Yes it's a 30l drum next to it, I left it there for a bit of scale for the pic
It's a bit of a weapon.
I'm a bit sad that grape season is pretty much over around these parts. I wonder if it would be any good for apples?

Great pick up. I bought a near identical one off an italian guy up in sydney for $80 and thought it was a steal, free is awesome. Not really designed for apples but core and crush them and pack in cheesecloth and it should go ok. Grainandgrape have some great fruit crushers.

I reckon it's got to be worth more even as scrap metal :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Yer, and I promised "wait for it" a 900mm piece. God knows how long it's been gone for even know it was in the front yard I never seemed to notice till I went to cut it in half today once the rain cleared.
AND IT WAS GONE!

That's pretty rough. I'd sit something else out there worth pinching and stake yourself out in a dark corner with a big stick and teach the bastards a lesson when they come back :twisted:

Got a nice little pickup off gumtree today

Metal cut off band saw with trolley...... $100
Not too bad, already have a makita cut off saw but I think these band saws give a much cleaner and square cut

Picked up 2x30 litre fermenters and 60 bottles (homebrew beer) for $50 recently.

And a few weeks ago as mentioned in my thread i picked up 2x50 litre kegs for $50. Very happy with that. Just have to build a boiler and can devote one to storage for low wines.
