    What other hobby's do you have?

    Is suspected that may have been the way it was done but wanted to see if it was some sort of black magic moulding technique ;) Would vac forming over a single piece mould have been strong enough for the body rather than a 2 piece mould? True craftsmanship can't be rushed....

    What other hobby's do you have?

    I'm intrigued as to how the dimpled holes are achieved? if it's not a trade secret ;) It's something I do in metal reasonably often but have never seen it in wood.

    What other hobby's do you have?

    The top one is absolutely beautiful imo the tortoise shell back and dimpled sound holes make it a stunning piece.

    rugby world cup

    This is something that I actually agree with doing assuming that your national championship is at a high enough level. If a player is willing to play nationally for less money for the prospect of being selected for the national team surely that's a good thing. It makes sure that the players...

    newzealand scapers. ? How big is the scene?

    You'd need to look into the import laws as I believe there is an approved list of species allowed in and if it's not on the list then no chance, not to mention you will be fined heavily or even imprisoned for breaching them. The best place to start regarding any imports would be NZ MAF as they...

    "Hands off my hobby"

    There's alot more captive breeding and mariculture (where corals are farmed in the ocean) but there's still alot of wild caught going on. That's kinda my point about tank busters, if someone can afford a 5000gal tropical pond they can afford to spend a couple of hundred pounds on a large...

    "Hands off my hobby"

    Agreed, when you can walk into shop and buy something like an arowana or redtail catfish for under £15 it makes them throw away. I tend to avoid shops that actively stock tankbusters.

    Land Rover 90

    If your trying to get away from the electrics a 300Tdi would seem to be your best bet, the td5 and later will need diagnostic equipment to deal with faults although it seems the td5 is considered pretty reliable.

    What sort of age defender are you looking at?

    DIY Twinstar thoughts?

    Also another interesting thing to note is that the article linked suggest that pgm electrodes are not the best choice for O2/O3 production but are well suited to the production of free chlorine from chloride. Now I'm not sure about others but I'm pretty sure the levels of chloride in my tank...

    When I get hold of some mesh I'm going to give this a go using different electrode spacing and a laboratory power supply to work out best voltage/current combo

    This will alternate which electrode is the anode/cathode theoretically extending their life. Given the low cost of the stainless I doubt many are bothered about this.
