  1. I've been thinking about attaching an old set of 14" Fender tilt-back legs I have laying around (I think DanL first mentioned that idea a few dozen pages ago).

     

    If they could be set out far enough from the cabinet with a spacer to accommodate attached 12" tall deflectors when they're folded in against the cabinet (attachment idea also first mentioned by DanL, I believe), the legs could be deployed first to tilt it back, the deflectors deployed next . . . and it would start to look like some sort of solar collector/generator device (befitting of the "SpaceStation" nameplate). So now I'm thinking sheet metal or aluminum wings . . .

     

    Seriously though (not that I'm totally joking about building a space station SpaceStation), some really good ideas floating around here for when a back wall or side reflective surface isn't available. Thanks.

     

     

    I definitely wouldn't use metal wings , they can vibrate and transmit - even cause unwanted noise.

    (the crocodile think tank :D )

  2. It's as easy as falling off a log >

    1. Go into flicker and click on your photo you want to send here

    2. When you click on your photo , you will see a sweeping arrow at bottom right

    3.Click on the arrow and choose BBCode & 1024 x 768 in the box , right click to "copy" the blue code

    4.Click "reply" here at this site -so the cursor line is flashing, then right click "paste" here.

  3. Firstly , the woodpecker (especially) looks like a stuffed dead thing out of someones attic.

    When weasels attack , they sink these teeth into the neck of their prey and hang on like a dog with a bone > http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_0SFysZh3Drs/SJCQsQ_yIBI/AAAAAAAAAIM/Ry3J6b8tuIg/s400/+weasel+teeth+2463.JPG

     

    And the BBC?? :D ......won't say anymore about them.

    Hmmmmmmmmm........interesting, but I am not entirely convinced....... The weasel must be hanging on in the manner you suggest, or he would have fallen off. I wonder what other people think ......... The pic still looks genuine to me, but It is entirely possible that I am extremely gullible...........One thing I do know: should I ever visit your part of the world, I will stay well clear of your attic! ;)

     

    We won't go near the attic , there are 6" spiders in there.

    I will pick you up from the airport , and take you on a cool tiki tour to see the golden rivet :D......

     

    Mike W. , experts have said it's another shop job , and I have zoomed into the picture myself and seen the weird grainyness around the edges of the bird and weasel - which is NOT hanging on for dear life or attacking with it's jaws holding tight.
