideo where are you located???
Kokomo, Indiana
exactly
wow
The way they carry the molten glass and the distance they have to carry it seems really dangerous. I hope they're paid well!
Why are there three sized ladles and always one substance in a different color? also why do they stretch the different colored one which is on top a bit?
the commentator says each crucible holds a different colour...
What roller material can withstand such a high temperature for so long without forming an oxide that flakes off? Maybe it's graphite?
It's just cold rolled steel but it's either water or air colled.
it's probably stainless steel with a cooling system.. the rollers are probably replaced at intervals if they get warped or pitted
this is no job for a lad
there goes my dream of being a glass
ladle carrier
Melted silica put where after mixing table
Why some scoops bigger then others
why not move the rolling machine closer to the ovens?
what was being added in the smaller portions?
Looks to be a scoop of colored glass. That's probably why he was mixing before he put it through the rollers.
it is like molten sugar for candies - only a little bit hotter
I bet those guys have pretty strong arms.
T'IS A JOB FOR A MAAAAAAAN!!
Just melt sand in a furnace and use a workbench if you want glass panes :P
Cant expect him to do all the work.. hes not a pack horse
I was watching a queen video 2 hours ago...how did I end up here?
'
drop scoop melty glass on the metal sheet is looking alike a PANCAKE
👍
The guy who brings color go promoted. and you know that story where his farther worked there, where his farther worked where his farther worked.
you could manufacture glasses
amazing! what is the liquid that was dumped by a small scooper, after adding chunk of liquid glass??
Coloring?
your Asian...don't ask questions... you should know everything...you doctor yet? talk to me when you doctor...!
yummy!
Such a big guy for such a tiny amount of glass at 0:43 hehe!
The guy running with the material. Dangerous job.
Click their channel link and watch the following videos on Annealing, Trimming and Storage of glass.
Never run with scissors, but running with molten glass is perfectly fine! Lol,
i would love to invent gloves that would allow you to handle molten glass.
wait a little, it will be.
Have nice
Welcome to the glass pizzeria
we make shiny pizza
Strange. Interesting.
