loving it running ao80  for a few days straight to ao polish.  no ceramics  just nice and full with a good mix of sizes. 

ok whats left box 3? if so ill take it.

if I were to do the 5 foot pipe I would put a bell reducer on it with a pipe plug drilled out to create an orifice. while the flame will not burn back all the way to the hose it can burn back into a pipe that is wide open like that when it has low fuel pressre or backpressure. an orifice creates an area where if there is some backpressure which forces oxy in it will burn out and starve itself. when you light your torch and don't have enough gas it pops as it burns up air in the line and goes out. but since you don't have your oxy on it just pops starves and goes out good example of what happens when there is air fuel mixture.

I would not call it an air injection hole or some idiot will hook up his compressor wide open, blow embers out all over his family while they were enjoying a pleasant night making smores.

not to mention what happens when john q redneck doesn't pull that pipe after the fire is lit. builds the mother of all fires to impress bobbie jo redneck. after a certain amount of time bobbie jo is impressed. they decide to pull hot pipe and put the contraption away for the night. john burns his hand on hot pipe then sues for lack of spousal attention cause he burnt her favorite fingering finger?

sounds funny but I know a local stihl chainsaw dealer that used to sell log splitters that doesn't anymore after a customer cut his fingers off. so the guy sued the manufacturer and the distributer. the distributer with less money for lawyers ended up wth the claim. pain and suffering, loss of present and predicted future income since customer could no longer type efficiently. and believe it or not alienation of spousal attention (or something like that) because his wife left him while he was out of work.

this is one of them cases where unless you can get ul listing so that your insurance will back you in the event of a claim. it probably wouldn't be worth the profit offset created by the addition of such accessory. just weld in a bung call it a secondary drain in case bottom drain is full of debris and let the customers do the redneck engineering.

ps uber cool would be one full of lava rock for them city dwellers with lack of firewood.

that looks like a rainy day drain  for when you leave the cover off. hint hint.

I have found a lot of it in the creek near my house and along the shore of the lake, that came from Cleveland glass company that made window glass a couple towns over. most of it is black or has that green tint since they didn't do colored glass. I also found some on the backside of a hill at work that must have been from the old coal furnaces because our slag now days is grey and loaded with bigger gas bubbles.

easy killer we don't want this to end up in that other section.

theres a slot cut about halfway point of the rollers that engages in the metal frame. your rollers are to close cause they are not in right

me and my first ex wife  went to Herkimer diamond mine. didn't find any big ones. heres her bucket of specimen chunks.



 some of the pockets and trapped "diamonds"







anything that was even close to big was really brown.  the smaller they were the more clear and nicely shapped.

a few of the better ones excuse my dirty hands. we cant all have nice hands like drocknut aka sexyhands.







my wife was drooling over the lapis I told her to get a piece or 2 and I would polish it for her. she came out with this.
