Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Crowdfunding for vacuum tubes/nixie/neon/scientific glassblowing workshop

Hi, Thanks for your message. I concur that it does not look promising at this moment. I got my old works elsewhere and I am going to make some photos at the next campaign. This is just a warm up as it is my absolutely first project and it is already huge. It is impossible without some more

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Crowdfunding for vacuum tubes/nixie/neon/scientific glassblowing workshop

Lukas, Great project and I wish you luck! However, without demonstration of your skills and previous work, it is a total non-starter for me. I don't know how you can expect folks to dig in their pockets without some way of showing it isn't just a fantasy in your head. I don't mean to offend

That looks pretty good! What kind of glass is this? Pyrex? Cheers Jens On 4/9/2016 6:41 AM, Lukas Niebieszczanski wrote: I would but I need to move the rest of my stuff. I'll put some pics of my works on the next campaign. Last time I was granted an opportunity of using a torch was 8 months

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Crowdfunding for vacuum tubes/nixie/neon/scientific glassblowing workshop

Thanks mate I really appreciate it, albeit I think this time it will just be a taster. I need to gather opinions of how people would see it, what would be the expectations and demands. And finally I need to present some prototypes as this is obviously crucial. I assume all this would go in two

Hi Lukas, good luck, I will place an order for 4 big tubes to support the project, regards! Dalibor Dne pátek 8. dubna 2016 21:46:23 UTC+2 Lukas Niebieszczanski napsal(a): > > Dear Dalibor, > > Thanks for your insights. > I managed to gather ca. 4T of simax glass tubes, some other glass >

Hey Lukas, So why not share some of your accomplishments? Do you have some pictures? I for one would be interested. Jens On 4/8/2016 3:43 PM, Lukas Niebieszczanski wrote: Hi Jens, Thanks for your message. Please believe me that I am aware of all of that. I also know what responsibility

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Crowdfunding for vacuum tubes/nixie/neon/scientific glassblowing workshop

Dear Dalibor, Thanks for your insights. I managed to gather ca. 4T of simax glass tubes, some other glass materials, wires, tools etc. This project is not funded from ground zero. I am assuming the project is at 85%. I was hoping to get funds for the remainder. I will you all the best. Lukas On

Hi Jens, Thanks for your message. Please believe me that I am aware of all of that. I also know what responsibility and risk that project brings upon me. If I spend the funds on that lathe and something goes wrong I must then return the funds, I've made certain arrangements for that. I used to

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Crowdfunding for vacuum tubes/nixie/neon/scientific glassblowing workshop

Hey Lukas, You mention "many additional processes than just bending filaments and pumping Ne to nixies". Just doing that took Dalibor Farny (the only man to ever do this in a professional manner in history, I might add) more than three years. So do not underestimate that -- I am not saying

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Crowdfunding for vacuum tubes/nixie/neon/scientific glassblowing workshop

Hi Lukas, In any case, I don't want to discourage you from building a vacuum tube workshop, I just want to contribute with some insider information. I am little bit afraid that you promise to your backers something that is not possible to fulfil. My first concern is the price of 20 pounds per

Re: [neonixie-l] Re: Crowdfunding for vacuum tubes/nixie/neon/scientific glassblowing workshop

Hello Nick, Thank you so much for all insights. That's exactly what I need, reviews and sharing different POVs. This is my first campaign that kinda is moving on. I realise that it would not be successful at this time, but I gather necessary experience and will try again (I give myself three

[neonixie-l] Re: Crowdfunding for vacuum tubes/nixie/neon/scientific glassblowing workshop

Hi Lukas, I like the idea, but I've tried hot glass work, and it's really tricky to do well - you don't say on the funding page what your experience or skills are like (other than you work in the NHS) - do you have any examples of your work? As you probably know, at least one other member is
