The Art of Making a Nixie Tube

The Art of Making a Nixie Tube :

"The nixie tube is a vintage display device which had been used until 70s when it was replaced with LED displays.
The complex knowledge of manufacture of nixie tubes literally died with tube factory's engineers, glassblowers and machine operators. "


very detailed and meticulous steps to create a Nixie Tube
... maybe a little uninteresting at first , but mesmerizing as Video proceeds
especially like the various stainless steel baskets and such

Thank you!

As the owner of two Nixie clocks (so far), I found that fascinating!
His hand-made Nixie tubes really are a work of art.
