Tig does look the bollox doesn't it.

Anyhow, only a little step forward this week but I found some pipe clips that I can weld/bolt on to the table legs. Should secure the 2 mag pumps nicely.

Wahoo! An item I had on ebay has just sold so I have the funds to complete. And 10 mins later Angel homebrew sent me a message saying the 38.5 thermo pots were back in stock!!

The beer gods were looking after me tonight.

Cut out some acrylic with a jigsaw, made round with a rasp and scraped edges with a sharp steel edge.

Looking nice mate, those thermo pots are pretty swanky. So glad my tun died so it gave me a reason to buy one.
