Glassblowers
A glassblower coiled the long tube of glass
used in Galileo’s thermometer. A team of glassblowers fashioned the light
bulb for Thomas Edison, as well as the necessary glass vacuum pumps. A glassblower assisted Vladimir Zworykin in
developing the tube that evolved into the television. The list goes on. I havent done anything as
great as this yet. Glassblowing is made up of lots of different
categories one of those is the Scientific and Medical Glassblower. This is the seven year apprenticeship I served
