I've often wondered at the glad rods you blow from. Are they of a different type of glass not to melt in the heart with the glass you're working on?

They are the same type of glass, it just takes alot of rotating and patience to not melt the tube/rod that your work is attached to. I've done it countless times though :p
I have the feeling that my hand wouldn't be steady enough to do this type of thing. I can see how getting to a meditative state would work well. It must take great composure to not get too stressed when a piece breaks close to completion.
