Here's my latest parrot built for my 50lt still.

I like the idea of a wooden base. It'll keep it nice and stable and purely from an aesthetic point of view think it contrasts really well against the shiny copper.

I'm looking forward to designing and building mine, there's so much inspiration like this around and a real scope to try out something creative without risking loads of expensive copper if it doesn't work.

I made the wooden base for that one was so that the parrot would reach the outlet at the end of my condenser but I've since decided to make something a little more practical.

I'm building a smaller parrot to attach directly to the end of the Liebig outlet. It will have with a small air vent like below.



Having the parrot on it's own stand, then the still on it's own and the collection vessel on its own was just too messy. The new design will simplify things greatly.

One still complete with integral parrot (when required) and DJs for collections.

Evening chaps.

Would somebody please point me in the right direction for the parrot parts list please.

Been looking throughout the site for a while and the link above is no longer clickable.

Cheers.

Yes, for some reason, this pdf was hard to link to.
I hope that it works for you.
Shout up if it doesn't.
It may not be the best parrot, but is certainly a working one,

You could make it easier to solder with a 22mm 10mm tee at the bottom.

... And for the support arm for that matter. Cut in half and filled.

Cheers gents.

We are here to please/help/complicate the best we can
