Hi John,
are You sure that only gravity is enough for the glass to flow to the mold?
At what temperatures? I tried 800C and no luck..

Hi,
If I were given the assignment today to make a machine to make tube
bases, this is how I'd proceed. First I'd find an old tube with the
same base. I'd cut it open and grind down the base to just where the
seal joint was made. That would result in just the base molding.
that is one probl

Hi John,
first: I am very sorry about your loss. Especially because you put so
much work into your equipment. But never give up. The moment we give in
to people like this we are no longer ourselves.
That's pretty good. I know some neon people who couldn't do a neck-down
that nicely. The on

Hi John,
I did not find your reply offensive, but maybe the tone is a little bit
pessimistic.
the problem is that you're forming muscle memories now that will be
very hard to un-learn.
This may be true. But I think it is better to try with what you have
than to do nothing at all.

Perhaps. But having traveled the road you're now on, I know just how
difficult it is to try to learn AND be using bad equipment.
Hi John,
thanks for your advice! However, you use a little too much of the strong
kind of words if you ask me:
You're teaching yourself horrible techniques using completely wrong equipment.
The first rule in glass blowing is: If it works, it works. I am still on
the way of figuring this ou

Hi folks,

Hi folks,
today I have tried sealing a small tube (8mm OD) on a 30mm test tube,
both soda lime glass. As burners I used a classic hardware store propane
soldering torch as well as a special kind of lighter (you know, the one
junkies use) which produces a very clear, hot and focused flame as
