    What can you recommend to consider/try to get larger gathers on that second dip? My drinking cups are fairly cylindrical - but are tending towards a slightly larger sake cup size, and are fairly thin…

      There is something called a "Collecting Gather" where you try to "scoop" the glass out of the furnace. This is done by turning faster and sort of skimming along the surface of the glass to push a ball of glass on to the pipe. So, turn faster (and more) and exit the glass at an angle where the glass won't drip back off into the furnace. Hope this helps!

    2. When you are stretching the opening with the jacks it would seem like you would either open the hole or the jacks would slip out of the opening.

    Question. Actually 2.
    What are you doing to the neckline with the back of the jacks

      If you're referring to the moment when it's still on the blowpipe, I'm straightening the neckline so it's in line with the blowpipe. That helps the body of the cup be on center.

    This video shoulda started with where did Yall came with that blowpipe? Is it metal stick with a glass material attached to it? What is it?

      We purchase these pipes. There are several manufacturers in the States that make blowpipes for the industry. It is basically just a metal tube, but to withstand the heat for years the tip is made of a special heat-resistant steel.

      @kentstateglass5011 I can understand somebody pouring some ugly metal from burning some metal ore few thousand years ago, but getting a pipe or tube outta metal and somehow learning ingredients in nature that would be usable to blow glass.. miracle
