    Awesome tutorial! I usually make these using encalmo, but I’m going to try this method too!

    Thanks for the tutorial. I’m not really sure why you would use glue for the stake though. If you have ever had bead release fail, you know that the glass will weld itself to the steel stronger than any adhesive!

    Why not use a piece of 8mm rod as the steak instead of gluing something on afterward? I have always appretiated using nothing but glass to make my steaks. Not too fragile, as you might expect. I do admit that the thin metal rod makes the bee appear airborne, but clear glass might assist that illusion even more, don't you think? Nice video!

    Would you tell me where you got your grabbers? I love the combo loop and straight ends but, cannot find them.
