I like the creativity and am planning a new parrot in the future to hang on my new rig.
PS: Don't let that parrot sit too long or it might form cob webs :D

Looks like you've been watching OC Choppers. They do a lot of the spider web stuff on their builds. Looks pretty cool :thumbup:

12 inches of 1"
2- 1" caps
1- 1 1/2" x 1" reducer
about 22" total of 3/8" tubing

it was fun to make ...the 1 1/2 x 1 reducer was 10.00 had to get it at a HVAC shop...as my local big box store doesnt have anything over 1"

What a difference between this thread and this one http://homedistiller.org/forum/viewtopi ... 6#p6972166

I guess it's the difference between a genuine hobby shiner and a fuckwit. Nice, skillful touch on a lovely parot. :)
