PIRATE SONG

With International Talk Like A Pirate Day almost here - Sep.19
I've decided to contribute my Pirate Song.

PIRATE SONG

Oh, we sail the seven seas,
Adventuring we go,
We like to stay relaxed,
And take it nice and slow.

( Start of Chorus ) 
There is just one thing
That will get me in a state,
When you take the ‘P’ off pirate…
(SHOUT) I become irate.
(Make angry noises) Grrr Grrrr
( End of Chorus )

Robo Brush

I re-purposed a vintage vortex mixer (test tube mixer) to make an electric scrubber
- saves me a lot of work.
Shown here with optional blade sharpener attached.

The Anatomy Lesson


While  I was busy pointing out the finer details of the anatomy inside a lizard my partner took this photo  without anyone noticing it was being done.
Some Dutch bloke called Rembrandt tried to do a similar picture:

But I think Donna's is better.

A Better Sediment trap; for potters etc.

I was asked to design a sediment trap that could cope with several litres per minute of heavily sedimented water.
Came up with this cheap and easy to build design that uses less space than the conventional approach and is light and easy to clean out.
