I use #400 ss mesh for glare reduction but @blokenoname 's #200 works fine, too. Cut a strip 1.5cm wide, about 6cm long, fold it over 5 times, trim the four corners slightly, sandwich it between two debris screens and insert it into the heater cover. So that's your standard debris screen and...

Hi @jackrod and welcome. Great to see a new log maker. Don't worry about pretty - pretty comes later! Building a working log is the first objective and you seem to be managing fine with that. I'm not going to add much to @darkstar72 's excellent overview of log construction except to add a...

Excellent work @blokenoname Great news about your eyesight and great to have your ingenious DIY posts back on the thread again - welcome back! And I'd like to join blokenoname in offering huge thanks to Dave @underdog for supplying the cores - we'll put 'em to good use. Here's my first log...

Here's my UD chico claro walnut, the oldest of my dogs and now 8 years old - still working fine and looking great. Heartfelt seasonal greetings to Dave and Amanda and all dog owners wherever you are. And very best wishes for the New Year! :peace:

If Salvador Dali made a vape... :peace:

Thanks for the image, it's quite intriguing. Let us know how you get on. :peace:

Hi Lennon. Copper will oxidise over time forming a green patina called verdigris and so is not ideal. Aluminium has been linked to some health issues and so is probably best avoided, It's not entirely clear what you mean by pipe. Perhaps if you could post a picture of the vape you made it...

Sadly true. And no one can tell you how long you have to wait, after consuming cannabis, to drive legally. The law is primarily designed to be punative rather that to be of benefit to public or individual safety. Twas ever thus with cannabis! On a related topic... Anyone tried the Cancard...

Many thanks for starting this thread @VegNVape I haven't come across this info anywhere else. You mentioned in your first post that Mamedica offer prescriptions to veterans. Do you happen to know if being a vet is enough on it's own or would I still need two previous prescriptions from a GP...

Ah, I see. I'd assumed it was a standard prescription which would be free in Wales.

@Dabberhashery Hi mate. All may not be lost! I see a couple of possible workarouds here. Firstly, you could moisten the weed by putting it in a plastic bag with a piece of (say) orange peel and leave it for a few hour. Then put it through a proper curing process. Alternatively, QUISO it...

Many thanks @darkstar72. You're doing well to build logs with a drill press. That's how I drill heater/base wells on the Rustics and it's no easy task getting them perfectly central to the log. I collected some pieces of local oak recently that are suitable for Rustics and they'll have to be...

Thank you @coolbreeze for your kind words. Highly encouraging. I should have added to the post that if anyone has any DIY questions about the log I will, ofc, be happy to answer them. :peace:

My wood supplier recently got in some stock of Leopardwood so thought I'd see if it would suit a log. Here's the result. The 'leopard' patterning is mainly on two sides but the whole log is very attractive. Note the jack connector flush with the side. The vase style shape - waisted near...
