Use for 250x9 tube?

[Greymatter Glass]

I have some, anyone got ideas?

So far all I can think of is a tall cylindrical fish tank. it's a horrible idea... but people buy stupid things all the time.


like 250x9 tube.

-Doug

[earlbacher]

cut holes in two fish tanks, and epoxy that tube between them... of course have the tanks where you want them first... they wont move again... fill with water, and enjoy

[LFC]

so where did u get that stuff at.... it has some potential. would make some really cool contaiment units

[Bo Diddles]

^Yesssss!

[Brian Newman]

Do you have a lathe that can handle it? You could make drums.

[Kool]

Before you make anything with it I think you should put it over your head and take a picture.

[ALIEN!]

penis pump for Whale Boner LOL

[jedi glassworks]

You could make large globes for oil lanterns.

[Mecha]

A large chromatography column of course...

[Greymatter Glass]

I wish I had a lathe big enough for that.... I like the Drum idea. Maybe I can get Tuba out here and we'll free hand it.

A couple minors and a redmax should be plenty, right?



...
Oh, It's Schott Duran. If you need any let me know, there's more where that one came from...

[vetropod]

What was it PREVIOUSLY used for? Was it from a milk factory? Or a chemical place? Just curious...

[Frankie Hess]

If you can't rock that on that cricket you should just give up now!:D:D

Do the biggest stick stack ever!!

[VOORHEES]

Blow in.

[Lub]

hahahahaha penis pump for WB i second that. Cut the foreplay and just make a steamroller

[Greymatter Glass]

Naw Wes, it's new.

They're used for reactors, chemical pipelines, etc... industrial applications abound....

[J Howard]

add a little hairspray and you could use it to shoot pumpkings on halloween. fix those shaving cream wielding punks

[ALIEN!]

But seriously, if Whale Boner doesn't put in an order, I'll second that drum idea, that would be bad ass!

[Pogo]

cooking babies
Hell yeah... Or displaying them.

[Swampy]

if you find a young lady that can get her mouth around it please let me know.

[Brian Newman]

If a lathe has the clearance, it gets to be a question of how to chuck it up. Tailstock not fit over it? Inside is risky from a strength perspective, but done gently on the inside, with the assistance of a set of rollers, might let you paddle it down to but-seal on whatever size tube the lathe will fit. Don't get me wrong, I have very little experience on a lathe and this is just brainstorming. I fucked up what I was making on the lathe today, and I have a real hard time trying to work by machine.

[The Cheese]

Get a big enough set of rollers and cook the ends down to fit in the chocks. Like a doubled ended point.

That thing's a beast. Make the world's largest hooka and sell it to some coffeeshop in amsterdam. They'd put it to the test.

[ALIEN!]

Use em for homebrewing? All glass setup.

[sunray]

Trev bought a 325mm x something one and it was used at Burningman with some big blow torches to make a big ole sonic type boom... so I heard... (That was his deal a couple of years ago)

[Ben Burton Glass]

Doug!! Make yourself a Butt Plug!!! :dieslaugh


Just playin Doug-e!!!

aloha!

[styles1 torchlife]

Get some Glass alchemy 12mm colored rods and some 235mmx 5 and vacstack a lot of reversal prep of course!

[menty666]

giant bells?

[Islandglass Man]

Doug

First you round off one ends and then blow a 100m/m hole in the middle of the tube then round off the other end and then lay it on two wooden saddles and fill the tube with water and fish.

Or make a very big punch bowl for one hell of a party.

Just put me in a shop with a K lathe and it's done!

Bear

[MUPH]

Felching tube

[The Lorax]

give it to nate dizzle so he can make it into a massive swiss perc! that man is a beast

[Greymatter Glass]

Bear, when you gonna come down and see us? If you can smuggle a K lathe on the plane, we can set that up :P

..actually with your credentials we could probably get to one at the labs.... Sandia and LANL have some big equipment.

