Good morning yourselfMornin.
I was up at 2, got up to pee, and stumbled then knocked off my TV from it's table. Cleaned it up, tested it all ok then went back to bedMorning's over? I've only been up since 4 this morning. I have some catching up to do.

LOL Yup some catchin' up to do!I was up at 2, got up to pee, and stumbled then knocked off my TV from it's table. Cleaned it up, tested it all ok then went back to bed
Working in a good wood shop is like cooking in a industrial/commercial kitchen. Makes life so much easier knowing everything is there when you need it! Someday perhaps my wife and I can have a little bit of each in our little house..It would have been nice to buy his stuff. Honestly if he left just the storage and tool cabinets in the shop and took the tools I would have been happy too. I worked for the guy so I worked in that space before it was mine. It's cool now but I do miss his layout table.
It's never to late for smokin'Hope I didn't put this on to late.

That's is great news! Always best to be doing some personal housekeeping. I say this because my Father dies of a heart failure/attack and never even mentioned to his kids or his wife if he'd ever experienced anything prior to passing... Loved the man but I still get a bit angry at him for not having taken better care of health.Talked to the nurse from the Cardiologist office this morning, I guess my ticker is still operational.
Yes, external. It's a bit more complicated than the eToh Pro but also has individual replaceable parts. I am liking this !!What is the vacuum source, external?
Ooops, too late to the convo lol
I used one to extract endogenous phenolic compounds from plant tissues back in college. All our lab stations had built in Vac, H-press air, and Gas linesYes, external. It's a bit more complicated than the eToh Pro but also has individual replaceable parts. I am liking this !!
that's my quarantine diet.Random Crap drawer
We learned fast to avoid house air. It was “house aerosol” of heavy old machine oil.I used one to extract endogenous phenolic compounds from plant tissues back in college. All our lab stations had built in Vac, H-press air, and Gas lines
I should have paid a LOT more attention in high school science class, but I do recall those lab stations with the build in gas and air...and I remember my first set of triple beam scales came from their tooI used one to extract endogenous phenolic compounds from plant tissues back in college.

You have interest, you're mechanically inclined and understand principle; you'll be fine and I suspect you'll find other uses for it as wellI should have paid a LOT more attention in high school science class, but I do recall those lab stations with the build in gas and air...and I remember my first set of triple beam scales came from their too
Unfortunately I have extremely low science skills but I have a desire to learn....What do you guys with science background think...Is a roto vap like I posted going to be way over my head?? I feel like I could set it up and operate it with a few more YouTube lessons.
@manfredo this is what all the scientist's say to lure you into the lab. Once there they hope you'll never find your way out!!You have interest, you're mechanically inclined and understand principle; you'll be fine and I suspect you'll find other uses for it as well
No. It’s an intuitive machine, and once you see what it can do, you’ll work to learn the “racing skills” that distinguished the hot lab chemists I knew. There’s a reason it was front and center on our benches. It’s foolproof to the point that one unit will survive sharing among six (6) graduate students for longer than I was there.I should have paid a LOT more attention in high school science class, but I do recall those lab stations with the build in gas and air...and I remember my first set of triple beam scales came from their too

Free Friday donuts is what drew me in.@manfredo this is what all the scientist's say to lure you into the lab. Once there they hope you'll never find your way out!!
Fuck yes. One time it took. After that I'd ultra clean the water bath vessel and use double D water in the bathNo. It’s an intuitive machine, and once you see what it can do, you’ll work to learn the “racing skills” that distinguished the hot lab chemists I knew.

You may wanna look up Keck clips. There is nothing, truly nothing, like watching a flask of “solution of rare treasure” casually walk off the rotavap joint and then puke foam into the water bath. A Keck clip is cheap insurance.
It also motivated me to be strict about a clean water bath. The precious compound I save ... may be my own.
