Ear lobe plugs! |
| DaveH:
Glad you asked Eric :clap: Ear lobe plugs - yikes and pain :clap: John got it 'fire logs' made from 1/3rd paper and 2/3rds wood chips. The paper is soaked for about 12 hours mixed with a paint stirrer then the wood chips are added after soaking for 3hours again mixed together. The mix is poured into a 'mold' (plastic sewer pipe) 300mm long x 110mm dia then squashed with a 3 ton arbor press to expel the water and compress it down to about 150mm long. They are left to dry in the sun for 4 days - store for the winter. Just don't let them get wet :hammer: That's it, my greeny bit for the Planet. :) :) :) :beer: DaveH PS Me thinks you must have big ears Marv :lol: :lol: :lol: |

Just for interest this is what Wiki says about Pap. Pap (play /ˈpɑːp/), also known as mieliepap in South Africa, is a traditional porridge / polenta made from mielie-meal (ground maize) and a staple food of the Bantu inhabitants of South Africa (the Afrikaans word pap is taken from Dutch and simply means "porridge"). Many traditional South African dishes include pap, such as smooth maize meal porridge (also called slap pap), pap with a very thick consistency that can be held in the hand (stywe pap) and a more dry crumbly phutu pap. Which leads me on to "What can I fill a barrel full of to make it lighter?" :beer: DaveH |

Dave My guess would be a wood log to be turned to shape on the lathe. Any prizes for the right guess? I started my reply but got interupted. Looks like I would have been 1/2 right but I guess no cigar. Cheers :beer: Don |
| DaveH:
Don, Sorry no cigar - well 1/2 of one, for having a go :clap: :lol: :beer: DaveH |
