You're welcome 😄. Thanks for the comment.

I love watching your videos. I am in MN and have started playing with glass about 5 years ago. Love trying new things and my favorite things are implosions!

Thanks for the compliment. I try my best to cover everything and make it as clear as possible.

I saw the Fusing Shop is closed since Jan 29 with a statement about not sure if/when will reopen. I hope everything is okay. I took a break from making stuff last couple of years and I am getting back into glass blowing. These videos have always been helpful!

Would you do a tutorial on how to make a honey comb implosion

Thanks Kyle!

I don't have the space for a setup like this so I'm not really here for the tutorial part but I definitely enjoy seeing your creations!

It's so much fun to melt the glass and shape it. You should see if you can find a studio near you.

I do and they offer classes I have thought of taking some

First time watching you work. Great video! I am still only working with 104 as I am a self-taught beginner. The process of learning is long but I'm enjoying it. Is it necessary to use such a thick rod to make a marble?

So is it the kneedles that make the trapped air bubbles in the glass? And then you use the same holes with color to make your pattern for the implosion? It looked awesome to see the flame travel through the glass rod like that. I was watching Corning live do experiments the other day. I seen them using water with their molds and tools. Whats the reason to make a design like cracking? N there plentys were metal rods with class. Im guessing because it's so big of a chunk of glass?

The needles make the indent in the glass and the air is trapped when you apply the glass over the indents. Was the corning video a lampworking video or from a hot shop? Hot shop glassblowers use long steel rods as puntys. Can you link the video you watched here so I can see what they were doing?

Are you using soft glass or boro? Love your marbles. I tried making one the other day. I’m Still learning

Hi Gloria! I only use boro. Soft glass has a much longer working time out of the flame but since I do a lot of scientific glass I need to use boro. Send some pics and I'll feature your work in one of my upcoming videos. yourock@thefusingshop.com

didnt hear you say that you use a hole smaller than your marble for shaping in the mold, that you just want to use the rim for final shaping.

Hi Michael! Yes! You want to use a smaller hole than the marble you are making. You said it perfectly.

Are those huge tweezer made specially for glass? Where can I get some?

@FusingShop

They are not special for glass. Any pair of tweezers will work. Just make sure you don't put them in the flame. You can probably find different sizes are Harbor Freight.
