He is a glass rock star. :clap:

Do I have to be the guy that points out that isn’t a dragon?

I figured I should get the pedantry out of the way. Sure it’s technically a form of Wyvern, but no one should give a shit. I’m sure there are cultures with two legged sea dragons anyways even if dragons typically have four legs.

Yes, you have to be that guy.

The completed goblet looks very impressive – I wouldn’t hold it like this though:

That was stressful to watch. He’s immediately starting a new piece. Remarkable composure - I probably would’ve kicked the broken pieces around, cursed a lot and got me a drink.
