Solid brass tubing with LEDs in them and magnets stuck into each end.

So some form of magic brass that lets light through?


SLOTTED brass tubes

Not much of a stretch - you haven't seen vinyl shower curtains with
magnets in the corners to make them stick to the cast iron tub??

Holy ****, people still use iron tubs? Two of us tried to get one of those out of a second floor bathroom once, we had to use industrial strength rope and slide it slowly down the stairs. Luckily it wasn't a split staircase with a corner.

Sure, people still use iron tubs. People pay big money to have refurbished
cast-iron clawfoot tubs.

We took a cast iron tub out of our bathroom four years ago. Busted it up
with a sledge hammer and took it out in pieces. Ours was vintage 1947,
so not a clawfoot.

Even a lot of "current" tubs are cast iron, not stamped steel. Really
THIN cast, covered with porcelain enamel. The last one I removed went
out in pieces after scoring it with an angle grinder and smacking it
with a sledge hammer


Jumpin' in here ... our cast iron tub was made in 1911 , and could
probably be busted up with a sledge hammer . If you could get past my
wife ! As far as the lighting , I could fabricate that in my shop . The
light segments might be problematic , but I think if one could string
the segments together in series and use a current-limited voltage
variable power supply it would work just fine . Would have to use
dimmable LED's ...


Go for it. At the stated price, you' could make a fortune.

It does confuse me when Americans say shop - I assume that's short for workshop? In the UK a shop is where you buy things.

Er.... baths are made of plastic. I can pick mine up with one hand
(before fitting it obviously).



You need to get out more and receive some education.

Not all baths are plastic.


that would be a 100% waste of resources.


All education is a waste of resources. People should learn on the job. Then they'd learn what they really need to know, and could start work far earlier in life.

Don't suppose they've discovered that yet, do you?

Suppose _just maybe_ they've got some structural/the magnets inside

It isn't well written at all, but they didn't say it was _only_ brass
nor that the brass was a solid bar; only that the brass itself is
solid brass, not plated.

Clearly, although the pictures are contrived to not show, the brass
has to be tubing that covers the structural components which include
the magnets and all...

Nothing exotic there construction-wise, certainly...at least from

I've done it with a flexshaft tool driving a slitting saw mounted to

Used the drive gears as a deviding head to make multiple slits in the

Get educated by the sociopathic troll, senile asshole! LOL

Here have another (small) dose of his wisdom:

Some of Birdbrain's superhuman physical "feats" (as told by the idiot
himself):

---
"I go hillwalking barefoot for hours in the snow, my feet just go red.
Extra blood, they can't freeze."
MID:

---
More from Birdbrain's sociopathic world:
"I like being naked in the snow. All humans are warmblooded and it really
doesn't matter what temperature you are. I was swimming in the sea the
other day, not far above freezing point. It felt nice. And why do people
not like shivering?"
Message-ID:

---
Birdbrain Macaw (now "James Wilkinson") about himself:
"I can sleep outside in a temperature of -20C wearing only shorts".
"I once took a dump behind some bushes and slid down a hill to wipe my
arse".
(Courtesy of Mr Pounder)

---
"Having read the utter bull**** about dying if you fall in a freezing lake
for 15 minutes, I've tried it on many occasions. It takes 30 minutes to
even get chattering teeth, an hour to shiver nicely, and 2 hours to shiver
hard."
MID:

---
"The alleged timing is, fall into ice water and die of cold in 15 minutes.
Do what I do, go swimming in winter in a partially frozen lake, and do so
for a lot more than 15 minutes. Jesus Christ your teeth don't even start
chattering until about 30 minutes."
MID:

---
"I've had my fingers unable to operate the key to unlock my car (after
swimming in ice water for a couple of hours and running around the mountains
naked in a blizzard). But it's not uncomfortable."
MID:

---
"Your eyes have something called an iris, you can't damage them looking at
the sun. An eclipse is dimmer than the normal sun, so even safer. I never
used any specs the last time 10 years ago and my eyes are fine."
MID:

---
Brain damaged Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) about himself:
"I prefer a good whack to the head with a breaker bar (the 3 foot extendable
rod used to get leverage on a car wheel nut)."
Message-ID:

---
More of Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) sociopathic world:
"Most animals don't attack me, even though their owners tell me they're
dangerous. I had to laugh at one woman who ran out to tell me her dog was
going to bite my hand off, then saw me petting it. I once bought a parrot
that was extremely vicious. I walked into his house and picked it up, then
cuddled it. He said he'd never seen it do that in 10 years."

