Pictures at bottom, but here is a short video of the completed prop. The amazing thing is that this would never have been built if someone had not thrown away the glass I needed.

This is a nice prop. There have been a number of them made by various people and one run at therpf.com at about $450, but I wanted to build my own. The problem is that to purchase the glass tubing, one must buy several lengths to the sum of $200, so I have held off from building one. Last year, when I was teaching chemistry, I was throwing away some broken glassware, and there in the sharps box was a length of exactly the right diameter tubing I need. So the project is a go.

Here is the scrap glass and one of the tubes I cut from it.
My methodically researched and meticulously drafted design for the end caps. Done on my CAD system... Subject to change. And next is the 2-1/2" aluminum rod and various parts to complete.

Made some parts... I figured out that the original prop has thin wall glass and mine is quite thick, so I had to adjust the dimensions. I think it will look better with the thicker glass, but it cuts down on the size of the parts within the glass walls.
