I thought I would post some pics as i progress. I have 4" pipe and 5 sight glasses built. I must say with Olddogs tutorial on making the sight glasses this was not nearly as hard as I thought it might be, I made these last night in about 1.5 hours. I still have 3 to make. I am waiting for my glass cutter and I think this will be the tricky part. I will be updating as I progress.

They would probably have plastic lenses, Just get a glass disc cutter from Ebay, they are cheap, and did a good job for me.

No idea is bad, just some are better than others.

Thanks for the input todd but I already have a glass cutter on the way.. Ordered it of ebay last week. Its like waiting for Christmas. I think Im gonna get back out in the shop tonight after it cools off some. I'll post picks on what I get done.

Im guessing...a welder?
Just solder will probably do...

i was just wandering if it was mapp, or oxygen / acettaline,,,,,, soft solder, or stick.

I used Mapp and soft silver solder on my Flute

Mapp that it works pretty good for me.

hey I bought a little mapp/oxy torch from craftsman a while back. That baby gets really hot. Cuts steel. oxy tank is same size as typical mapp tank. dont last too long, but its really handy. you probably dont need that though.

you cant use a lp torch head with mapp can you?

I think so . I have used propane when I have run out of Mapp so I am sure you can.

yes, they are interchangeable. Mapp is propane/acetalyne mix.

that makes it kinda hard to push the "buy it" button

But the mapp torch has a different jet, which makes propane burn even hotter than normal.

Because of the different jets, it was my understanding that you could use propane with a Mapp head; but not Mapp with a propane head (which was the original question I think?).

Is that the truth?

(ETA: Better quoting)

That was my understanding too.
