Back on the Torch: A Photo Story

<p><img src="https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/20046536_448048945573802_2383218003405609418_n.jpg?oh=51486a936579274846eabd8ccf9aa624&amp;oe=5A0EFCC2" width="960" height="640"/></p>
<p>Due to many factors, I haven't been doing much glassblowing since the conference. &nbsp;I've been making a point the last few days to make at least a little time to blow glass and I've managed to do so with okay results. &nbsp;Anyone that's tried to blow glass knows that learning how to do a good job at it isn't easy. &nbsp;There are days where you end up with only burns and broken glass and I had a few too many of those in a row, to be honest. &nbsp;It can be discouraging to a new person but like anything good in life, it takes a lot of work to get anywhere with it.</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/20108446_448048808907149_1389411841548783217_n.jpg?oh=bb19815d28f0466f9d3a009ad1dc03d8&amp;oe=5A0736D9" width="960" height="640"/></p>
<p>Introducing, my improvised homemade setup. &nbsp;The fuzzy box is a kiln without a case.&nbsp;</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/20228508_448048805573816_7474108241760856121_n.jpg?oh=3333a8548d36d977a7d35d44d044c5f3&amp;oe=59FA4648" width="960" height="640"/></p>
<p>And Fisher awakens, this is what I've named my Fisher scientific burner. The pilot light and paddles are unique features not common to glassblowing torches anymore.</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/20139675_448048802240483_2204100335905869904_n.jpg?oh=9eb018e428669f0b983ed929d21759f9&amp;oe=5A013AB4" width="960" height="640"/></p>
<p>This is just the small pre-mix centerfire. &nbsp;This torch is actually two in one, a pre-mix center and a surface mix outerfire. &nbsp;Premix just means it mixes inside the torch, surface mix means it mixes outside.</p>
<p><img src="https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/20155909_448048882240475_7393571449476000963_n.jpg?oh=0cbb5967d4b0292640cc8ff08d997247&amp;oe=5A03B9E3" width="960" height="640"/></p>
<p>Just the propane on the big surface mix...<img src="https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/20106554_448048892240474_6542346512406393885_n.jpg?oh=3569b1c9b6d6042a0ec4de028d6ef080&amp;oe=59F724F7" width="960" height="640"/></p>
<p>Add oxygen and it looks like this!</p>

<p>Nearly finished pipe. Check out that joint, it's the mark of a new glassblower. &nbsp;That is NOT ideal.</p>

Nice. I taught myself the basics on a Victor rosebud welding tip and torch. Used that for a good year and a half before I got my Redmax. I haven't blown glass in a while and really want to get back on it. Every time I do I remember how much I like it. I started out on pipes but then moved to jewelry. Tooooooo many pipe artists out there to try and stand out or do anything really unique. The same can be said for the glass jewelry side as well but I find it to have a wider audience than pipes. At least until legalization has started happening.

I decided to move to a place where there was no glass market yet, so that's partially why I'm here in Mexico.  There are crazy tarriffs on goods from china especially glass so Mexicans are incentived to produce here, and that's what were seeing starting here now.  If I wanted I could be working all day every day on prodo work and still never get through the orders.

Damn! nice opportunity for sure!  The glass supply has steadily increased over the last 15 years so there are more producers of stock color rod and tubing now in the US. I still have a massive stock of glass, far too much really, all just waiting to be made into something. I really could use an oxy concentrator/generator  that puts out 5L+ since it blows having to rent cylinders and roll tanks. Propane is what it is, but the oxy is always a pain in my ass.
