Not to dis on the scavenger hunt, but anyone can google image Lampworking tools. I think it should have to be one of your own images, or from someone you know...

Just my $.02

That would put at a disadvantage the people that don't have a shop setup and as still are learning here. Not everyone on this site is a glassblowers like myself I have never been on a torch a day in my life but I am getting ready to start, got all my equiptment just wanting to get my tanks from the welding shop.

That's what this site is about it's here to give people a place to get information to start in this art and for experienced people to learn more and share there love of glass

Kids dad isnt taking any safety precaution. No glasses and the child looks like hes about to lap up the shards that fly off one he cuts it. Sorry to thread jack. My 2cents...

**Theory** · 03-30-2013, 06:01 PM

Lol yea what's even thinking about that I don't think he was doing the work just bringing in the nippers and making a cut. If you look threw the guys album on glassartist.org that I linked he's got other pics of the kid actually on the torch and he's got shades on and is being a lot more safe than that photo lol

Ok, so it's the only action shot of me that I know of, but lets say I'm using the lighter, marble mold, glass rest, scrap bucket, tweezers, hothands, kiln, computer, radio and cell phone. Can I get five entries a piece for all those please ;-)
