I’m glad your dad was okay, I get really scared when things like that happen.

Buy one with hose, could be found cheap used.
If you already have a propane tank it’s a plus, but the smaller is’nt that pricy either.
If you have tank, hose, regulator (not necessary) i could send you one, i bought 5 new burners for 25kr each at a swap-meet.

I have acetylene and oxygen welding, but I’ll probably run out of gas soon, so I was thinking about something simpler to bring, but you’re right, I have a nozzle with a hose for small bottles, maybe I can solder with that.

When did you plant those?

On Easters, Don. Too late, but we had long period of morning freezes. I had to harvest whole lot because blight kill the weed so fast that even bugs had not enough time to eat it.

Best wishes for fast recovery JO. It seems you arrived just on time. Rest rusts we say overhere, but to much activity on that age is no good either.
One of the things I might regret in life is working to much. Not complaining, i like my work, every day is a party. A lot of laughter and happy clients.
But last year we plussed 30% and this year we already did more than last year. That means no spare time and no time to play with woodgas. Still just a wannabe one in a million 
. And I doubt if I will ever succeed. Feels like loosing and I dont like loosing.
@Johan. Good choice, life is gone before you know.
Now on our way to Barcelona. France is beautifull, yellow meadows as far you can see. Sunflowers and hay.

Almost all plumbing in the US as near as i can tell is moving to pex. Because it is cheaper, easier and expands when it freezes. The crimper is expensive though.
I have a push button start map gas one, which works upside down until solder falls into it…

I think it’s getting too hot for the pex, change a valve that controls the water from the boiler to the tank or back to the boiler, it’s around 90-100 degrees there.
I have pex in to the cabin and had the boiler boil last winter, got a leak in the first joint between the pex and copper then, it might be interesting to fix it with all the water in the cabin.

Correct. The same here. Even crimp behind plaster. Just redid the bathroom and rented a plier for cheap.
Jan is right, not suitable for high temps.

Finally i got my 4 weeks of from work
Until now it’s been raining
So i decided to do some to my woodgas museum/library/ hobby room.
Ofcourse i’ve stuffed more scrap in the room since last time.
The cosy reading corner, more book-shelves needed.
I decided to make a little “industrial design exhibition” instead of having all this stuffed in boxes. Im going to complete it with a red lightbulb and a Klaxon horn with driver (think “submarine diving signal” “Aahoogaa!”
)
My plastic injection molding machine has been missing for years, i found it today.
This is going to be my ignition coil test bench, it’s going into the other room, “the laboratory”.
The brown box is my not-so-handy wood moisture meter, it has also been missing for a while.
I need to get more of these shelves for small stuff, this one contains about 50% woodgas related stuff.
This corner still waits to get in some order.
Some vintage woodgas stuff, observe the charcoal bag.
No place like this is complete without a 30kV Jacobs ladder as window board decoration.

Sometimes the English language has a single word, or phrase that describes clearly and completely.
You have eclectic tastes in your interests Goran.
The common theme is about wave energies. Generated. Concentrated. Directed.

Wow Goran there is a lot of really cool stuff there!
Have you ever used that injection molding machine? What does it make with the current mold in it?
It looks like it is pneumatic or is that large blue cylinder on top the feed hopper?
It has the same general layout as the machines I run at work but it is a lot smaller. I am assuming it is a vintage unit? Probably 40-60 years old?

These pictures made me smile as I look around my shop. I see my Van der Graff generators, a Jacobs ladder and instead of plastic injection, a vacuum forming machine. A friend of mine is dismayed with my eclectic taste and says that I need focus. I have been guided by three criteria for creating my collection: weird, inexpensive and functional.

Goran,
The Jacob’s Ladder in the window should be good for starting rumors and keeping the neighborhood kids away. I like your Tesla corner.

Bruce,
My tastes must be similar to yours. I call mine technological curiosities.
