gotta share this....
 

making some BIG glass today.. I never work this big...

This thread worthless without pictures

Stealth glass. It's designed to allow bugs to get in to the no escape zone.

Thats wierd. I uploaded it...:huh:

I'll try it again.

Nebe, that is just about the right size to hold my daily Guinness! Please let is cool first.........:gu:

Wow, That's awesome. What's it going to be used for?

I was commissioned by a lighting company to make 10 shades to replace the original shades for some gas lamps @ a town hall in mass... the originals were made in 1850.. When they are cool, I will scribe 2 lines on the top and bottom with a diamond and pop the ends off with a small oxy propane torch to make it an open ended cylinder ... very tricky.

Sweet!!!

Best of luck!

I could make a Chit-load of beer in one of those....those are cool looking though....Nice :kewl:

You got some mad skills there Nebe

wow, 2 years ago we learn we have an Ewok on the site and now we see Sam Gamgee is with us as well!

Very impressive, Glad you have the work, you are truly a master of your trade

Beautiful work! You got some talenz. :hihi:

That is just awesome :love:

Amazing Stuff
 

hell those alone
could go world wide...

great JoB Eben

anyone want to arm wrestle? :hihi:

I definatly have one that is too short... cant use it. only issue is that its got a rough opening on the top. only way to seal it is with a cork and wax.... BUT.. I would trade you some brew for it :hee:

That would work for home brew...

How many gallons would it hold?

-spence

well.. its got a 12 inch diameter and is about 20 inches tall..

The one in the photos is 12 inches wide and aprox 30 inches tall...

Those things are incredible....

Wow, very impressive! (snodgrass)

Thats really cool stuff Eben.:uhuh:

thanks for sharing that...very nice...

I love seeing people doing crafts.

Looks like they are coming out very nice!

The short one you describe is about perfect for 5 to 6 gallons , as a rough estimate. Secondary fermenters which is what the short one would make are always sealed by corks so that's not an issue. The big risk is will it be strong enough to hold about40 pounds of beer. If its not , you lose the jar , the beer and make a mess that will draw ants for about 100 years! :)

No thanks..I'm jealous as hell of all that hair though:rotf2:
