Nice work sir, hat off to you. I'm no
good at that sort of thing. Can you
make me one, would suitably reimburse
you for your craftsmanship.

I still haven't found the time to get this one finished, I test a glass and then go to
bed without tasting notes being made.

You can have this one, it will need a thorough clean and then another clean, a polish and a deep clean before putting anything valuable in it
, I have tested it with Iso and it all stayed in , no leaks i could detect but it needs cleaning and then cleaning some more
PM me a safe address and I will get it away for you.

Thanks Robert, not sure I understand completely but i'm glad I found this place and you guys otherwise I would still be tapping the white stick.
Anyway when I first started with the airstill I bought one of these oak bottles from a guy on that auction site, i followed the instructions to soak the bottle before filling it and... yes it split down one side losing the contents... grrr complain, the guy very apologetic sent me a replacement and yes.... that one split too. grrrrrrr... are these fubar'd ? i thought about putting a jubilee clip around them or even gluing them with something organic wood sap? any suggestions appreciated.

Re: What I Did Today
Hold on to that idea about a CD.....talk to Anavrin first, as I know he's told me that he's was thinking of using his old column again rather than the CD...just a thought from me.

I tried to be normal once, worst two minutes of my life.
