Thanks Gary , but if I built it I think just about anyone could . As I see it , it told me how to build itself - all I had to do was look at it and envision a little bit . I knew what I wanted to do and how the burner worked . From there I just had to make a parts list and fab up a few pieces and tinker around with it . In my experience with ribbon burners , the economizer handle has to be in the midway position for the burner to work . Am I right on this ? When the handle is in the up position you just get a fluttery useless flame . Yet when it's all the way down you get full throttle . I didn't want to have to use one of my hands to constantly adjust the economizer so the lexan strip is there to stop it against the force of the door stop spring you see in that picture. The spring is there for the throttle pedal to go wide open and then bounce back to mid position . Yes I know I'm lazy ! They say necessity is the mother of invention , right ? Well , necessity must have a father as well and his name is aggravation ! Many of us glassbenders are known for our occasional bouts of moodiness and irritation or maybe this is just me I'd say this figures in partially in my creation of this contraption and I'd never be without one again . The really good thing about it is that , the way I've got it set , I don't have to come back and adjust the air and gas to get a small heat or a full length heat . All I've got to do is hit the throttle and pull out the slide. The tire rim is ugly but the good thing is that it's made out of mild steel and is easy to drill into . The guys I was working for didn't have one and thought I was nuts but had never seen mine in action . So I just put an igniter part on theirs with the on off foot pedal mounted to the table under the burner (table mounted ribbon burner). The igniter was a coroplast hand paddle over the switch also on the table mounted right under the table top . It didn't have a throttle so I had to always adjust the air and gas back and forth according to the types of curves I was doing . When I was finishing mine up I had a little taste of serendipity - when I mounted the throttle pedal it just so happened to be right where the valve stem came through the rim originally I was amazed when the copper wire fished perfectly through it and lined up with the economizer handle At that point I felt I'd really kind of pulled off something unique but maybe some dead glassbender of yore has already invented one of these ! We'll probably never know that one . If you have anymore questions or want some more pics let me know but as I said , all you've gotta do is look at it and think and envision and anyone could build one .
