When we visited Ric’s in November, Andre had a bunch of old tubes. I took a couple figuring I might be able to use them someday. I think that they were the leftover pieces from cash register tapes, or something like that. At any rate, I’ve been wanting to build some decent smokestacks. I always like to have some ventilation in all my buildings to cut down on condensation. The problem is how to cover the stacks. When I was in Wal-Mart the other day, I saw some chair glides; I looked at them and thought those could be just the right diameter for a smokestack top! I bought a set of four and took them home. They come with a center nail to stick in the chair and I cut that off. Next, I drilled some holes and added four brass pins to the glide. I turned this over and glued it on to the cylinder. Painted it black. Yep, this works.
