•  This is a Juice Reducer for running electrically heated boilers. Jan (Classixs) took me under his wing and told me the exact components to purchase and when the arrived he drew a diagram and talked me through the building of it. I've had it and used it for years now and its been absolutely brilliant running 120v and 240v boilers.

  Dougs Slinkey-tester was the one single inspiration-source behind my slinkey-accessorie.
  I asked Doug for permition to persuit my own Version; which resulted in my slinkey-accessorie. It was my mastermind mechanical inclined friend Ioan who planned and built it.

  Hi Rog, its called Merbau some call it Pacific Teak its a tropical mangrove tree. Its resistant to weather and termites and is used pretty intensively for flooring and pergolas etc in Oz.
  I like it because it stays straight and doesn't cup or warp and takes a varnish or oil finish very nicely.

• That's beautiful wood (and generator setup) - the color reminds me of Padauk which I use occasionally for an accent.
