Tubing

We are inevitably pushing closer to the completion of the steaming setup. Better said – it has already been completed. In the process of stitching up a Y joint for our silicone-wire-braided steam guiding tube, I was inspired by the last person in England that professionally stitches rugby balls by hand. There is such a person, she was on the infamous YouTube showing her skills. I was sitting and pondering on how to go about joining the Y, when I remembered the rugby lady. Started out with two pieces of hose, a long nice stainless steel needle and some strong threading, and I ended up with a short, burned piece of dull needle and a very tight Y joint to be siliconed. I give credit to cardiovascular surgeons who have to stitch up blood vessels in a living person, with microscopic tweezers under a magnifying glass. I had the advantage of using a blow torch and some hard stainless tweezers. So.. if you feel you need some surgery, give me a call, I’ll heat up the torch. I have the experience.

This week we plan on running the first tests to see whether this ingenuity actually works or not.. We also have a Facebook page now. Subscribe there, if you wish, or like, if you wish. We like.
