In "Granddad´s wonderful book of chemistry" by Kurt Saxon are a "few" pages (pp. 397-434) devoted to glass blowing. Really interesting stuff to read (I´ve a pdf copy and there is an downloadable version as well via Roguesci: ftp://65.25.15.188/chemistry/).

I knew a few glassblowers at a local Uni. It takes many years to perfect for most people. IMO just going to a glassblower is the most cost effective way to get glass. I got a whole 24/40 rig w/ two 300mm condensers, flasks (2000 - 125ml), and all kinds of adapters for $80. This person throws in free stuff a lot too. Cool

Maybe true, but thats not the point.

Glassblowing is interesting; and can be useful if you need a simple gas dispersion tube be fitted into a glass stopper, or something as simple as making the tip of a pasteur pipette smaller to be able to make nice tlc spots...
(glassware is best purchased, no doubt)
