Post by: KB on April 12, 2018, 08:23:33 PM
Here is a little story I wrote about making an hour glass.

The machining starts at 7:30

That was just a little shocking when your "third hand" appeared!  Then he started talking and it made more sense.  :Lol:

Nice little project.

That looks more like a 3 minute glass.  I thought you were going to scale it up to an hour and make the glass part.

Thanks Zee.

Bent, ha, yes I'm having some fun with the boys in the shop.

Lew, yes it is just a little guy, I have wanted to do some glass blowing... Sorry for the misleading title.

Hmm, or start with a pair of these, and join them with a suitable machined fitting.  Said fitting could also have a conical needle valve, to adjust flow for calibrating the time?
