I've never blown glass, and have only done a little glass fusing. This is a good intro to blowing. What I found interesting was that if you already have a kiln, all you have to do is add a glory hole and you're all set to blow glass...theoretically speaking.
Not a review of this video. A comment on the previous review. Unless your kiln was designed as an electric furnace, you will destroy your elements in a few weeks of use when running in the 2000-2300°F range. Having worked at corning and with Bill I am giving this a good rating. He has tons of information at his fingertips at all times and is a very good instructor.
