Up for sale is an ABR import lathe I acquired in 2014.
This has been my daily driver for the past 3 years. Functionally sound but there are some improvements that could be made, which I would be...
Hey Misha, can you change my username to Rosentech when you get a chance? Its been a while, time to get back on the forum!
Looks like you'll be ready for a co-lab friday!!!!!
Better make some more parts like on that piece.
Lets make somethin crazy!!!!!
Amen to that! GTT's are great and all but those but I would never give up the versatility of a premix torch with #3 & #5 piloted tips. The carlisle uni-con hand torch is awesome too.
Torches are...
Great deal!!! If you can manage to get some graphite in them they are awesome for working big on the torch. I got a used pair of the graphite ones from someone who bought them but realized they were...
Simax makes all their flask and bell jar blanks off hand. That most likely was Kavalier's factory. I'm pretty sure QVF also makes thier big 100L flasks and bell jars off hand. I've seen some super...
Make them bubbler can bases a little wider so you have more to smoosh. It's easier to have a big bottom and flatten it till its just the right distance from the downstem. And the wider the base the...
Was that a video of "The world's largest Klein bottle"?
I used to work for the glassblower that was commissioned to make the big one, would love to see the video.
Tree uses his magic skills to keep his torch shiny like a mirror!!!!!
Cool mural!
looks like an optical illusion!
Keep up the work, your boy's fillas are sick!!
Ok, crack off machines are totally believable. But you gotta have something to back it up when you say you MAKE custom glass lathes, pics, actual business contact information, web site etc. Even the...
What up Redbone!!
Im in Olympia. You ever make it out this way?
Yeah i know a thing or two about the "swiss" perc.
Love seeing people give it a try themselves!
I've noticed the ridges on some of the Lenz Uber joints. But they were very slight and NEVER anything like the quality of the chinese joint glass.
Working those chinese joints is no fun!
Awesome first tube!
Keep makin' em, practice makes perfect.
I have a couple extra T tanks I'd like to get rid of. I don't think I'll ever be using tanks again unless I can't get my LOX delivery in time.
Only problem is that I'm in Washington state.

Where did you find the soda lime ones???
Mcmaster-Carr has tiny ones made of boro. Largest they have is 1/4 at $15 for 100. Military spec too! probably too small for your needs though.
It also helps if you know someone who knows about the machines. I've been able to resurrect some of those lathes that are collecting dust. But most of the machines I've seen that are collecting dust...
Get a refurb from litton if you got the money. And if they have one you want!
Get yourself some 2 or 3mm rod, fill in the holes, then attach to the "dome".
The Venturi vacuum works pretty good but an actual vacuum pump makes a huge difference. And you don't have the noise of a compressor!
Check out SSC Controls for a good deal on foot pedals. I...
the core was not hot enough. After you have vacuumed all the air out spend some time with a slightly bushy flame and start a slow reheat of the whole tube. Then rage it as usual and pull. How long...
I was thinking about taking pics for a tutorial next time I make some tubing. If you ever find yourself in the area hit me up. I'll show ya one on 75mm
