I just discovered this. Fucking amazing. Basically a hand lather. Spun out a perfect foot first time. Just heat and flare with a graphite rod.

Believe it or not, all of his videos are the "Glassblowing 101 Basics" pretty much! Its amazing how many "novice" techniques I dont even know/understand yet. Too much knowledge in glass, its a never ending process......Woah, the guy in the first video is doing some crazy shit!
Larger scale for sure! The Mini lathe is about the size of one of those handles. <G>its been done on larger scales kitty
Butane can hit 2600(f) or so, and clear borosilicate glass melts at about 1500(f). Given the diameter of a nail is only 5-7mm in diameter, it can surely melt them.is it possible i can melt glass with a butane torch? i think i just did on a nail it was scary..
I worry about this when heating up my hot wand. I fear one day I'm going to drip molten glass on my foot.is it possible i can melt glass with a butane torch? i think i just did on a nail it was scary..
No ti nails yet.... I've been super duper lazy lathe-wise. Havent touched it since at least a month ago or so....... I'll get there -- eventually!Let me know how much for the first oil dome along with an adapter for my bong and a glass nail - unless you have ti nails for sale.
Still working on dirtying up my piece for a picture....it's starting to turn colors real nice, I'm very pleased! Got busted a few weeks ago though, so I've been taking it easy. I'll get some up soon! Thanks again Kitty!
