The sealing is not as easy as it looks. I used to do sealing under vacuum with quartz tubes that were about a centimeter in diameter. I used a high purity H2/O2 torch and much lower pressures.

Fascinating work. Artisan level stuff.

Wonder is that's how they do the Apple Retina screens ?

One hour video? No thanks.

Only Sarah Brightman singing in Viena.
