[Nfb-krafters-korner] Friday's question

[David Evans]

Dear All,

It is possible to blow glass objects inside a split mole.  They do this to 
make bottles and figurerines.
You can also work glass free hand by using metal tools.
I started to learn glass blowing at one time from a master glass blower, but 
never got around to it because of work.
This guy made an entire glass train set with wheels that turned and all of 
the cars decorated with colored glass.  He made the glass train set for 
actor Paul Newman.
The guy always had $10,000.00 in his pocket.  He also did gold and 
silversmith ing too.
I sure wish I could have hung around with him more and learned the crafts.

David Evans, NFBF