How often do you still need to be told? The clinically insane sociopath,
attention whore and troll is UNEMPLOYABLE most of the time! Most likely he
has to take up some government-sponsored occupation occasionally!


Some examples of Birdbrain Macaw's (now "James Wilkinson" LOL) sociopathic
"mathematics":
"100 is 5 times more than 20.
"5 times less" is the opposite of "5 times more", so this makes 100 back to
20 again.
20 is 5 times less than 100, the same as dividing by 5.
An elephant is 5 times bigger than a tiger, a tiger is 5 times smaller than
an elephant."
MID:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm comparing being able to tell the difference between 21 and 12 to being
able to tell the difference between 21 and 12. If you think that it's easy
to think a 12 year old is 21, it's only fair to use it as a reason when you
get caught ****ing a 12 year old, which you mistook to be 21."
MID:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"50 watts is ten times more than 5 watts. Likewise 5 watts is ten times
less than 50 watts."
MID:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"The answer is 9. The 0.5 chicken is dead, so basically it's 1 chicken
laying 1 egg per day. The half egg was one halfway out, the only egg for
that day."
MID:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"let's say you prefer 20C water. If you go in 10C water you'd say that was
cold (10C colder than you want). Now you go in 0C water, that's twice as
cold, because it's now 20C colder than you want."
MID:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Even if only 25% of people want it legalised, and let's say LibDems already
have 15% of the vote. If 75% of that 15% stop voting for them because they
don't want it legalised, they're down to 3.75%. But 25% of the 85% who
didn't previously vote for them, change their mind due to this policy, they
gain 21.25%, giving them a total of 25%, well up from 15%."
MID:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If I say 1, then "or so", the "or so" means another 1.
If I say 5, then "or so", the "or so" means up to another 5.
Is English not your first language?"
MID:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"If you live for 4 years and die, you wasted 4 years. If you live for 20
years and die, you wasted 20 years, that's 5 times worse."

Well, you're not "on the job" then, yet.

So all the anatomy and chemistry lessons are unneeded first?

All education is a waste of resources. People should learn on the job.
Then they'd learn what they really need to know, and could start work
far earlier in life.

I don't think I'd want my heart surgeon training that way, sorry...


On the job does not mean with live patients.

You can be in employment. I once worked in a Sky TV call centre. No experience necessary, they took a month to teach people what they needed to know.

So all the anatomy and chemistry lessons are unneeded first?

"I don't think so..."


Those should be done at the place of employment, not in a school or university.

Nothing exotic there construction-wise, certainly...at least from
appearances.

One gathers these are done one-off from the description to justify the
pricing structure and sell as art rather than lighting fixture.


It looked pretty standardised to me.


"One of the benefits of creating hand-machined and hand-assembled
lighting is having a facility where we can show our process to our
clients and other lighting enthusiasts."

But, looking at the web site which also says specifically

"In 2011, a small team with a big passion for design embarked upon a
mission to bring a fresh perspective on lighting technology to an
industry poised for change. Juniper would soon become one of the early
pioneers of the burgeoning Brooklyn contemporary lighting scene..."

"Today, Juniper is a fully-integrated design and manufacturing studio.
Honesty, passion, and craftsmanship are fundamental in our quest to
bring upscale architectural lighting to homes, offices, and hospitality
spaces worldwide. Juniper has recently expanded its location as an
architectural lighting company into a New York showroom and
manufacturing facility in Connecticut."

If you're going to support that kind of high-end product, volume is
necessarily going to be low and margins will have to be high to make
things work...until the niche market becomes large enough the knockoffs
show up, anyway.

I'd guess there are a lot of laser slotters there or they buy the tubing
already slotted from the manufacturer.

I thought you meant I could say "I want one that looks like this". But the page seems to suggest you just get the hexagon.
