Re: the penny whistle experiment
i was thinking of a gin basket and was wandering if i could use a piece the same size as my deflag but just with a perferated plate in it that i set the herbs on. if it was the same size as the deflag, i could just switch the two out without, messing with the produce condensor heigth. my main question is,,, do yall think that the gin basket (that i described) would work? or might i be missing something?

Re: the penny whistle experiment
Question for Od,,, I put my laquer on my condensors today, and after I did this, I relised that one of my welds on the water inlet was weak, and broke loose. I need to fix the weld, but it has already been laquered. Do you have a y suggestions on how to reprep the finish and fix the weld?//
thanks

How far back from the weld do you usually sand?///Kentucky shinner wrote:no problem there spooky I have done it several times. Just sand the area clean of the lacquer. flux and solder then add more lacquer.
works great
Does it discolor the remaining lawquer? This is on a engine turned piece, so I need to keep the sanding to a minimal because it will mess up the finish

Thanks

I doubt spooky is around anymore.. so i'll ask the remaining HD Braintrust n hopefully someone knows the answer..
That engine turning is SUPER cool. Can you do it on stainless?
