The Art of Making a Nixie Tube
Dalibor Farný
Dalibor Farny documents the hand manufacture of a nixie tube, from glassblowing to evacuation, with text notes rather than narration. He revived the lost craft of nixie tube making.
HN commenters call it mesmerizing and a great look at how things are actually made by a dedicated craftsman.
