I mostly do smalls, so I have concentrators, 3 of them so I can connect for bigger work. I looked into doing tanks but I'm not that good with tubing. My background isn't functional art, if you know what I mean. They're the ones kicking ass with tanks.
yea, I know what you mean. Beauty is better when it serves a purpose.
So, do you hook up several concentrators in parallel to the same nozzle?
how many litres per minute concentrator(s) do you use? :)
Where can I learn more about all this glass blowing stuff, especially using concentrators instead of tanks?

Yes. I should look into a holding tank but they're $$. The couplers are at Auto Zone for like 2 bucks.
They're M15s so I guess 15lpm-ish. Look at the torch manufacturers first for info, some torches don't do well on concentrators.
PM me if you want some links to glass BBs. :)

Cool. I have a 5 lpm that I got for EWOT and a 10 lpm that I got for sleep apnea.
If I couple those two would I have enough oxy for a small torch?
Thanks for the info, girl

Coupling 2 different lpm machines isn't really recommended, but people do it anyway. I wouldn't. Get a couple check valves if you do! Or even if you don't. Safety first. :) You could do a Carlisle mini-cc with the 10 only, plus it's a great starter torch. One of the smaller Bethlehem bench burners too, they have specs on their site if I remember correctly. All of that depends on the glass you're thinking about. You're not going to get borosilicate to move much (except for smallish beads) even if you T those 2 together.

Yea, I read that if you couple two diff capacity tanks you end up with half the actual sum delivered to the torch and you gotta mess with the type
of valves you use.
I'm only curious here.
I might play with doing something akin to sandblasting stuff on glass
but using a torch somehow.
I don't know..I'm a creative type.
Thanks again, Grl. I'll look for links in my PM. :)

Thanks, Moe.
I do too.
My old lady's oldest kid went through this last year.
It took them a year to send his refund...It's not like he doesn't have 2 kids to support or anything..NOT!
Damn bureaucrats.
If Target Visa could detect a breach and Home Depot can detect a breach..
Why can't the IRS detect when somebody with a diff addy files with your ss???

Let's praise Buckwheat now...
Damn!
Thanks, Moe.

Ya. I'm fucking as serious as I get right now.
They have to send me a pittance. I did the short form. Most of my money went to HMO
But somebody stole my pittance!

I WANT MY PITTANCE!

btw, I'm anal about spelling.
I've won other stuff. Regional skill olympics...scratch offs for a couple of bucks.
The other day the proverbial bank erred in my favor.
I ordered 2 -18650 batteries and a charger and they sent me 4 batteries and two chargers.
But I wanna WIN THE IRS REFUND LOTTO AND GET MY PITTANCE!

Lufthansa apparently doesn't to psych profiling of their pilots. So looks like investigators will have some a bit of digging to do to find out why Andreas Lubitz went nuts.

What's the deal with taking so many down with you? Megalomania? Resentment? Does the commercial pilot's dread of crashing with all on board become a fantasy, and in the end he wants to live it out?

More women pilots please!

only when they crash. which isn't very often, thank goodness.
Statistically that not true but I understand the mindset I just do not play that game unless I am pushed to get in a bus in the sky

The frightening thing here is that the plane's descent was very steady...not a sudden nosedive. As if Lubitz wanted everyone to soak in for as long as possible what was happening.

but it is true, hon. there are like 18 million flights per year worldwide and only a handful of fatalities. compare it with travel by car, which is much more dangerous.

they did say (whether trying to reassure people or not) that nobody was probably aware of the impending crash til the last few seconds.
