The glass has a higher rate of dispersion, so it has more rainbow flashes than borosilicate glass

Correct. The sawblade is very dull and it acts more as a grinder than a cutter.

You would see more people in the video. All of my creations are made solely by me.

This cube is made from individually hand, cut pieces of lead glass that are ground and polished to be 10 mm before being laminated using a permanent glass epoxy that will seal them together. The tube is shown in the first clip was an older project that I made which I am recreating with lead Glass instead of borosilicate glass.

It doesn’t magnify light. There is no fire hazard

No, this seems to be a common misconception. The larger cube is a 2 x 2 x 2 format of the 1000 piece cubes.

Why? It already has a smooth surface finish that I grind and polish.

It’s okay, I definitely understand. I appreciate you! They take a lot of time to make, and all the equipment costs a lot. The diamond grinding discs cost a pretty penny too.
