  Molten Glass

  

  These guys are working in 90 degree heat.  They have lots of fans and cool air pumped in.

  Here is the room where the glass is cut and polished.

  

  Here are samples of the final product - $250 each

  

  I brought home this picture instead of the real thing because it takes up less space.
