I am very sad to hear where you got your sight glasses and at the same time very pleased someone loves enough to turn them for you. :( :clap:

I have just been given a 4 metre length of 4"copper to get started on a bubble plate of my own and the next big item on my "to find" list was a set of sight glass mounts that don't look like they were made for use in the engine room of a ship. Yours are by far the best looking port holes I have seen.

Thanks guys
I gotta wait for the needle valve to show up ( only ordered it Wednesday from Mrs Mac ) to complete the plumbing , so I thought I"d start the polishing process, there's a light at the end of the tunnel though, So the next pic will be a completed article and the build will be complete :(
Fuck I hope it works :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

If you want the smileys just right click then save as and then upload them into photobucket or something for easy use.
