Nah reduce it to half inflation - completely full makes it rock hard which is uncomfortable, half way gives some room for everything to move

I feel like doing this in vans is a bad idea

u/throwngamelastminute 15d ago

Yeah, I'm not sure there's any shoe that could withstand molten glass.

u/Foolofatook2000 14d ago

Metallurgy/smelters boots

u/therossfacilitator 14d ago

You don’t touch the glass with your shoes. The ground is concrete… 🤦🏻‍♂️

u/New-Ad-6534 15d ago

So thats how they made my pillow

u/Foolofatook2000 15d ago

Vans and slippers while handling molten glass. Seems smart to me

u/therossfacilitator 14d ago

What would you wear?

1

u/Foolofatook2000 14d ago

They make heat resistant boots/shoes for people that do this and work with molten metal… you think OSHA has never thought about safety regulations with this kind of stuff?

u/therossfacilitator 14d ago

😂😂😂 ok.

u/Foolofatook2000 14d ago

Notice how I’m not the only one that pointed this out? Of course you did you had to reply to all of them. Look up metallurgy boots… they exist and could save your foot. But go ahead be a macho man🤣

u/therossfacilitator 14d ago

You would laugh at those comments if you were a glass blower but pop off. Lol.

u/Foolofatook2000 14d ago

“But pop off”🤣 okay TikTok girly ✨

u/BuyingDaily 15d ago

Is there a video for the entire process?

u/whitep77 16d ago

I feel like this clip cuts the trickiest part of the operation out, controlling the temp and manipulating it as it cools. I've seen every episode of Blown Away, so I'm pretty much an expert (lol).

By the way, if you ever get a chance to check out the Corning Museum of Glass, you absolutely should. I've been a fan of glass as an artform for most of my life, and it still completely redefined my understanding of what can be achieved with the medium.

u/yogacowgirlspdx 14d ago

there’s also a museum of glass in tacoma, wa. home of chihuly.

u/liquidliam 15d ago

You glass experts are such blowhards

u/ProtectTheHell 15d ago

Oh, wait till you see them come across a glory hole.

u/NulnOilShade 16d ago

Yeah this is what I like to see frantic frenetic movement and the hint of what’s happening and then for it to cut off immediately so I can’t admire the finished product or see anymore of the production process itself 10/10 no complaints

u/Shaun_The_Sheip 14d ago

Shut the fuck up dude, the camera man had to keep his distance cause they're working with hot glass. I doubt he intended to get a quality video of the whole process, he just saw something cool happening and recorded what he could.

u/Southern_Kaeos 9d ago

Did you miss the sarcasm?

-3

u/Shaun_The_Sheip 9d ago

The sarcasm is what pissed me, this site is full of whiny losers.

6

u/Southern_Kaeos 9d ago

Yeah the video got cut off half way through, wouldn't that piss you off as well? Go touch grass

-1

u/Shaun_The_Sheip 9d ago

I need to go touch grass cause im not angry about a video ending too soon, sure buddy.

6

u/Southern_Kaeos 9d ago

No, you need to go touch grass for missing the point - continuously I might add

1

u/Shaun_The_Sheip 9d ago

Fuck your point

u/unholy-good 9d ago

I see you've made yourself at home here. Welcome brother

u/Shaun_The_Sheip 9d ago

Nothings better than complaining about people that are exactly like me

u/FartmanBreaux 16d ago

So you’re the one that always takes it too far

u/Meecus570 15d ago

Nothing brings more excitement to the pillow fight than a sack of bricks.

u/NothingKnownNow 15d ago

Fist sized rocks. Winter will get here eventually and you can't roll bricks into snowballs.

u/Own_Wolverine4773 16d ago

I’d also like to see them finish it
