This thread is now into Construction issues and not images anymore. Thus, good material is being lost here, buried deep in the replies to some posted images.
I choose to create a FAQ and discuss the machining off of the weld lip on the rings in the Construction forum you can find that discussion at......

Progress may have been a good thing once, but it just went on too long. - Yogi Berra
Fusion is the energy of the future....and it always will be
The more complex the idea put forward by the poor amateur, the more likely it will never see embodiment

In regards to the strength - I never know what people are going to do with them once they leave my control. Better safe than sorry.
I'll follow Richard's lead and jump over to the other thread to respond to your questions about the spherical shape of the chambers.

Re: Archived - Fusor progress, info & photos PLASMA IGNITION
I got the new chamber on Saturday, so I assembled everything and turned it on.
The plasma photos were taken with pressure around 125 microns, voltage between 3000 and 4000 volts, current between 10-15 mA.
I had some arcing issues with the ceramic, it's all been removed.
The grid was formed the same way as Andrew Seltzman's:

By "same way" I mean the way the stainless steel is bent with the slotted pipe. Not the cooling part.
