    Love this ... had a studio in the building where the giant furnace was .. for about six months .. the main building has theses giant bars that ran off wheels that turned and ran different cutting and grinding and finishing devices.. Theres a blower thats like a story tall .. in the furnace room than ran air.. its a pretty cool old building .. thas basically been turned into a retal mall ofice space set up.

    Very nice !

    I am working freelance in a historical glass blowing factory founded 1721.
    My (very nice) job there is to explain the history of glass and making glasses in various old styles.
    As i grew up as a glassblowers kid I have some nice memories when I watch that vid.
    Here I´ve got some pics about the old place where I am :
