That little smile at the end when he puts the piece in the oven and the people clap is just so sweet, every time.

I really enjoy watching William. He is incredibly talented and so informative. He seems like a fun guy!

jesus i love watching william, there are tons of great artists featured on cmog they all are. but william is my favorite.

That warm and wonderful smile when he comments "Johnny and I are very good friends, by the way" he surely is, as humble as a child.

he smiles for awhile afterward seeming to continue remembering his friend lovingly giving him the business I doubt sarcasm is a frequent thing with William; if he uses it at all

I have always loved watching glass blowing and working. William is such a great teacher and incredibly talented. Watching him makes me want to learn more and start blowing glass. I live in nc . Wish I was closer to Corning to come see a class live. If someone from Corning museum reads this comment can you tell William that I love his work and he is a very great teacher

Will do; thanks for watching!

I was sweating bullets by the time he finished the Nuremberg goblet , it's so much more advanced than anything I have seen before ,, and as he got around 3/4 of the way , I was thinking to myself that if I was doing this , by now , it would be on it's way to destination FUCKED , this man is a master of his craft . : )

Bill is truly a master and a joy to watch him work. Anyone else in there would just slow him down. Great work!

Such a kind teacher explaining everything in such detail like this; knowing why things are done allows one to be innovative on their own without simply repeating a formula. You don’t hold any knowledge back, it’s heartwarming, thank you ☀️

He is such a captivating teacher I love it!

William is the epitome of poetry in motion, never a waisted move, never wasted words, and always has 100% of my attention.

We love watching Bill at work too! Thanks for watching.

love that this learning tool exists now

Wow! talk about multitasking! Love this guy. Such a pro! One can also see what a kind soul he is in the way he asks his assistant for something and then takes the time to thank him even though he's already multitasking like mad.

It's obvious you know everything about glassblowing, but you are a really wonderful teacher too. The way you combine demonstration and explanation is absolutely captivating. :-)

It would be interesting to film one of these with a thermographic camera.

Awesome. I wish I could be so relaxed while I'm working on a piece.

Wow. This is so impressive, I wish I could learn directly from him!

raymiedc carlo dona, jim moore, steinert glass tools. all can be googled. he may use some others but those are three of the bigger tool companies for hot glass.

Geezzzz... you are so amazing

Like every top level pro, he makes it look so simple, you think you could do it with ease.

I gave it a thumbs up BEFORE I even watched it!!!

please, does anyone know what kind of glory hole/furnace is being used here?

It's a custom piece of equipment we built here. Imagine a small rectangular pot furnace with a tall barrel vault as a crown. The burner comes in the back, circles around the pot, and heats the whole chamber. The chimney is the front port - normally covered by a arched day door made of fiberboard.

I think W.Gudenrath is one of the famous Glass Master in the USA.

good

Why do you let the vessels drop? I've always thought that this could be a bit risky.

Hi, here's the answer from Bill himself: "The ‘dropping’ and spinning are to elongate a mass of glass; usually it’s a bubble. The sometimes scary looking procedure is only perilous when the glass is really hot (soft): then one must be super-careful to avoid having anyone in the path/trajectory, should the glass stretch/elongate more than anticipated. Over my many years in hot shops, I’ve never seen anyone hit by a ‘flier’…but I’ve seen a couple of sort-of close calls!" Thanks for watching!

It's centripetal force; centrifugal force doesn't actually exist

@Exzeteos

The outward force is inertia. Centripetal force is a force toward the axis of rotation that opposes inertia.

Centripetal force is the force toward the pivot of rotation. Centrifugal Force is just a face way of saying inertia, but it still is a term to describe how the inertia behaves when an object is rotating.

YES ITS ABOUT GLASS BLOWING NOT ABOUT MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
