:laughing-rolling:
Hey! Don't you try to take my title as worlds best sprinkler maker :teasing-tease:
As Sam said, just consider it a pre barrel self watering down device, now you've invented something new :laughing-rolling:
Is it fixable?

[Zak Griffin]

Fixed! Complete, no leaks, I have an RC!

And, with the RC done, I now have a complete (windowless) 4" 4 plate bubbler!

The rest of the clamps and seals are on their way, and I'm going out to Bryan's next week to sort the windows out :happy-partydance:

Had some daylight left so I got stuck into the Infinite Improbability Drive. Got the gin basket slotted with a tack of hard solder

And rolled up a 3/8" easy flange ring for the top of the thumper (bottom of the the carter head). I'll use 6x 6mm stainless rods to hold the glass in place between this ring and the bottom plate.

Pile of carter head bits. Just need the glass and bolts, and a bottom plate for the gin basket :happy-partydance:

[EziTasting]

Great effort, Zac. Can't wait for it to be finished ... so, hurry up, would ya!! :wtf:

:D Looking forward to the polished end product, should be a doozy!

[Zak Griffin]

Cheers lads. I can see the end now! :music-deathmetal:

[rumdidlydum]

Looking good there mate :happy-partydance:
Did the rc seal up forst go?
Better put down a sac wash soon :teasing-tease:

[Zak Griffin]

Pretty much, a couple of little pinholes but it didn't take much to sort them out :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Got half a keg full of old heads here for the sac run... First up will be a whole heap of CFW!

[Zak Griffin]

Just bought the nuts and bolts for the carter head sightglass. After I bought 5 of everything I realised that the SG's on the plate modules have 6 screws. That should get my OCD tingling! :laughing-rolling:

[aussiebrewer]

decisions decisions :laughing-rolling:

[Zak Griffin]

I won't be able to see all 5 at the same time anyway... And if it bothers me ill just sip on the distiller's privilege until it doesn't :laughing-rolling:

[aussiebrewer]

sight glass lens on the carter head? or sight glass tube?

[Zak Griffin]

Sight glass tube... Still haven't got around to buying the glass though :laughing-rolling:

[Zak Griffin]

Paid for on Friday, in my mailbox this morning :handgestures-thumbupleft: cheers Al and Sue, Five Star comes through with the goods once again :happy-partydance:

The last pieces of the Heart of Gold puzzle :music-deathmetal:

[Bumper]

I envy your skills Zak :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[Zak Griffin]

Skills are nothing special mate, anyone could do it :handgestures-thumbupleft:

image.jpg

Not sure why it's on the piss, I'll have a play around after the SG's are done but I think it'll sort itself out.

:music-deathmetal: :happy-partydance:

[coffe addict]

Looking pretty good I'd be running it while you wait windows. Just for testing lol

[rumdidlydum]

Sweeeeeeet :music-deathmetal:

[Zak Griffin]

Cheers lads. Windows are going on on Saturday :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Still need to wire up the element and sort my cooling out too

[aussiebrewer]

looking good.

as for the on the piss, looks like its leaning back away from the PC side, i say leave it, might help distribute weight when carter head is on if it leans away from it and be better balanced :think:

just the look that would be compromised

[Doubleuj]

Can't wait for the sight glasses :handgestures-thumbupleft: looking good.
Are you sure your sheds not on the piss..?
