HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Thank you Misha and TMP. My entire life is different after the path I've taken in glass, and I never could have imagined the amazing world that I now get to be a part of.

Litton F and Litton U lathes are pretty small and easy to move around. I think the F tops out in the 30-40mm range, but the U will go larger. You also have the option to use chuck adapters, but you...
I remember when this guy started selling these plans, but I don't know anyone who's built/used one. There are a few good cheap options though. I've seen Litton f lathes go for a grand or two, the...
Do you use Facebook? Arvad Kovacs (I think I spelled his name right?) put up a really good post with a parts list and explination. If you have trouble finding it, shoot me a message and I can try to...
What kind of lathe? What kind of chucks?

This video should help. https://youtu.be/nVCWiCvH1QE
If you need more help, feel free to post again.
I like to start by ramping full up to 1075. A lot of people use 1050, but using 1075 as my...
AGI 2019........who else is going to be there?!
For what it's worth, I use a set of scroll chucks on my HSA that are identical to the chinese ones Brandon has, and they're super true. Good luck!
Man SWIM...I haven't been around TMP much lately, but one of the last times I stopped through was when everything was going horrible for you. This makes me super, super happy to see. I'm proud of you...
Have you seen the episode of torch talk with the oxygen frog guy?

In the conversation of HVO vs. Oxyfrog....I've recently seen Scott from OxyFrog talking about his Active Compression Control (ACC). It seems like a really cool thing that would be a pain in the ass...
Closed.
I think you did the absolute best thing you could do. My personal opinion is that 42* shouldn't have let B Money go up for voting because he went over, and I think B Money shouldn't have accepted...
@Boro - I'm glad you spoke up, both for your own good and the good of the community. The Glass community is insanely tight, and we have always done a good job of self regulation. It's good for you to...
We all know Boro is a stand up dude on our forum, and I can tell you from experience that he is the same way in person. We hadn't even met yet and he saw me in a TMP shirt, and it was instant love,...
Congrats to BORO for winning second place!
Sorry guys, forgot to come back and post a better pic of the knuckles. Left side is Daves Blues over Raw Honey *Like the small worked piece in the post above* and the right is Raw Honey over Jackpot,...
Not sure if this helps or not....but a refurbished CC has almost all new parts, and I think they cost $800 from Carlisle, it is probably worth going that route, as opposed to getting someone's beat...
@Muph - Agreed. I guess the point for the dispute would be "This is a necessary part of the item for operation, therefore, without the item, it is not operable" But as I said above...i probably won't...
@Muph - That's true. For sake of argument, lets say it was sold as "ready to make beautiful pieces", but if the chucks are not there, this is untrue because a lathe cannot function without chucks.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the advice. Pretty much all of you have echoed my sentiments, and I feel more comfortable that if this does turn into an even bigger mess, that the majority of people will...
@Firekist - That was my line of reasoning. The seller would be under a lot of pressure if they got the whole item back and had to deal with it, and i don't wish to undo our deal either. I don't want...
It's kind of tricky to make a good analogy with such a complex situation, but I mean't that the movers are not glassblowers. They didn't really know much about the machine they were moving, but they...
Hello everyone! Lately I've been dealing with a difficult situation, and before escalating it, I wanted to get some input from some other glassblowers to basically make sure I'm not being the asshole...
Sorry guys, forgot to post that the torch sold! (for quite a bit more than $450 :) ). Looking at the post, i realize the picture with most of the knuckles didn't upload, I'll add another pic in a...
