I served my time in england 8O

As a coppersmith

The company that i worked for made stainless steel vats for the brewery industry.

They also made ali vats and various pipe work for the dairy indust

In the old days all the brewery vats were made of copper

hence the tradesman were all coppersmiths

but that all changed to stainless steel

ihave worked in the aero industry macking ali missile casings 8O

i did 2 years in abu dabi working on a petro chem pipe line for an obsen amount of money when i was 22 8O

Now i work for myself

mostley doing stainless work

As you may or may not know i am making those breeding caves, with he help of Michael (The_German) for design and advice. I am now making discus breeding cones and we just mocked up 2 trials and they turned out so well. My old man still has skills on the pottery wheel and i thought it was easy i struggled like all hell to make a simple bowl

This now opens up so much for for clay products, we can make upside down bowls with holes all round to help fry escape from there hungry parents, We can make discus breeding cones even alot easier caves. But the only think keeping me back is what or when will people resort to getting stuff similar from china??

If people got in from china (not sure if china makes these) i wouldn't be able to charge even bare minimum. Not 100% sure yet but the breeding cones will be from $25-$30 may be cheaper but shouldn't be more

[benckie]

3 foot light for the 4 foot and a 2 foot light for the 3 foot should fit under then hood nicly

[cobby]

Hay Shane Double Single what is the best K?

iI thought about using the small 50W hallegons you know the down lights 12 volt but would heat be a prob and would it be to spotlightey ?

Saw some outdoor ones for use under eavs Ror 10$ each at bunnings 8O

What do ya think?
