Newby from Oz here.
I stumbled onto the forum while doing some pre-purchase research, and haven't stopped reading for the last few days!
The father-in-law runs a couple of Turbo500s and I was thinking of getting one, but decided to see what the interwebs could tell me first.
Turns out it's probably not what I really want, as I'd love to make more then just neutrals.
I have also fallen in love with some of the beautiful flutes I've seen on this site!
Unfortunatly for me ,my fabrication skills are unlikly to be upto the task of creating one of the beauties. Some welding, brazing, soldering and even machining is ok, but the whole column looks a little daunting.
I'm planning on putting a spare 50l keg that has been hanging around for years to good use as a boiler, and probably lpg (propane) heat it.
I may end up buying a hillbilly flute, haven't enquired yet if they would make it through Australian customs?
If there are any other members out there that would take on a flute build for me I would love to hear from you....
For now, I'll keep reading and learning, the level of knowledge a community like this has as a group is amazing, and moreso that so many are happy to share!
Cheers
