In the world of glassblowing, the making of rondels is often referred as "spinning plates", which is similar to the way of making window glass in large rondels called crown glass. Recently, it occurred to me to search for the term 'spinning plates' in YouTube and it turned up these 2 videos about spinning plates.
These two are from the same YouTube channel and seem to be from the same person. This one is from a public demo, with a microphoned glassblower and funny banter.
This is apparently the same guy, but not with the theatrics. The technique looks basically the same.
I've now 'favorited' enough rondel/crown glass/spun plate related videos to make a Crown/Spun /Rondel Glass playlist on my YouTube channel, VitreosityInMotion.
