A Handbook of Laboratory Glass Blowing
This is a very good
introduction to laboratory glassblowing techniques intended for novices who
require hands-on experience when handling glassware in laboratory settings.
It explains the general principles and tools of glassblowing, hence it
focuses on shaping, joining, and manipulating glass for the making of
laboratory apparatus. While the guide does not pretend to cover to cover the
field of commercial glass-blowing, it is rich in detail for any one learning
how to produce functional laboratory glassware. It would be a valuable
resource for chemistry students, lab technicians, and for all those
interested in acquiring glass-blowing skills applicable to laboratory use.
