Seems like a lot of work for something relatively low value

The cheap ones are mass produced. You're looking at a 20$-100$ marble here.

Nah marble that size being handmade would go for 20-60$ depending on the intricacy

9 years ago | Likes 181 Dislikes 2

Absolutely. The Corning museum of glass has similar sized things for over a hundred. And a bunch on display.

9 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 1

Yep. The only marbles you'll find for 99 cents are ones made on a conveyor belt. Anything hand made is gonna cost more for the effort.

It really bothers me that he's not wearing gloves

9 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 2

That glass is about 1500C, there's not much a glove can do against that.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Your ability to form/manipulate glass would be essentially zero wearing gloves. It's pretty tough even with full dexterity.

I've done all of the above. Final Fantasy XIII hurt more than the time I touched the hot end of the iron I was forging, and for longer.

I have a deep dark fear that if I tried to learn to blow glass I'd accidentally inhale, burn my lungs on hot glass fumes and die.

It's really fun, and yeah it seems pretty dangerous but if you take a class they're usually super good about safety

Same here. And my boyfriend doesn't trust me with a butter knife, so he would not let me get near molten glass.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

Do it anyway!

If I had access to the materials, I'd consider it. I'll stick to clay.

My boyfriend wants me to learn. I don't think that he has thought it through since he doesn't trust me with a butter knife either.

While I did burn my fingers a few times, it really wasn't that bad. Though I did know a few people who lost their eyebrows b.c if the forge.
