I am thinking we could all get together and build a still to give away as a xmas present to someone, I'm not sure how it could happen but my thoughts are.

So, if a few members here handy with still building could get together and build a component of a bubbler each we could give a less fortunate member a still for xmas

The gift would go to a member after being voted by a poll.

I'll build a couple of shotgun condensers with easy flanges, 1 product condenser and 1 reflux condenser & other builders here could chip in to complete a bubbler.

I would like to see a member who has been here for a while that doesnt have the skill set to build a bubbler ultimately end up with a bubbler built by members of this forum, I'm sure most of us with building experience can contribute in some way.

So lets discuss our options & preferences to get this underway, and how we can help out a member less fortunate than the majority.

Everyone's input is welcome on how this should happen & who ends up with it.

Over to you lot :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I cant build for shit, but I would certainly donate to the cause :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Great idea Mac, would love to contribute build wise but there's many more here with the bubbler know how. Would like.to.contribute in any way I can.

yeah I could chuck in a parrot that needs a little touch up :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I'll chuck in 5 x 2" sight glass ferrules with backing rings, notched to suit a 4" column.

Assuming it goes as you say mac, sounds like a good idea.

Well, crow's got the parrot covered, so I cant do that.

I'd love to help, give me p.m if you can think something I can do :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I'd also like to nominate that poor unfortunate soul Croweater as recipient of said still :teasing-tease:

Good move Mac,

Reality is your build quality exceeds most here so best we focus on parts supply or donation I guess.

I'm in.

bt1

Count me in mate,not that I got much time to do fuck all,but,more than willing to chip in and help in any way possible :handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Any need for a 1/4" needle valve? I've still got one laying around somewhere

Sorry guys I was trying to imply I would supply a couple of condensers, others can supply bits to complete the still and maybe a member here could stick it together.

Currently I'm struggling to keep up with demand and dont really have time to build a complete freebie, that would certainly be unfair to my paying customers that are waiting.

I reckon with the spirit here we can pull it off :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Think you might have to delegate who's making what :?:
I'd like to help, but don't know what to make :think:

O.k boys & girls, I am building a new still & my current bubbler needs a new home & Mac has decided to accept
it as the xmas still & will be supplying some some sight glasses & other bits :handgestures-thumbupleft:
The lucky recipient will be asked to make a donation to the Salvos.
Over to you Mac.

Cheers :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I'll have a bit of a think about how this should happen and will gladly accept ideas about how this should run.

However it eventuates the the new owner will be announced on xmas day.

Wow mr, that's a very generous offer of you!!!!. We'll done.mate, some good karma coming your way :handgestures-thumbupleft: . We'll done to you to Mac :handgestures-thumbupleft: .

It was Macs idea & every still should feel wanted :laughing-rolling:

mate, you are a very generous bloke MR-E. First doing the fundraiser build and now offering your still for the xmas present! Hats off to you

Top show as always, good on ya mate! :occasion-santa: :text-merryxmas:

Yep, great idea and very generous indeed :)
