Even I was not that wasted in the 70s! Good job LokieUntil today I was not aware of that. Donna is the only voice I associated to it.

Actually we referred to that type of furnace as a tank furnace and a furnace without a tank of molten glass at the bottom as a glory hole. A glory hole was a lot like a barrel with ceramic fiber insulation coating it on the inside and a burner mounted on top. very simple, no need for real refactories. Most studio glassblowers work out of a tank furnace if they work alone. If you have two workers or more you fire up the glory holes.Is it coincidence that you post this vid on the eve of Woodstock anniversary?
Given the era that it was produced I may have laughed then.
It has the vibes of a cheech and chong skit performed by amateurs'.
Excessively using the main characters name was a big turn off, the yoyo prop and the character playing with it were annoying
and his momma dressed him funny.
Glass blowing looks interesting. I thought about getting into it. Start up cost vs returned rewards changed my mind.
Do you have a favorite glory hole?

Most glassblowers rely on furnaces as their sources of heat. Furnaces used today are typically gas-powered and reach temperatures of 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Each furnace has a glory hole, an opening in the furnace where glass is gathered and reheated.

True, all glass work that uses pyrex type glass is lampworking. That is glass that you can heat just one part of without it shattering. Also known as technical glassblowing when applied to lab glassware which is often made on machines like glass lathes. Corning NY used to be a huge center for technical glass work, until they moved it to Brazil. Off hand or free blown glass -- traditional glassblowing with a pipe and furnace uses glass in which the entire piece needs to be roughly in the same temp range and needs to be annealed to be brought to room temp without shattering. That is like reducing the temperature of a finished piece in a kiln, about one degree per minute, or about overnight unless it is a very heavy or large piece. Then it will take longer.

Unlike the guy who played Uncle Heavy Dude, I actually was at Woodstock (Bethel) in 69 for the festival. Make it back again last spring to see Joe. Of the two shows I like Joe better. Plus there was water.Is it coincidence that you post this vid on the eve of Woodstock anniversary?
