"Hi! I'm Tom Wright from Ginger Bread Glass and I'm here today to show you how to make a glass jar. Alright. We're going to go to the tools now that we're going to use today. We're going to start it off here with this marble shaper. This is for marbles, but we're not going to be making marbles. We're going to use the round side in there to round out the bottom and make it nice and smooth. I'm going to be using some mashers. We mash. This is when we're going to melt in the color. This will help just get it all mashed together. We're also going to use some little pliers here. Little tweezers. I'm going to use this reamer that I created here. It's graphite. I'm also going to use this tungsten pick here and we're going to rake. That's what we're going to do with that. We're going to use this guy to get the fire started. We're also going to use this graphite right here. It's a paddle. I think that's about it. Other than the torch here. Good old guy. Get the job done. And the kiln."
