The Glazier's Bench is used to make various Glass products, such as Glass Rods and Sheet Glass. It runs on Charcoal.

Sources

This building becomes available after you have learned the Glassblowing tech. Once built, anyone can make glass products regardless of skill.

Cost

• 200 Firebricks
• 400 Bricks
• 1200 Sand

Use

• Has a reservoir that can hold a maximum of 50 deben of molten glass - if you attempt to load it with more than that, the materials will not be loaded, instead you are told "The crucible holds a maximum of 50 deben of glass."
• Must contain at least 20 in order to craft an item, regardless of how much the item will actually consume.
• 19 deben of glass can never be used; it is a permanent minimum reservoir level.
• Unused molten glass stays in the bench between uses, even after cooling (it re-melts the next time you heat the bench), so it is not necessary to fill the reservoir from scratch every time.

Types of Glass

An individual bench can only contain one type of glass (soda, normal, or jewel) at a time. If you want to use a bench for a different type of glass, you must deliberately empty the reservoir and start over. Since this is so wasteful, it's generally more economical to build an additional Glazier's Bench for the new glass type instead.

Glass Type	Melting Point	Working Temp	Ingredients
Soda Glass	3200°	1600–2400°	1 Lime, 2 Soda, 10 Sand
Normal Glass	3200°	1600–2400°	1 Lime, 2 Potash, 10 Sand
Jewel Glass	4400°	1600–2400°	1 Lime, 2 Potash, 10 White Sand

Products

One type of ingredients set is heated to high temperature to produce melted glass of the desired type. The melted glass can later be formed to the various end products. It takes 1 deben of glass to create 1 item, except where noted otherwise.

Soda Glass Products

• Glass Rods Takes 60 Seconds
• Glass Blade Takes 120 Seconds Item should no longer be available, was removed when the knife/carving system changed
• Glass Pipe Takes 90 Seconds

Normal Glass Products

• Glass Pipe Takes 90 Seconds
• Glass Jar Takes 90 Seconds
• Glass Rod Takes 60 Seconds
• Sheet Glass Takes 120 Seconds (Success also depends on the Sheet Glass Fabrication skill)
• Decorative Torch (aka Glass Torch) Takes 180 Seconds (Requires 5 glass)
• Empty Wine Bottles Takes 90 Seconds (Makes 12 for 1 glass)

Jewel Glass Products

• Fine Glass Rods Takes 90 Seconds
• Fine Glass Pipe Takes 90 Seconds
• Jewelled Glass Sigil Takes 180 Seconds

Mirror

Once you have obtained a Sheet Glass Fabrication skill of 7, you will receive a new menu entry, "Fuse silver powder to sheet glass".

A mirror is made in any glazier's bench regardless of the amount or type of glass. The bench has to be heated above 5000 degrees. To make a mirror you must have 200 Silver Powder and 1 Sheet Glass in your inventory. Sheet glasses in the bench do not count so you have to let the bench cooldown and take the sheet glass out before making a mirror. It takes 30 seconds for the silver powder to fuse to the glass to make a mirror.

NOTE: Various glass products can be placed in a Glory Hole, and converted to advanced resources.

Pollution

They did not appear to cause pollution in T7: After going through 31 debins of glass, the soot level remained at 0.

In previous tales, using this building would cause soot pollution to occur in roughly a 50 cord radius. After running 46 debins of glass through (20 sheet glass, 26 glass jars on 2 benches), the soot level around the compound went from 0 to 6 right as the benches were cooling. Any area effected by soot would cause flax to yield nothing when harvested.
