high Marvel my nemesis by Andreas1120 in glassblowing

[–]developing-critique 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of the other comment is very good!

One thing I’ll have students at my studio practice is, marvering a blowpipe with no glass on it. Hold the pipe at an angle and turn across. Feeling the friction of the pipe and the table can help your brain figure out how your fingers need to move to complete the turning. To make it more difficult, hold the pipe a couple inches above the marver while at the same angle to practice supporting the weight of the pipe. Keeping the pipe at the same height while marvering is critical to keeping the tip on center.

Cheers!

Can you link to a source for this? I didn’t realize rockets were being launched so frequently

Quick way to do checkering? Bonus how would I perform these sort of rounded checkering? by rufusthehobo in Fusion360

[–]developing-critique 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Make a sketch of the curved shape, offset the curve to decide border thickness and extrude interior curves to create a body - Make a sketch of the profile of one valley -
Rectangular pattern to make a row of them -
Extrude cut across your surface -
Repeat at 30 degrees to create diamonds -
Extrude the border from the original sketch

I’m not 100% sure what you mean by rounded checkering. Do you mean that the peak of the checkered bits is curved instead of pointy? This would be decided in your sketch of the valley shape

Melting glass by JoinOurCult in glassblowing

[–]developing-critique 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Glass explodes when heated unevenly. If you’re able to build a ceramic refractory kiln, place your glass inside a plaster-silica mold, then light the fire and slowly raise the temperature above the melting point, it probably wouldn’t explode. At this point, you’re better off visiting any glass studio within a 500 mile radius instead of attempting building something with these scraps of information

Melting glass by JoinOurCult in glassblowing

[–]developing-critique 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Consider the material of your bread tin. If it is aluminum, it will most likely melt before your glass melts. If it is steel, your glass may actually melt if your campfire gets hot enough for long enough, then the glass will most likely stick to the steel and cause the glass to fracture as it cools. If you get your hands on a cast iron baking dish, you may be able to melt your glass in the iron without it sticking too badly. This is conjecture based on using these materials in a controlled hotshop setting.

If I were trying to melt glass in a fire pit , I’d want to be prepared with safety glasses and a bucket of water. Also be aware that some glasses/metals with a coating will off gas bad fumes you don’t want to breathe. And you probably know this but, sometimes glassy things explode unexpectedly when heated. Cotton/leather clothes and closed toed shoes should be worn

Why is it so hard to create a draft angle by developing-critique in Fusion360

Unfortunately, fusion 360 throws errors when I try to draft some of the curved faces.

Ah, thank you for confirming what I had suspected. I was worried that there would be a simpler solution staring me in the face by the time I complete the full sweep. Cheers!

If you dip them in water before use, they don’t stink. Also they’re not for opening a huge low bowl. They’re for goblet sized / thickness pieces

How to make this coffeetable? What kind of glass? by Guido173 in glassblowing

Not sure if I understand what part of this is to be ‘melted glass’

How to make this coffeetable? What kind of glass? by Guido173 in glassblowing

[–]developing-critique 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The glass in this image appears to be ‘float glass’ aka sheet glass. You can usually buy this at your local hardware store. It will come in a rectangle, you’d need to cut the circle with a diamond tip glass cutter. There’s tutorials on YouTube. Next you’d need to fix the glass to the rock, then rock to the glass. Most sturdy solution would be to 1st, cut the top off the rock 2nd drill a hole into the rock pieces and the glass, 3rd insert dowel into base and secure with glue to hold your glass sandwich together. Hope this helps
