Mounted the lids for the chambers I'm working on and cleaned up the edges on the lathe. PVC isn't exactly my favorite material to turn, but I got it done. Affixed some rubber gasket material and am letting the adhesive cure on that. Either tomorrow night or Monday I hope to be leak testing the chambers.

Got the oven wired in today, found out the control module is bad and it isn't worth fixing....

Story of my life :sarcastic:

These were part of what I pulled out of the oven today. 2 sides of the 3 blanks pictured. Some of that junk, rotten Boxelder Burl that @Mike1950 is selling. I mean, look at all those black lines and that red! You know how much bleach I'm going to have to use to get them out! :wacko: (In all seriousness, Mike is my favorite source of Boxelder Burl and these were part of what I got from him in my last package of awesome BEB. Have some other pieces like this that I can't wait to get stabilized! These were too awesome on their own to even think about adding any color to them.)

Also have been working on leak testing my new chambers. No problems so far! Need to order in more Cactus Juice before I can use them - going to take a good amount to fill these up.

The square chamber is what I started with, and will still be using, along with the three new chambers I built for myself. 6" ID, 2 @ 12", 1 @ 24". And a cradle to hold them, since the bottoms are rounded from the PVC cap.

And @Mike Hill - this one could be your future chamber! Just need to leak test it and add on a bit of vacuum line to the lid. 6" ID, 12" tall.

Yeah, if I had seen the pics of it whole before you started slicing, I probably would've bought it whole and just sat it on the shelf and stared at it! :wacko:

I'll make sure to share pics of the other ugly ones cooked up! I'm planning to give at least one of these a spin after I get back from next week's trip to Wisconsin.

Well, either way, I've been happy with the stuff I've been getting from you. Makes for some real nice blanks! Once I finish working my way through these, I'll be back for more from you.

As I was thinking about this part of the thread and thinking a little beyond the normal about the responses by @Mike Hill, I am not so sure that his therapist appreciates you (@Sprung) encouraging his psychosis / psychotic manifestations. But on the other hand, maybe he does. After all, time is money. So I guess you can go ahead and help him (the pshrink) by feeding into his neurological disorder or you can help @Mike by not feeding the illness(es). Your call. Carry on gentlemen.

I do what I can! I spend a lot of time giving counsel and help to people (but, you know that - you're a preacher as well.) Outside of that I cause people to need counseling. :sarcastic: Plus I inherited my father's twisted sense of humor! :wacko:

Truth be told, stabilizing is pretty easy to do. The real art is in dyeing the blanks, especially with multiple colors. And I'd certainly be happy to help Mike with that too. :drinks3:
