    I haven't had a chance to get over to my studio and unload it yet. I'm out of town again. Hopefully next week.

    Hey Dustyg, thanks for posting. I hear what you're saying about the open source software stuff. I'd be stoked to see what you've been working on. Part of the idea of the project is to get other...

    Re: More Glass Lathe

    The spindle has a 30mm bore but the chuck only has a 20mm bore. I'm going to try to bore out the chuck to match. It just bolts onto a faceplate on the spindle.

    Re: More Glass Lathe

    Same. The spindle hole is actually quite a bit larger than the chuck. I'm going to try to bore the chuck out to 30mm.

    Yeah, that's totally how I'm doing it. There will be the usual levels of Kickstarter rewards like $300 for the metal kit, $400 for the completed electronics enclosure, $700 - $800 for the parts that...

    These parts are for sale. The motors need to be mounted and the chucks aligned and you're melting glass. The motor mounts will take a little figuring out so you need to be handy. Don't feel...

    It runs my midrange pretty damn good. I had thought of running the inner fire on my mirage and running the outter on tanks in the meantime.

    For Sale: Re: 3 AirSep-12A oxygen concentrators

    That's just it, they're not quite enough for me. I have an old hurricane that needs a new compressor that might get me closer but I'd rather have 3 10 lpm concentrators.

    Up and running. Just a test. Not the right torch, midrange on concentrators, but the lathe works. I still need to enclose the electronics and do some finish work. 25mm heavy wall in the chucks.

    Re: Glass Upcycle and Furnace Questions

    Firing with wood is really dirty and you'll find yourself moving tons and tons of it just to keep the thing not as hot as you'd like. You'll find good soft glass tech info over at talk.craftweb.com
