Yes, I know that someone (sorry can't find the thread, or remember who posted it) was building parrots etc, but I'm also getting mails from the yahoo distillers and new_distillers groups.

This link was posted about how to build a parrot and the info/drawing is pretty good. Most of the materials are easily available etc, so I thought I'd post it for some of you to have a look/think about......

I knew there was some info somewhere, but thought the nice line drawing with the spec and tube sizes was good and worth linking.....

The link in Phantom's post below doesn't work anymore because the original post was maliciously deleted by a now banned member.

Here's a working link for anyone interested in making their own parrot.
