Super Heated

I was able to catch up with the guys from Northwest Iron Works http://www.nwiron.com – Vince Thomas and crew are doing things with glass that you would not believe! – They have developed a brand new glory hole that runs on propane and melts borosilicate glass to a workable viscosity – They told me that they are working closely with David Winship from winship glass supplies and Henry Grimmett from Glass Alchemy to further develop their systems – Vince was also working closely with Matty White who was actually using the glory hole during the Friday Night Demonstration at Uroboros Glass Studios in Portland Oregon – The Northwest Iron crew from Veneta Oregon rocked the house ! – They had a huge glass tubing of borosilicate on a blowpipe and made a crazy cup! –Could this be our future? – SUPERHOTSHOP - check back for the video! –
