New episodes air on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.Show host Mike Rowe tried his hand at several jobs, including decorating a glass t-shirt paperweight, gathering and warming in. He even created an offhand piece under the guidance of Fenton craftsman
Frank Workman. His ''dirtiest'' job, however, was ''ladling'' or cleaning out the glass tank at the end of the day to prepare it for the next glass batch. The tank temperature was near 2400 degrees during the process. Rowe said he gained a new appreciation for a ''dirty job'' that has the end result of a beautiful work of art.
