homemade chip jar

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

anyone have a good source for a homemade chip jar? including tubing, the jar itself, the barbs/adapters?
I bought some stuff but the threaded adapters had a much smaller inner diameter and the chip has a hard time making it into there.
links would be great!

I made mine from a wal-mart pickle jar, surgical tubing, and some hardware store barbs.

Im still waiting for my cutterhead back, so i haven't got it in place yet, but i sent some talc through it. Seems like it has enough pull with the lamb motor.

Ive also heard of tupperware being used.
