Cool - thanks for sharing . I had bought the rollers at harbor freight & was in process of figuring what how I was going to provide . This is very helpful :)
I don't use anything bigger than 30mm, but if you made the V more shallow, it would work on really big pipes. If the top of the ball sticks up, it would work for any size.

Awesome! I'm glad you got something out of it. Hack the studio!
That's pretty ingenious but since it's for lampwork is wood the best material to use?
These don't go in the flame. They don't get hot like metal ones. Wood is used a lot in this hobby.
What a brilliant idea! What is the roller part called? That the glass rod rests on while you're spinning?
Roller bearings, they are in the back in Harbor Freight, but Ace is the best bet for all these parts in one place.
@@jasmine2501 thanks Jasmine! You are a divine sweetheart!
What is that ball bearing roller thing called ? I looked at home depot and loowes but nothing like it.
I got it at Harbor Freight, I think they are called metal casters. They are very common, but home improvement stores aren't hardware stores.
What’s the largest diameter tube you can use on it

What are the big handle ?
They are just threaded knobs from Ace Hardware. I have found that I don't really adjust the height very often.

Roller bearings, there's a few kinds, but they are mounted in a metal housing in this case. Don't get the plastic ones for obvious reasons.
