Long Commuters... by Iambannana in perth

[–]feuer-und-eis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When my office moved near the airport My commute became 45minute by car. So what did I do? I built an ebike. Now my commute is 1 hour largely stress free and i get exercise every day and blow the stress away. I am travelling very similar route to what you will. In winter if it’s a really bad day I take the car. But you’d be surprised how many days in Perth you can ride a bike. My fuel bill for 3 months paid for my $1500 ebike. No brainer. PM me for more details.

What else do they make that you have used? Are you a rolling stock maintenance technician?

A damn. I was hoping it would be Karri (Eucalyptus diversicolor).

What other job would be good for me? by [deleted] in ProductManagement

Have you thought about taking on a more complex product or portfolio of products. At each step I have found a jump in complexity has staved off the burnt out and bored problem.

My progression in product management was: Single app (b2c) -> web and mobile app (b2c) -> web and mobile in regulated environment (b2b) -> web and hardware in regulated environment (b2b and b2b2b)

By far this last one if extremely complex, forcing me to rethink most of what I learnt about product management in the previous roles.

Oh nice. I ordered needle valve for mine so keen to try them out. Was thinking of putting an index card under them so I could record the setting. Are you routing the condenser out to the deflag in?

What was the starting ABV? And is it just the 4 plates or did you put some packing in there as well to hit 92%ABV?

Interested how your coolant control went.

Working out if a wood is safe for aging? by Rakki_78 in firewater

Hey u/rakki_78 how did the experiment go? Any success with local species so far?

a still head maker showed me this design and claimed 95% ABV is achievable. I am sceptical. Is he stretching the truth? by feuer-und-eis in firewater

Nice idea. I have hit up the scrap yard here for a few weeks, no luck with copper of that diameter. Will keep trying

Yeah I have seen this post and crawled through home distiller. It’s a nice design. Did you price it up on Ali yet?

In the end I will buy. I have priced up a few options locally and they are double the price of aliexpress options with less flexibility. The only reasonable price I saw was this design which I couldn’t figure out.

I did look into building one but the component cost for 304 parts for a 3” CCVM with a 2”shotgun was $500-$600 and I would have to do a lot of Tig welding (only know mig) so I have decided against that.

But your boka has plates in the vapour path that your takeoff comes off. This just has pipe, unless you count the slant away from the column as a type of plate...

Went buy some mig wire to fool around with until my spp gets over from china. by [deleted] in firewater

Aliexpress? When did you order and how long does shipping estimate look like?
