DIY Glass Blowing

I've been looking for an additional, more time consuming hobby in addition to gardening.

Let's start making our own glass!

This is something any of us could do for a little extra income, depending on the legality in your area.

Let's start gathering information and perhaps we can get a subforum started on glass blowing.

Here's my first contribution:

Glassblower.Info - Glassblowing Information, Photos, Videos

Now I don't believe I'll be making anything close to a Roor, but in time...

So i've google'd a little, but couldn't find much.

How does it work, can it be done at home?

google lampwork it can be done at home

That looks pretty good, the prices ok???
