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 :)

Just finished making a Parrot after a lot of swearing and a few mistakes (first time ever soldering),Im amazed that it looks neat and tidy and no leaks 8) .Just given it a bath in citric acid then another soak in baking soda and a good rinse to clean it up.

I remember that feeling of achievement when I made my first parrot too. Now go build lots of other thing that need soldering, even if you don't really need them - at least that's what I did.
