Love the photos and videos, this place looks awesome! You're definitely lucky to get training like this, and get to hang around such a well equipped facility.
The lathes, kilns and ribbon burners are mind blowing. I'd love to be able to make a glockenbodenkolanne, too.
No offence man, it's just that I know how these machines have been used and abused when I was there...Quote:

:D
but who is beating kids hehe
edit:
glockenbodenkolonne is the shit
hey back in the forum after a long pause
i only did scientific stuff the last weeks like : make 50 more of them then you are good enough to do the next one
but we had fall hollidays and i had little time to torch
i hope you like it

can anyone tell me something about this uv glue? i plan on making slide racks out of floatglass,m i want to cut different circles and glue them together like a pyramid....
here is the aparatus (gaswaschflasche - gaswashingbottle) i have to make the net weeks, it´s the second attempt, i think it came out quiet nice, goes in the kiln overnight today, i showeed it to my "Meister" and he said i have to make the next ones with better measurements because this one is here and there some mm off
i hope you like it
how do you put those , i dont know the right word in english, downstems in?
http://img802.imageshack.us/img802/9348/dsc01175.jpg
34 mm tube inside a "anstecker" on wich sits the 12mm tube with the bubbles
http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/4839/dsc01177bl.jpg
there is a hole in the "anstecker" to blow out the shoulder of the aparatus and a side hole
http://img847.imageshack.us/img847/2417/dsc01171u.jpg
finished aparatus with technical drawing
kind regards frank
Cool pictures. Your school looks really neat with your individual vent hoods and your equipment. Looks like an awesome place! We called your "anstecker" = "holders" when I was in class. Great pictures and videos of what you are doing in school, please keep posting.
some x-mas presents i made in spare time, nothing spectacular :D
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YT0j9...ature=youtu.be
thanks for the pictures, WOW !
Great stuff man, your skills are progressing quickly.
Might be time to remove the word 'newbie' from the title of this thread!
Nice work, im diggin those domes, are those logos just stickers? or is it that enamel stuff?
hi the logos are fired on in my kiln at 600 degrees celsius, i think they are made out of ceramics but i dont know exactly
i still think that im a newbie, but if someone is able to remove it from the title that would be great :D
kind regardsww from germany
i cannot make the stuff i want in school because we have to bench cool everything we make before itr goes into the big kiln
kind regrads from germany frank
hi i made something last night, i think i have to overthink some of my worksteps
actually its the second one i made, but the first with a fixed downstem

The UV glue is awesome stuff. I glued together a broken goblet foot 10 years ago and its still holding fine. Put it under a black light or set it outside on a sunny day.
made another bub, this time with diffused downstem with slits, im still running into some problems mainly with the foot/bottom of the can,
can anybody help me out with that
hope you like it
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_ajh...ature=youtu.be
oh h oh thank you very much for deleting the "newbie" from my thread title, i feel kinda cool about that, haha:D
now i have some advanced questions
bubbler feet...hollow...solid....wineglassstyle...with ....secured stand by marbles around the bottom....standing on spikes or horn or something else...
i want something clean looking i like the squashed hollow feet wich are wider than the can
now im running into problems
i put the downstem in with a coloured bubble on it like in the vids i posted(i plan on making a showerhead but i dnt have a saw yet...), then i seal the outertube(50X5) to the downstem by meltin it together, then i open the hole on top and seal a female ground joint on it, now i get rid of the cork on the one end with the blowhose and put the thing into the kiln for 15 minutes
i come out of my kiln wit the bub , bottom open, no mouthpiece yet, and seal the bottom, i try to blow a bubble squash it on graphite so the stem sits near the bottom, hen i blow a hole at the side and seal on the mouth piece
put in kiln
finished
but i think there are better wys, or maybe some more intelligent ways to make a nice hollow bottom, or cool looking solid feet
kind regards frank
blow the bottom out to the general size you want before you go the joint to get a bigger bottom.
ah you mean, join another tube to the bottom blow that out too and then squash/ flatten it?
or do you mean that i should add a piece of tubing to the closed bottom of the can to flare that out?
kind regards frank

made this one for fun as the "MEISTER" was not watching :D
hi, here is something from my school, im making theese for a month now, i took this one home cause its ugly and it has only three bubbles i did even make the hose connections myself from 10 mm tubing, the outer sleeve is 40X1,5 the bubbles are made from 15 X 1,5
hope you like it

kind regards
Sciencey...looks like fun, can't wait to see your new stuff.
im thinking about making a condenser like that one from the pic with revrsal balls inside to surprise my meister..:D
nothin spectacular just some scientific stuff i must do
theese are gas air mixers
made from 15mm standard wall tubing
i hope ypu like the pics

Can I ask where you source your boro colour in Germany? Sometimes people ask me. Thanks in advance.
in our school we use schott or simax, i think we are getting it directly, i myself buy glass from gvb
kind regards
Vielen danke!
kein problem :D
I need to get some standard wall...trying scientific stuff w heavy wall can be quite a beiotch.
All those measurements on those pieces^....shit's wild
It may not be spectacular from an artistic standpoint, but it's really cool to see these pieces. I've enjoyed them steak. Keep it up!
Referencing post 431. Certainly not your entire thread.
Thanks for the update as always steak! cool stuff your making, id like to see more sometime
yea keep posting! this is awesome stuff! Imaging trying to get all those dimensions right would be such a bitch. Mad respect!
hi, thanks for all the words, yes the measurements are quiet a bitch thing , i sometimes have zero tolerances and sometimes up to 4mm depending on the thing i need to make, i think heavy wall would look strange, and would not funktion sometimes like in condensers where you want/need a good heat transfer, and glass transfers heat really bad
kind regards frank
