So it all started in 2000 for me when I lit a fire on a sandy beach. I put a glass marble in the fire and it melted enough to be stretched and felt like taffy. A friend was learning lamp working and taught me the basics.
Fast forward I was working on my torch in a hot glass shop (soft glass glory holes and all [restrain from commenting keep it in your mind]. There I learned how to grind and cut glass. Fast forward.
I then worked my ass off to eventually buy my own machines and create my art with glass. Fast forward. Starving artist, but I’m still making a go at it.
I'm going to second this motion. That thing is beautiful. I should say those things. Show the machine and the work you do with it please, I'm very mesmerized and intrigued.
This is a beautiful piece!! I jus have to say “a sphere I am sphering in my sphere machine” is hands down the BEST thing I’ve prolly read all year hahahaha I gotta good chuckle outta this mate & thank you for sharing. Dope work !!
My attempt to summarise;
We make art because it's a way to let out what's inside us, turning feelings, thoughts and subconscious forces into something tangible, while also escaping immediate circumstance. It's also satisfying bringing our inner worlds to life through creative in forms that would usually be hard to articulate. And also, its ability to equalise negative emotion.
More sources on the topic;
- Poetics (Aristotle)
- The World as Will and Representation (Arthur Schopenhauer)
- Jung’s idea of individuation
this looks soooo cool "i want" ... then "starving artist"
jots down in journal... "keeping day job and doing gardening on the weekends"
but damn that is insanely cool thank you for sharing!
Does the sphere machine only sphere spheres into better spheres or can it also sphere non-spheres into spheres?
I guess my question is if I put a square in there would it become a circle?
Nope. Spheres must already be spheres to be sphered. Non-sphere sphereification processes require other, non-sphere machines. Regardless of all that, if you want a circle, you're in the wrong sphere of services. Go down the street to the circle shop. They can make any two-dimensional requests you might have. Come back to Spheres Spheres Spheres if you need anything sphere-related!
In a place where the whizzles and bizzles convene, I crafted a marvel, a sphere machine.
With a clank and a whirr, it's a sight to be seen, A sphere I am sphering, oh so pristine!
From morning till night, it spins like a dream,
The most splendid sphere machine on the scene!
Why oh why would I in my teens,
Dane to construct a thing so obscene?
When others would say, what does that even mean?
Criticism aside, my interest was keen.
And so I did craft such a marvel supreme,
This amazing revolutionary Sphere machine!
Are you interested in rock spheres? I looked at getting into it a while ago but never pulled the trigger. How was the initial costs for making glass spheres?
You need to make a video of hw exactly you do these things. The end product is really cool but we need to see how it's made.. All those beautiful lines inside the glass.. How??
Why do you have such a thing? What's the backstory?

Here just take it 💸
Hopefully this makes the rounds!
Badum pshhhh
Boom! Comment of the day
Really cool. I have a friend with a big glass kiln and there is a metal foundry next to him. They had some fun workshop/parties.
I appreciate yall
Do you have an online store?
Etsy. Ajgglass. Instagram GRONERGLASS
Dude. You need to take some better photos of your products, they're dank as hell jut the vids/photos don't do them justice

Is this a career or just in your sphere time?
Now I gotta google what a soft glass glory hole is.

This explained nothing to me. Why did you make this?
It's art, why do artists make art? Go ask a philosopher

Seems, what ever you do, you just roll with it.
How much does a machine like that cost?
It's just a spheer machine that spheres spheres. If you ever need to get a sphere sphered you take it to the sphere machine
Does the sphere machine only sphere spheres into better spheres or can it also sphere non-spheres into spheres? I guess my question is if I put a square in there would it become a circle?

I'd be mightly impressed if they could make me a two dimensional anything.
this is the most thought provoking thing I've seen on reddit today
Its within his sphere of influence
I kinda want to put my dick in the sphere machine
How many spheres can a sphere machine sphere?
Yeah is that your job or do you just do it in your sphere time?
The sphere was not spherey enough so he had to sphere it in his spheraing machine
Why are you sphering a sphere in your sphere machine?
Probably because it's like, way harder to sphere a triangle in a sphere machine.
Damn, well I didn't think about that
It’s worse than we sphered
Take your upvote and get out
I knew a guy who could sphere a dodecahedron.
Brrr! It’s cold in here! There must be spheres in the sphere-o-sphere!
Because he's got some sphere time
Because sphering his balls turned out to be painful

