The theme of Gthe show was More—more artists, more glass, more buyers, more fun, and more love! Coordinating dates and working closely with the Tobacco Plus Expo brought in many new buyers and made it easy for them to do all of their shopping in one trip to Vegas. Magical Festivities and Fabulous Demos Opening night had a festive feeling with music by HIRIE and Marlon Asher, “The Ganja Farmer.” Live painters added to the magic felt on stage, but don’t think it was just a party. Many exhibitors reported selling out in those three hours! The vibe and ability to crush it doing business is one of the very things that makes Glass Vegas so special. During the second day of the event, the stage was lit with live demos from legendary artists such as Eusheen, Julie Riggs, Ryno, Blossom, Piper Dan, and Mia Shea. The third day featured demos by Salt, LaceFace, Doc, Snic, and Emily Marie. The talent of these artists was flowing off the stage, building excitement from demo to demo, as these spectacular creations were taking shape while buyers stocked their shelves with the newest and greatest glass and products around.

Boro Cars and a Fantastic Party The Boro Derby has become a mainstay with Glass Vegas and is not to be missed, with top artists racing their meticulously crafted boro cars for charity to benefit the Evergreen State Project. This revolutionary event travels around to different cities in the United States to qualify the fastest racing boro cars while bringing clout to the artists. The finals are held at Glass Vegas, where the winner is determined. Special thanks to Handmade for bringing the derby to the desert, since that is quite the addition to our show. The Millie Meet Up, which was brought to attendees by Dopals Opals, was the party of all parties held in a 13,000-square-foot Villa at the top of the Westgate Hotel. Hundreds of people were lining up just to have their chance to get into this epic palace! Mille masters came from all over to share their creations and jam to Marlon Asher while he did a private set in this extraordinary suite. Everyone came together to share an experience that will last a lifetime. www.TheFlowMagazine.com The Flow TM • Fall 2019 7 Marbles, Music, and a Charity Auction This year we had a marvelous winning marble made by John Bridges of Black Fire Glass and won by Danny B. Glass for the Marble Exchange. Danny also won a 6 x 6 booth and hotel room for our 2020 show. The Glass Orchestra, which was our newest addition, was a live band comprised of some very talented musicians. They played on the most beauti- ful glass guitars and a glass violin that were made by Nick Eggert of Glassical Creations. This was a killer ensemble that brought music and glass together and provided awesome entertainment to the show floor. JD Maplesden was one of the recipients from our 2018 charity silent auction, the Injured Artist Fund. He personally spearheaded donations that raised over $15,000 for artists who have suffered an injury or major loss. We are honored to continue to grow this fund for artists in need. The Injured Artist Fund runs solely on donations, so don’t forget to donate a piece for the next show!

To close out the show, we also announced the winner of the coveted competition for Smoke Shop of the Year 2019. We will be taking winners from the World Series of Glass on an epic journey to Piece of Mind OC and create a special event that will bring endless mar- keting and new business to the shop. The ripples of positivity will continuously flow for many years to come. Follow along on our crazy adventure at Blown.Vegas. Glass Vegas is a show that is driven by the passion, success, spirit, and energy of the entire glass culture. We thrive off of each and every one of the beautiful individuals in this tight-knit com- munity and strive to embody that essence into the soul of the show. We invite you, along with the rest of the Glass Vegas family, to join us in creating lifelong connections and memories that will forever enrich not only your business, but also your life.

INTRODUCTION - " In Units 4 and 5 of Block 2, you studied different types of glass and their characteristics, basic tools needed for glassworking, techniques of glassworking, possible hazards from glass and first aid treatment for accidents from glwsworking. In this experi&nt, you will perform certain glassblowing operations with soda glass by using B-msenfbatwingburner. In the next experiment, you will perform these operations with borosilicate glass by using premixing type burners. In these experiments, the techniques which you will be expected to master are arranged in a logical progression with eadier techniques being the foundations for later work. Therefore, you should not be tempted to rush at the exercises or attempt to progress through them at too fast a rate.

  • Exposures in the Glass Manufacturing Industry
    EXPOSURES lN THE GLASS MAUFACTURING INDUSTRY 1. Exposure Data 1.1 Historical overvew Morey (1938) defined glass as 'an inorganic substance in a condition which is continuous with, and analogous to, the liquid state of that substance but which, as the result of having been cooled from a fused condition, has attained so high a degree ofviscosity as to be, for all practical purposes, rigid.' Similarly, the American Society for Testing Materials defines glass as 'an inorganic product of fusion that has cooled to a rigid condition without crystallizing' (de Jong, 1989). While the precise origin of glass manufacture is unknown, glasses occur abundantly in nature and may have been a source of inspiration for development of the technology. Obsidian, pumice (a natural foam glass) and tektItes (glassy bodies probably of meteoric origin) are examples of naturally occurring glass. The earliest tektites worked by humans date from the Magdalenian period about 25000 years ago (de Jong, 1989). Knowledge of smelting glass was developed in the period 3500-2000 Be. Techniques for melting the raw materials in glass manufacture played an important role in the development of glass. Glass melting technology passed through four stages: (i) glass manufacture in open pits ca. 3000 BC, until the invention of the blowpipe in about 250 Be; (ii) use of mobile wood- fired melting-pot furnaces, until about the seventeenth century, by travelling glass manu- facturers; (iii) use of local pot furnaces, fired by wood and coal (1600-1850); and (iv) use of gas-heated melting-pot and tank furnaces from 1860, followed by the electric furnace of 1910 (de Jong, 1989).

  • Fluid Jet Polishing of Glass Material
    Master's Degree Thesis ISRN: BTH-AMT-EX--2013/D09--SE Fluid Jet Polishing of Glass Material Alireza Esmaeili Amin Department of Mechanical Engineering Blekinge Institute of Technology Karlskrona, Sweden 2013 Supervisors: Anders Jönsson, BTH Fluid jet polishing of glass material Alireza Esmaeili Amin Department of Mechanical Engineering Blekinge Institute of Technology Karlskrona, Sweden 2013 Thesis submitted for completion of Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering with emphasis on Structural Mechanics at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Blekinge Institute of Technology, Karlskrona, Sweden. Abstract: One of the most important manufacturing processes is surface modifying. In this work the common techniques for polishing glass and specially Fluid jet polishing and Abrasive slurry jet (ASJ) techniques were described. Also the theories of material removal from the surface were stated. Experiments were carried out on glass specimens under different parameters such as system pressure, nozzle feed rate, jet impact angle and nozzle stand-off distance by a direct ASJ machine. The surface roughness parameters Sa, Sdr, Sdq and Ssc were measured and calculated using an optical non-contact 3D profiler. The visual appearance of the specimens was graded as well. The visual appearance grades were plotted versus Sa,Sdq,Sdr and Ssc values and the correlation between them were discussed. Also the values of system parameters were plotted versus visual grades, Sa,Sdq,Sdr and Ssc and the effects were discussed. Keywords: Polishing, Glass, Fluid Jet, FJP, Abrasive Slurry Jet, ASJ, Surface roughness, Material removal theory, Roughness parameters Acknowledgements I would like to thank God for giving me the ability and opportunity to complete this work and surrounding me with such delightful people that have made this such an enlightening experience.
