Flint Rod
Propane Blow-Torch for Glass Blowing?
Hey everyone, I have a propane bottle (a little smaller than a 2 liter soda bottle) with a blow-torch tip, with an adjuster to let out a certain amount of propane. I light the end with a flint or a lighter. If I purchased the right glass rods, would I be able to use that as a glass-blowing torch to practice to see if I would like to get into the industry? Also, where would I be able to purchase beginners rods, for making things such as tobacco pipes, water pipes, as well as other items that would be sold at a tobacco store? I'm thinking about opening my own store, and have no experience at all, but am very interested in art / design. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If that blow torch wont work at all, then any links as to where I would buy an appropriate beginner glass-blowing torch would be great. If anyone has any online guides as reference to blowing pipes and such, that would be a great help too. Thanks in advance, Zach.
Let me stop you right there.
With your propane torch you can make glass beads out of soft glass.
Pipes and water-pipes are made out of a hard borosilicate glass that requires an oxygen + propane mix torch. You're talking about doing lampwork. I've been doing this for years... there's no real beginner rods... glass is glass..
I got started out with materials from http://www.sundanceglass.com/
but, you're going to need to invest in a torch that runs you around 700$ if you ever want to produce anything great... also, you need to own a kiln and understand how glass is properly cooled.
you can cool little beads/sculptures with a crock-pot full of vermiculite.
walrus apparatus use to carry a neat little beginner torch.
The hardest thing is getting set up with the right kind of oxygen.
trust me on this though- don't try to jump right into pipes... you will frustrate yourself beyond all means.
look for my work on http://www.glasspipes.org/ - a community where it is better to ask these kinds of questions.
