That is truly terrible. (just kidding)
I think you should post them to me and just start again. (serious)
But don't take 2.5 years next time. (double serious)

Haha it was terrible at 5am when I woke up and realised what I'd done. Not sure about starting again though. I don't think I could handle all those cuts again!

Back at work for 2 weeks now but will be all hands on deck when I get back home. Placing an order with 5 star tomorrow for some bits and pieces so hopefully they will arrive before I do. Getting excited again myself db!

Good work Bob. Coming along nicely. What length did you go for with your shotgun condenser and what size heating element will you be using?

Thanks mate, I think it's 500mm? I'll have to double check when I get home. I've cut it up but haven't started on it yet.

Another update on the last few arvos.
Been taking my time as per usual which is frustrating as I'm hanging out to get away from the neutrals! :angry-banghead:

Finished off the bubble caps and about to solder in the tubes to the PC.

Bit more copper porn for you footy bastard :laughing-rolling:

Also to the ones that have built their own would this be an alright idea for soldering to the PC / RC? Even cutting it in half and include use both pieces?

Figure it would be easier to just connect hose straight up instead of having 1/2 tube hanging out.
Or am I missing something?

Some have done just that bob. I am glad I went with pipe and a bsp fitting so connectors are changeable. I am on my third lot fittings. I think I am finally happy...
