But then again this is a discussion on parrots that you have built not a thread about how to minimise smearing.

Good point,
and IMHO 'yours' is more-than-fine (in appearance) and I trust it serves you well.

+1 Frank, that's why mine is confined to my stripper kit. I also draw off the Fores even before letting anything into the parrot, can't see the point of using any other time though

Q: Parrot anyone?
A: No thanks mate, they simply provide further complexity by smearing cuts (IMHO)

No matter, they are a great exhibition of metalcraft result (as your examples show) AND certainly have found their place in necessary distiller tool folklore.

Very artistic SP. I've also made many variants over the years and had loads of fun and frustration making them too. They can be quite fiddly when trying to solder multiple joints that are close together It's why I have so little hair these days.

I like these, but I am always left feeling that a refractometer does the job better for just a few bucks off eBay.
