Very interesting Peter. Nice find.

I wonder how long it took him to learn working glass. I see he goes through three stages in working the glass. A preheat, heat to form it and then a tempering. He also put's it in, what looks like an electric kiln.

Still very amazing to watch. Seems like he has quite a workshop to from the last bit of his video were it shows him working on the mill.

I have been watching that video for a couple of years now. That guy just blows me away with his talent. Thanks for bringing that one back to the front.

Very cool.... Got to work glass well to stop the cracks  :thumbup:  I know that from my glass scorpion.... Cracked through the centre and because it wasn't heat treated (now super glued!!)

A lot of tooling and patience I'm sure!  :bugeye:



Where's Darren....? This should be right up his street shoudn't it?

Darren:
Hi Ralph.

Yes fascinating video, the guys got some talent. I was quite impressed the first time I saw it, before |I knew much about valves.

That reminds me, I've a valve amp project on the go somewhere. I must get back to it sometime... :thumbup:
