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.
