In the Nexus Nebula, poisonous gases being sucked into the black hole is proof enough of the overwhelming dark forces overtaking the very sole of the universe... cataclysmic destruction perminately ending civilization in a split second... just a moment in time overlooked by the unaware and uninformed...
Josh Green and Brian Chaille stopped by the studio... so we threw down...

I was invited to do a demo at Blue Moon Glassworks in Austin, Texas. This wonderful group of glass artists meets once a month to talk about glass and share techniques. I demonstrated how to make a goblet and an implosion pendant.

I have been wanting to do this for a long time... the bench is 8' by 8' and has a shelf underneath for cases of glass, it is topped with 3/4 inch plywood, then hardibacker board, then stainless steel... the bench also hides a four-port manifold with quick connects... thanks to Jake Harper and Perry Barnard out in Wimberley TX... together we cut, welded, and grinded the metal to make the glavanised hood... two 8" SECO air hog fans pull about 2450 cfm... the fans then push the exhaust outside (thanks Ro)

These are pictures from a demo I did on January 28th, 2006 at Blue Moon Glass in Austin, Texas. Once a month a group of glass enthusiasts from the area (the Fireflys) get together to chat and watch a demo. It was a great group of people, and I had a fantastic time. Thanks Jim!
