Does anyone know where you can buy these? I seem to draw a blank everytime I try searching.

@Magnu420 good luck, looking forward to the pics :)

It is essential that the spout is a very tight fit all round in the hole you drill in the reducer shoulder and there should be about 2-3mm of the 8mm tubing visible inside the reducer.

If at first you don't succeed, take it out, clean it down thoroughly, re-flux it and try again and remember - the man that never made a mistake never made anything!

You'll get there.

This might seem obvious to some people but I learned the hard way that, when soldering, if you have a couple of joints together you need to solder them at the same time, and this actually makes the job a little easier.

See if this helps explain a bit better.

Good, then this is a good place to start and practice before you build your own still - you can't put it off forever.

Work with Aidanmacs drawings and get the bits together, soldering them is easy-peasy, there are many do it yourself videos on U-Tube that will show you how to solder them together.

Go-On you know you want to. It's so much nicer when you use your parrot when you made it.

If you can paint by numbers you can make a parrot, trust me.


I see what you're saying, but I dont have any of the equipment either, I'd be reluctant to buy all the stuff just (try) to make a parrot, as I dont have the space for anything but an air still really.

Anyway, not my thread, and i've sorta hijacked it :)

When I made my first one I'd never done anything like that before and I'm not one of those super duper DIY engineers. :-[
