Alchemy (5)
Laboratory Equipment Inventory
Submitted by DavidM on Sat, 11/15/2008 - 1:27pm.I'm going to use this topic to supply an inventory of the basic equipment needed for an alchemy lab, focusing on the work in the plant kingdom. This is based on what I have in my own lab, and includes glassware which is not necessarily mandatory, but which is very helpful. I've always hated working with substandard tools.

Dear Philosophi:
This is an essay and follow-on notes I wrote during my masters work. It is an
analysis of the diagram we use in the 4=7 hall by my best understanding of
the time. You will note that I had not figured out that the steps of the process
had been scrambled. A pdf file with all of the diagrams should be studied
along with this essay. Please let me know what you think of all this.
Your chief adept,
IO
