I found a very interesting video (via Boing Boing) that shows an amateur French radio operator who makes his own vacuum tubes completely from scratch.
I thought it might has some ideas for those of you who are constructing ion guns. The way he works glass is quite amazing.

Re: Making Your Own Vacuum Tubes / Ion Guns
Thats one of the coolest things i have seen in quite some time. There's a wealth of information on how to work with hot glass in that video. wonder if he has a site to go with it.
