I like the style of this blower...

And the background music, keeps up well with the turning timing...

Talk about high heat, and then into the annealing oven to bake.

Appears to be some sort of legal herb smoking implement.

Just a guess of course. But it has that look.

I have turned some fine pieces from various types of hard wood. But I never imagined that medical glass blowing was done while spinning, when very near liquid form.
I wonder if the paddle prevents the melting glass from flying off.

Glass is a liquid. It is not a solid. Heating glass just lowers the viscosity.
I know, I'm a nerd since I know that. Yes, I do some glass work.

Great video . . . amazing what can be done with the right tools. The end would have been better, I think, if they'd shown the finished product . . .

Glad you enjoyed that, as did I. The last scene when it's placed in the oven, pretty much showed the final art piece.
Anyway, I think it would take away from the mystique of the glass artifact, knowing up front, what we can only now imagine.

It's just more fun this way.

That was a lot of hot work, sped up for times interest.

Taking a break, don't work with glass. ;-)

I have a friend that claims bacon is God's perfect spice!

He must be kidding. Hahaha
