Q. Hi Corning Rakow Librarians! I was wondering if you have any resources on DIY glass blowing tools.

Hi Corning Rakow Librarians! I was wondering if you have any resources on DIY glass blowing tools. I'm specifically looking for information on making your own blow hose pipe attachments, and fin molds. Thanks so much! P.S. I was also wondering if you had a digital copy of the infamous "chicken" video that I could get a hold of. Thanks so much!

Thank you for contacting us with your question. Our video collection is a non-circulating collection and we are unable to loan you any titles, including Glassblowing with Marquis and Ward (the chicken film).

I have been unable to locate dedicated resource on DIY tools. For more information you may wish to contact the American Scientific Glassblowers Society -- they make a lot of "tools" with duct tape and cardboard, etc...

Please let me know if you have any additional questions
