Today has been a major milestone in my task to upgrade the Neon Lab for the upcoming 2-day workshop. The main reason for this upgrade is to replace the damaged copper lines that had come with the original donated system. Thanks to the support from the Plasma Art Alliance, and some among the Plasma Neon Community: Aaron Ristau, Bruce Suba, Patrick Collentine, Kevin Twing and Anders Mikkelsen (an many other who gave their time and input); the tubing is bent and shaped to fit the Neon Lab.
I now have a foundation in what and where to purchase parts for future repairs and additions. My next task is to test the newly installed stainless-steel lines for leaks, and be ready to go! Hope you enjoy the Weekly⚡ Picks! Thank You, Percy Echols II Taming Lightning ⚡

For now, I work on hand bending the tubing with makeshift jigs as I did in the Facebook Live Video embedded in this post. After a long day, I was bit distressed by my situation. Lucky for me Aaron Ristau and Kevin Twing were watching and gave me some good advice!
The next steps are to bend the tubing to fit my setup, attach the fitting, and then make sure there are no leaks. Hope you enjoy the Weekly⚡ Picks! Thank You, Percy Echols II Taming Lightning ⚡
I'm still waiting for those who have signed up to provide feedback from the survey a few posts back. I want to know my audience, and find what I can do be it blog or podcast to suit you! Of course, laying down foundation vocabulary and explaining things has been on my list, but who would that be? Is that you, or have you got that part down, and want to explore and see some cool stuff?
I’ll do my best to provide updates as they come along. Thank You, Percy Echols II Taming Lightning ⚡
Hello Lightning Tamers!
Weekly Picks are way to show various artists and makers working in neon and plasma, to see the diversity in their use of neon in their practice, and of course the cool things they do with it. Hope to be able to bring you more than the podcast and Picks in the future. If there is are topics you'd like me to cover in blog, video or podcast, please let me know, and I'll be sure to put that at the top of my list.
I’d also appreciate it if I could get your feedback on the recent survey I posted this week, embedded below. In case you’re wondering, your responses are completely anonymous, so you can be completely honest in your answers!
Thank you, Percy Echols II Taming Lightning ⚡ |
