<v Speaker 3>of give you the instructions of everything. And there's some

19
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:42.679
<v Speaker 3>twists this year. I don't I kind of leave those

20
00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:44.439
<v Speaker 3>to the end, but there's some big ones this year.

21
00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh, the Man of Mystery here. Now this is year

22
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:50.799
<v Speaker 1>number four for this. Yes, this is starting to become

23
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:52.000
<v Speaker 1>quite the tradition.

24
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:54.759
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I've realized it was year four and was like, man,

25
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:56.759
<v Speaker 3>next year's five I'm gonna have to do something.

26
00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:58.280
<v Speaker 1>How does this work?

27
00:00:58.920 --> 00:01:02.000
<v Speaker 3>So basically and pass you show up, I give you

28
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:04.760
<v Speaker 3>some instructions of kind of how it's gonna work, and

29
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:07.239
<v Speaker 3>then we release some clues on Facebook. So there's an

30
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.640
<v Speaker 3>event page on Facebook the Great Bartlesville Egg Hunt. So

31
00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.640
<v Speaker 3>we kind of break it down for everybody and then say, okay.

32
00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:14.239
<v Speaker 2>Here it is.

33
00:01:14.319 --> 00:01:17.519
<v Speaker 3>And it could be all over Bartlesville, it could be downtown.

34
00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:18.640
<v Speaker 2>You never know.

35
00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:21.719
<v Speaker 3>And so until we release those clues and then basically

36
00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:23.680
<v Speaker 3>you go out and you do your best to find

37
00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:24.040
<v Speaker 3>an egg.

38
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Now, these are kind of unusual eggs. These are ones

39
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:28.599
<v Speaker 1>you make.

40
00:01:28.959 --> 00:01:30.959
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, each one's unique handmade.

41
00:01:31.239 --> 00:01:33.359
<v Speaker 1>Wow glass yep.

42
00:01:33.439 --> 00:01:36.319
<v Speaker 3>Glass comes out of a furnace at twenty one degrees.

43
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:40.920
<v Speaker 1>That's tough. And these eggs are a little bit more

44
00:01:40.959 --> 00:01:42.760
<v Speaker 1>valuable than the ones at the grocery store.

45
00:01:42.840 --> 00:01:44.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they might be a little bit more expensive. You know,

46
00:01:44.879 --> 00:01:46.560
<v Speaker 3>prices on eggs have come down now.

47
00:01:46.439 --> 00:01:47.079
<v Speaker 1>So a little bit.

48
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.000
<v Speaker 3>But yeah, they're all glass eggs. Each have their own

49
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:54.079
<v Speaker 3>unique designs. Some have multiple colors, some of them glow

50
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:56.400
<v Speaker 3>in the dark. Some of them have what we call

51
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:59.000
<v Speaker 3>dichroic glass, which is a real shimmery.

52
00:02:00.400 --> 00:02:00.760
<v Speaker 2>Product.

53
00:02:00.840 --> 00:02:02.760
<v Speaker 3>You can put in The egg was actually used on

54
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:04.519
<v Speaker 3>the heat shield for space re entry, and they found

55
00:02:04.560 --> 00:02:05.400
<v Speaker 3>you can put it in glass.

56
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:08.759
<v Speaker 1>So now these things are collectors items.

57
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:11.159
<v Speaker 2>I mean if people want to collect them, for sure.

58
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:13.719
<v Speaker 3>But I have had people reach out, you know and say, hey,

59
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:15.840
<v Speaker 3>we've gotten one every year. We can't go this year,

60
00:02:16.159 --> 00:02:19.680
<v Speaker 3>you know, and I'm like, it's limited stock.

61
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.680
<v Speaker 1>Very limited too. So how long does this last? Is

62
00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>this like a week long hunt?

63
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:26.479
<v Speaker 2>No, it's really just that day.

64
00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:28.280
<v Speaker 3>But you know, each year I've had to make it

65
00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.199
<v Speaker 3>a little more difficult because the citizens of Bortlesville and

66
00:02:31.199 --> 00:02:33.560
<v Speaker 3>people who come out, you know, every year we make

67
00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:35.599
<v Speaker 3>it a little harder and they are finding it quick.

68
00:02:35.719 --> 00:02:37.759
<v Speaker 3>So I think last year we had about two hundred

69
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:40.639
<v Speaker 3>people and I think we had twenty four eggs and

70
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:43.719
<v Speaker 3>they found them probably within i'd say forty minutes.

71
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:46.199
<v Speaker 1>Oh my goodness sake. So they're on it. They're all

72
00:02:46.240 --> 00:02:49.120
<v Speaker 1>about this, Yes, man, how many are up for grabs

73
00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:49.479
<v Speaker 1>this year?

74
00:02:49.520 --> 00:02:51.400
<v Speaker 3>So this year we're gonna do twenty four as well.

75
00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:53.840
<v Speaker 3>But the clues are gonna be a lot harder this year.

76
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.039
<v Speaker 1>All right, So you got to go to the Facebook

77
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:56.960
<v Speaker 1>page kind of get.

78
00:02:56.840 --> 00:02:59.199
<v Speaker 2>Your Yeah, you get some information there.

79
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:02.280
<v Speaker 3>I post some stuff out there, but really the day

80
00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:04.199
<v Speaker 3>of the event will get you everything and it should

81
00:03:04.199 --> 00:03:04.719
<v Speaker 3>be a good time.