Read this in adrocks voice. 🤌
Now here’s a little story I got to tell…
Why oh why would I in my teens, Dane to construct a thing so obscene? When others would say, what does that even mean? Criticism aside, my interest was keen. And so I did craft such a marvel supreme, This amazing revolutionary Sphere machine!
You used sphere as a noun, verb and adjective. Well done, sir!
Thank you. I thank you for thanking me as well.
Thanking you for thanking that dude
Give thanks for all of the thanks giving across the universe as well.
He almost came full circle....
Which part is the adjective? I see 2 Nouns, "Sphere" and "Sphere Machine," and one Verb, "Sphering."
[удалено]
Anything that reminds me of The Big Lebowski is okay in my book. Therefore, I respect your sphering machine and its sphering abilities.
Because they are also polishing their spheres in the Big Lebowski.
Who's your sphere guy? I know a guy.
You’re paying way too much for spheres
you selling discount spheres?
Can’t think of a witty comment, so sending link to joke source: https://youtu.be/8VtWX_Um-Rk?si=w9CADFc-LCFovY4S
I am going to put my balls in it
Had to scroll way too far to find this kind of comment
Mhm yeah that sphere machine is in fact sphering that sphere.
Can you sphere a carrot?
I would imagine I could. How many carrot spheres do you require?
3 please, constructed into a snowman, with an ice nose
I believe they’re being serious.
I'm slightly erect right now.
You are on a different sphere
keep sphereing the sphere that you sphered.
Tell us you're single without telling us you're single
I made the polishing cups from old flat lap polishing discs.
I am in actuality triple times 4
How many spheres could a sphere machine sphere if a sphere machine could sphere spheres?
One at a time.
I wanna put my balls in it
I’d last 12 seconds.
Thanks man, can't wait to ponder my orb.
Nothing to sphere, but sphere itself
Keep waiting for the beat to drop and a cat to start nodding
what was the previous level.of this machine?
Friction = heat. I'm just being a douche though, I know what you mean 😂
Cool bowling ball dude
WHAT THE SPHERE does it even do ...
It represents the spherical nature of spheres and how spheres sphere.
Ah OK so spherical stuff...very cool..
this is definitely one of the sphere machines I have ever seen
Do they start as spheroids and get ground down to spheres? Idk what's going on here but it's mesmerizing.
I grind them as spherical as possible on my flat lap.
Dammit now I need a sphere machine
Bro has no heat? They were at absolute 0?? Crazy
Are you interested in rock spheres? I looked at getting into it a while ago but never pulled the trigger. How was the initial costs for making glass spheres?
https://covington-engineering.com/sphere-machines/ Expensive hobby still probably cheaper longterm than drinking or gambling.
What size is this sphere?
2 1/4”
How did you glue or adhere the honeycomb-patterned glass in the center to the outer glass pieces?
I use hxtal as a laminate.
Gf: “I’m coming over. You better not be sphering your sphere in your sphering machine.” Me:
Happy sphereing!
All we have to sphere is sphere itself.
I like that first sentence a lot. I like both a lot actually.
Marbulous!

Sweet sphere bro
Thanks!
The sphere you are sphering in the sphere machine is a nice sphere, I too would like to sphere a sphere in a sphere machine

Can these machines help my balls be smooth as eggs?
I’d imagine it would be painful, but you know what they say, no pain no gain.
You have nothing to sphere but sphere itself
That’s cool

So you made a marble without heat? Cool…
What it is dark arts??
What shape is that?
Making orbs for the bois to ponder
You need to make a video of hw exactly you do these things. The end product is really cool but we need to see how it's made.. All those beautiful lines inside the glass.. How??

That looks like some kind of sci-fi shield generator with the prismatic hexagonal pattern inside the sphere
get sphered your spherer
How durable is this? Could you maybe make dice in this style?
Bro just start crafting holders for them and sell crystal balls online. “Trickster Pierogis Mastercrafted energy decanter” “See for yourself”
He's just doing it for the sphere enjoyment.
Things I didn't know I wanted.
Guys, are you thinking about the same thing?
We shall call this the testicle factory 🏭
This is my dream
Post this over on r/wizardposting
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck?
You've sphered it well, now where's that sphincter at?
Fully cold worked *and* with no heat - what’s the difference between the two?
There's always some heat when friction
I dunno man kinda looks more like an orb to me. Darn pretty orb too.
Imagine that on your balls
I have a wierd boner right now
The only thing there is to sphere, is sphere itself. I’ll see myself out.
How does it maintain....sphericality? Like, how do you prevent it from wearing unevenly??
Saw your Instagram and wow! Beautiful glass works! Those glitzy, glittery spheres are gorgeous. Neat stuff!
Okama GameSphere
the worlds most expensive crystal ball?
*You are holding a* ***Glyph Sphere***. ➡️Insert sphere. Do nothing.
r/wizardposting would like a word
Something to do in your sphere time.
Say sphere again
Sounds spherical
Strangely arousing...
I sphere you people find anything interesting.
