Just a reminder that the Facebook auction for this tool ends in about an hour and a half. Current bid price is still $120.

Since I know that not everyone uses Facebook, I thought I’d post this here as well. It’s posted in the Glassified group there.

The bidding starts at $125 (since I currently have $120 for an offer...

LOL. Yeah, I missed that. The video title just said "glass". Will still work with real glass though. If I remember right from my college physics days, the type of glass makes a difference, with lead...

Yeah, can't happen. No way, no how...

Between what I paid and what a new/unused Microboost would normally cost, I figure somewhere around $2-2.5K isn't a totally unreasonable price. Marina has first shot at it. I probably won't have a...

Really doesn't matter at this point. Due to the fact that I'll have to move soon, and don't know if I'll even have a shop after I do, I've decided it makes more sense to simply sell the Microboost...

Although I appreciate the reply, that’s the type of response I WASN’T looking for. If you’ve never even seen, let alone used one, then your opinion about the RIX Microboost isn’t really worth a whole...

Be warned. This post is long and rambling. I think I need to file this in the “life is weird” category.

My landlords have decided to cash in on the recent jump in local real estate prices by...

The point of my post obviously went completely over your head, Sparko. I wasn't responding to you at all. In fact, it may surprise you to know that I actually pretty much agree with what you posted...

Would it be dickish of me to say, "I told you so"? Oh well, I'll take that chance. ;)

I think you're overreacting a little bit regarding the "any artist" doing cremains thread title. As Simian pointed out, this patent, as bullshit as it is, only applies to cremain designs...

As far as refractive index goes, the COE of the glass is immaterial. The composition is what counts. You can have a high COE lead glass with a very high refractive index, or a low COE borosilicate...

I just stumbled across this thread. Mike, if your gobs are from the late '80's or early 90's they aren't from Schott's last melt of S-8, which was somewhere in the 2000s, but might be from their...

I never did get around to listing them. So, yes, I still have them if you're interested.

It was sold long ago.

Whether a disconnect includes a flashback arrestor depends on the particular disconnect. Some do, some don't.

BH, you are pretty much right about the difference between check valves and flashback...

Sold!

This is one I was hoping I wouldn’t be forced to part with, but my glass furnace still isn’t on and the rent needs to be paid. So…

This is an Easy-Bake control box I built for a friend...

Mind of I ask what transformer you are using to feed power to your furnace?

Yes, what Doug said. (Tried to rep you, but got the dreaded, "spread it around" message.)

I might also point out this quote from one of your earlier posts, Joe, when you were describing your...

With that stuff above said, let me state that in the case of your particular setup and the constraints it requires, I probably WOULD opt for a mercury relay over another SSR. But keep in mind that...

The brand I always look for is Crydom.

Nope, doing things like that doesn't mean they will fail immediately. They're just unlikely to last too long. As you've obviously realized, your SSR running as hot as it does is hinting at upcoming...

I understand trying to get out cheap, but it is seldom the way to build a good system or even a marginal one, unless you know what you're doing. Looking at your setup, the controller is definitely...

I won't go (too deeply) into the issue of trying to save money with cheap SSRs, other than to say that most of the common cheap ones are made in China. But Satronix in India is not a name that pops...
