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...

Hi PPN It just might be worth reaching out to him again. I know that, sadly, he's been very ill, but he may well have recovered - I really don't know. I'm not on IG atm but if you are he was active there a while ago. If that fails Dave @underdog fixes old PDs so he'd probably be happy to...

Hmm.. so you'd need a log with a heater cover/core diameter with either a 12mm external diameter so that the stem could go over the heater cover or with a 14mm internal diameter so that the stem could go into the heater cover. So to get this to work you'd have to buy a length of stainless steel...

I don't have an Arizer stem to hand. Could you tell me what the internal diameter of the stem is?

I love that 'chalice' shape on a log. What wood is it? Looks beautiful. :peace:

Here's my modest collection: The Chico Claro Walnut in the middle is 8 years old this month - still looks great and works perfectly. Left is a really stunning Chinese Pistache and right is the gorgeous Hackbery. Seasonal greeting to Dave, Amanda - and Dog owners everywhere. :peace:

Hi and welcome @Stompopolos We'd be happy to hear any more details on the GTR core if you're willing to share. Good luck with your project and please keep us updated. :peace:

Very tidy work @darkstar72 - excellent progress! I see you've recessed the jack connector into the body of the log which can be quite tricky to get right so well done! Are you happy with the performance you're getting? Keep up the good work :tup: :peace:

Hi @darkstar72 Sounds like you're making good progress :tup: Any chance of some pictures and/or build descriptions on the first two units? It's always fascinating to hear how people deal with the various processes involved with making a log. And the third log - what heater will you be using...

@erka - yes, @Vaporooni is correct, those are the good ones. Keep us updated on your project. Bonne chance :tup: :peace:
