Looking good. Any update on when these will be ready?

Hi Dan
Perhaps some more detail on the tube.

In the past you have said:-

Everyone has their preference; I like poly tubing over acrylic. Poly tubing is Lexan and virtually unbreakable unlike acrylic that will crack. I got the poly tubing also from McMaster-Carr I am using the Polycarbonate 7/8”OD X ¾”ID Part Number 8585K61 @ $2.52 a foot.


Poly tubing size 7/8"OD x 3/4"ID x Approx (Bottom) 1 5/8" Long, (Top) 7/8" Long

At first glance it looks good. Some minor typos but who cares, we know what you mean in those areas.

Great job Dan - I (and I'm sure everyone else) appreciate the effort!

What detail do you want?
When you get to cutting the tube in the tut, it is easier to lay it beside the piece and mark it center of the two o-rings. Then cut.

Nice Tutorial Dan. The brass washers look better than would steel washers imho.

You need to be running 3.5-4ohms for 6 volts, I would go with 34ga it has more resistance. Nope no podigy, just the provari.

if it looks good on the Provari it will look good on the V3.

wouldnt the 34g burn out faster though? at least i would think being thinner...

I would think that you would replace it along with a gunked up mesh roll long before you would need to worry about burning out the wire.

Okay, I made my 4 washers from used carto posts last night. Mine were from standard 510 carts, and weren't nice and thin. Had to grind them down quite a bit. (Man do those things fly across the shop when they get loose). If anyone else does this, here is a helpful tip. Drive a 19 guage nail into a board, cut of the head and sit the washer on it to flatten it out on both sides. When you get ready to bevel it, drive the nail thorugh it, leaving the head on (nail it to the board) and then as you bevel it, it will spin around the nail, and give you a very even bevel. And don't pick them up right after they fly across the room (they get hot).

I used to make cabs this way...
