hand making vacuum tubes Part 1

-------------------------
*UPDATE*

Hello people! Someone has informed me that this man's name is Claude Paillard. They also told me that he is a French amateur radio operator and he has a website! The address to his website is:

http://paillard.claude.free.fr/

I hope this answers many of your questions! I am so glad to know this information myself!

*UPDATE*

------------------------------
Original Description follows:

Hey guys I found this video and I thought it would be nice to have it on youtube because I can't seem to find it here. I'm not trying to make anyone angry so if you are the owner and want it down I will willfully comply.

This guy makes tubes by hand! Triodes to be exact. Awesome video. Tube amplifier fans will enjoy it.

Original video was called "Fabrication d'une lampe triode" and was found on Daily Motion.

Update November 23, 2008: We have discovered the title of the song featured in this video, it is called "The Man I Love" and was created by the Gershwin Brothers (Written for a female singer). Enjoy

This beautiful art brings tears to my eyes. I prefer these valves more than gold. Whoever made these, please continue the art.

This 2-part video brought tears to my eyes...it was a beautiful demonstration of building a tube from scratch. Being from the 20th century and having worked with tubes make this outstanding. I would like to have him for a Mentor.

How do you measure all parts?.. or know measures?

[Paul vonElektronik]

You´re totally right! But I wanted to know it because it takes 50 hours to create my tube amp (RIM Konzertmeister 1958). And later when I am an old man I hope that I can listen to my amp in a retirement home xD

If one is really interested in learning something, time is the last worry in the world....

[Paul vonElektronik]

How longe does it take to create one?

[roybo1930]

If I need brain surgery, I know exactly who I'm asking.

This is very beautiful... I wish we could make computers like this. I mean, by hand. Be capable of making your own processors and stuff, that would be awesome.
