Ye Gods.

Was it really June 2016 when I started this project... Jeezzz...where did that time go???

2017 was not a good year for us, but with a clean bill of health, we can now get back to doing what we like best.

When I tidied the outhouse up over chrimbo I came across the column that I had started back in 2016....along with the thumper that I had finished and was in the middle of sorting out how to attach to a new shorter column I'd knock up.

I didn't make any new year resolutions at the time but I'm going to try one now...and that is to do my darnedest to finish off the Icebot and see the smegging thing work.

I do like the photo of the Golden syrup waiting patiently in the wings.

DO you have to solder it all? I saw a good idea where some major larger joints where sleeved with rubber tube. I thought at the time very neat idea. Made cleaning easier and storage.

Time for an update....free day today from work so I thought lets get on with the build.

I've got the 3" ferrule fixed to the bottom of the column....

Then the 76mm x 54mm reducer was fixed at the top..

Next came the "head"..."THE ICE-BOT" lives...explode into maniacal laughter.

This shows the one side of the PC...

I must admit I'm not looking forward to starting on the PC... all that soldering.

Looks nice. I am biased because this is my favoured head design.

Day off today so thought I'd get on with the new column build...

I hope to get it finished in the next couple of weeks...can't wait to run the first wash.