[michaeL25]

Felching tube

Ok, maybe I won't google every word i'm not familiar with from now on.:twitch:

[themoch]

hahaha you had to look up felching

hope you didn't find video.

[Pogo]

FELCHING TUBE!!!!!!!!
There are literally tears coming down my face
LMFAO

[Greymatter Glass]

oh good lord...why must every thread I start turn into a feltching or docking thread...

(google: docking, aka snoodling)

... so my head will not fit in the tube.... maybe, but it's got sharb ends, not fire polished, so I can't really squeeze into it...

for now it's a cool display piece in my shop. I am thinking of getting another one and making a bar out of them tho. I have some ebony veneer that I've been wanting to use.... just an idea.

[Blacksheep]

A/C light tubes :-)

[jiminyrootkit]

you could get at least 2 400w hps in that.
maybe more/bigger.
just sayin.
or you could (try to) do this with it.

[Pogo]

+ rep to MUPH... still laughin about that felchin tube at the end of the NEXT day!

Come on Greymatter, What's it gonna be?

[Greymatter Glass]

probably a bar.

To all your guys suggesting it as an air cooling tube for a lightbulb... seriously... pay attention. this is a 10 INCH diameter tube, it's a bit large for cooling a light....

I'd like to get access to a lathe large enough to work it, but since i don't have that I'll find a way to use it "as is" ... I'll need another one for the bar.

[themoch]

you could pump that sucker full of neon gasses and make one giant crazy scientific thing...


just say, i know you can do it....

[Jimi The Don]

..frit..

[jiminyrootkit]

perhaps you, sir, are simply not thinking about cooling a big enough set of light bulbs. :D
-f
ps. whatever you do with it, post pics.

[Pogo]

^yep yep, 1000W MH is like "6 diameter.
Bigger light = BIGGER FLOWERS

[The Cheese]

Ok, maybe I won't google every word i'm not familiar with from now on.:twitch:

and I will no longer let burning curiosity get the best of me. :twitch:

pull it down to 6" and build a support and socket set to insert. Get a few big uns in there and light up yer garage without boiling the oil.

[marcel]

It shouldn't be that hard to find a planetary that could grab that. (I think mine would). Bore is 6". Get a few more, grab a video camera, rent the studio and hire Hamm...

If nothing else, it could be good you tubing.

lol. Good luck.

[$$$$$$$]

I vote for trying something out of your league and have it crack

[Skye Perry]

Looks like a midget display encasement to me .Simply close one end of the tube ,drop in the midget and seal off the other end .Be sure to pop a small hole for air.

lol - kid rock could dig up joe-c and take him on a comeback tour.

[menty666]

eco spheres?

http://www.eco-sphere.com/home.htm

I was trying to find the site of this art chick that makes open ones that are more like terrariums. She did these awesome microlandscapes with living plants and such.

Last time i tried this, poor guy didnt make it. You need one hole for intake, and one for out take.

[styles1 torchlife]

My mother in law has a 40 gallon milk bottles that was filled with water carniverouse plants and sealed with a large cork for the last 35 years.
There are flying bugs, algea, and worm like things in there. It also seems to rain in there whene it gets hot. I always wanted to make one for myself.

You could make your own eco sphere, then give it to your kids one day.

[Aussie]

I'm surprised no one mentioned making ye olde wig-wag spoon out of it

[Pogo]

make a fat onie, doug.
I'll load the first one.

[Kool]

... so my head will not fit in the tube.....

You wish.


... maybe, but it's got sharb ends, not fire polished, so I can't really squeeze into it...

Awww, c'mon. What's a few nicks and gashes amongst friends? Our amusement is much more important than your safety.

Get some good stingers.

[blackstoneglass]

That jellyfish tank was realy cool. That would be the perfect use for that tubing

[Pogo]

bump... Well, Doug, did this get pushed back?
You could donate it to the Forum B-day packages.... lol
