Ron, I meant you no malice so I'm sorry you took my comments that way. I don't represent myself as a glass god. Indeed, I classify myself somewhere in the journeyman range - good enough to get the job done but not a truly gifted glass worker. I think you have me mistaken for someone else anyway, as I've never made any videos. If I may offer one bit of advice, fire your getters AFTER you tip off your tube. Firing it while still on the vacuum system merely streams gas back from the pump. Recently we made some vacuum-jacketed cold cathode lamps for use in a cold climate. A single 10mm evaporative getter was sufficient to pull down a 25mm X 4 ft long tube to <10E-7 Torr.
