Description:
Large Tunnels are glass shaping tools used in lampworking and beadmaking to create uniform tunnel-shaped glass beads and ear gauges. These tools feature multiple cavity sizes measured in millimeters, including 20x12, 22x12, 24x12, and 26x12, allowing artisans to produce consistent tunnel shapes. The tunnels are constructed with precise cavities that accommodate molten glass, enabling the creation of professional-quality tubular glass forms. These tools are essential for beadmakers and lampworkers who want to produce standardized tunnel beads and ear plugs with uniform dimensions and smooth, finished surfaces.
How it is used:
- Heat the tip of a glass rod to a molten state over a torch flame.
- Select the appropriate cavity size based on the desired tunnel diameter and depth.
- Carefully press the heated glass into the tunnel cavity, allowing it to conform to the shape.
- Allow the glass to cool slightly while in the mold to set the tunnel form.
- Remove the formed tunnel from the cavity once it has cooled enough to hold its shape.
- Use the finished tunnels as standalone beads or as components for ear gauges and jewelry.