82
00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:05.879
<v Speaker 1>So you need to show up ten and you have

83
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.719
<v Speaker 1>a unity square to get the final detail. You got it,

84
00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:11.039
<v Speaker 1>maybe you can put it all together here. Now, when

85
00:03:11.039 --> 00:03:13.680
<v Speaker 1>we talk about we talked about these eggs just being

86
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.680
<v Speaker 1>cool and so unique. How do you go about doing this?

87
00:03:16.759 --> 00:03:19.199
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I mean, how are they made? I mean,

88
00:03:19.439 --> 00:03:20.879
<v Speaker 1>I know they're made of glass, but I don't know

89
00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:22.159
<v Speaker 1>anything about making glass.

90
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:25.039
<v Speaker 3>So there's multiple processes to the glass and how you

91
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:25.719
<v Speaker 3>want to approach that.

92
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:27.599
<v Speaker 2>But with mine, it's blown glass.

93
00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:30.000
<v Speaker 3>So basically I go into my furnace which has got

94
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.680
<v Speaker 3>molten glass at twenty one hundred degrees. When I go

95
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:34.919
<v Speaker 3>in and get glass out, that's called to gather, and

96
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.639
<v Speaker 3>at that point I can I have different colors. It's

97
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:40.800
<v Speaker 3>kind of like my palt painted palette. I have what

98
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:43.560
<v Speaker 3>they call fritz little pieces of broken up colored glass

99
00:03:43.919 --> 00:03:46.759
<v Speaker 3>that I buy from my suppliers, and then I pick

100
00:03:46.800 --> 00:03:48.879
<v Speaker 3>whichever colors I want to go into. Why that glass

101
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:50.879
<v Speaker 3>is hot, I can roll into it, it sticks to it.

102
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:53.439
<v Speaker 3>When I put it in my reheating furnace, it melts

103
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:54.680
<v Speaker 3>it into the glass, so it's.

104
00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:55.439
<v Speaker 2>All becomes one.

105
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:58.240
<v Speaker 3>And then I have the option to you to add

106
00:03:58.280 --> 00:04:01.199
<v Speaker 3>more colors, designs twists. When I go in and get

107
00:04:01.199 --> 00:04:04.159
<v Speaker 3>another gather, I could come out and add more color.

108
00:04:04.199 --> 00:04:05.759
<v Speaker 2>I could just leave it cased.

109
00:04:06.719 --> 00:04:09.840
<v Speaker 3>So some of the eggs have color inside them, some

110
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:13.120
<v Speaker 3>of them the colors right on the outside. So it

111
00:04:13.240 --> 00:04:15.360
<v Speaker 3>just depends if I've decided to put dichro in, if

112
00:04:15.400 --> 00:04:17.279
<v Speaker 3>I make it glow in the dark, if I hit

113
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:19.079
<v Speaker 3>a mold and put a pattern in it, So they're

114
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:20.600
<v Speaker 3>all can be very different.

115
00:04:21.240 --> 00:04:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Wow, how long does it take to make your average egg?

116
00:04:23.959 --> 00:04:27.160
<v Speaker 3>So the average egg, I would say, I do get

117
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:30.360
<v Speaker 3>a little involved in it, and one of them all

118
00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:32.319
<v Speaker 3>to look good, so you know, I mean, I could

119
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:36.439
<v Speaker 3>probably spend ten minutes on an egg, but then it's

120
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:39.399
<v Speaker 3>got a cool and it takes twelve hours to cool.

121
00:04:39.800 --> 00:04:41.519
<v Speaker 3>Then once it's cooled, as long as it's made it

122
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:43.800
<v Speaker 3>through that whole process, I then have to grind off

123
00:04:43.800 --> 00:04:47.040
<v Speaker 3>the rough edges and polish them, and then that can

124
00:04:47.079 --> 00:04:49.160
<v Speaker 3>take a while too, depending on how much polishing and

125
00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:49.959
<v Speaker 3>grinding I've.

126
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:50.120
<v Speaker 1>Got to do.

127
00:04:50.319 --> 00:04:52.639
<v Speaker 3>So overall, I would say, you know, if you want

128
00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:54.439
<v Speaker 3>to say I want an egg, I won't be able

129
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:56.720
<v Speaker 3>to produce that egg ready to hand it to you

130
00:04:56.839 --> 00:04:59.759
<v Speaker 3>until probably a day and a half later. By the

131
00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.439
<v Speaker 3>time it's come out of the furnace, it's cooled, it's

132
00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:04.199
<v Speaker 3>been cold worked, and it's ready to go.

133
00:05:04.480 --> 00:05:06.240
<v Speaker 1>And that's the minimum.

134
00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's the minimum.

135
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:10.519
<v Speaker 3>So yeah, it's you know, making it not so much,

136
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:12.959
<v Speaker 3>but the way glass has to cool and then some

137
00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:14.839
<v Speaker 3>of the afterwork can take some time sometimes.

138
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.360
<v Speaker 1>My goodness sakes, this is going to be great. It's

139
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>the Great Bartlesville Egg Hunt. Watch the Facebook page same name,

<v Speaker 3>Just the joy of watching everybody come out, the community

151

<v Speaker 3>getting together. I do have some eggs that usually after

152
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.199

153
00:05:58.279 --> 00:06:00.439
<v Speaker 3>do have some for sale, but again it's it's limited.
