Are YOU a Tootle Puffer??

[Robert Cromwell]

If your Salmon are anything like the ones in the Pacific northwest of the US and Canada they are VERY tasty.

I fished ocean when I lived in FL, now just fresh water on lakes and rivers. Not a bad thing to not be entering the food chain when swimming though

Think I will order me a 510 connector and make one of these.

STEAM PUNK!
think I will use phillister head socket screws though. Aside from the 510 connector I have all the parts. Copper tube, compression rings brass strips, etc.
Might even nickel electroplate it. simple to do.

I was thinking the exact same thing when I watched Todds review of that thing. Already ordered the 510 connection. In my shop it shouldn't take more than a few hours.

You squonk only as much as you vape in one go. I just kept forgetting or over squonking.

I just topup my tanks each morning and I am set for the day. I don't carry any liquid with me unless we are out fishing.

I love some of the squonk boxes though. They are so elegant and curvy. I have always wanted to be elegant and curvy hehe.

My day kit.

I've got one. It's about 20 miles to the east of me. Home of P. T. Barnum, in fact. It's a regular circus.

I see a Hakko FX-888D there!
My Weller TCP is still working, but the old girl is getting a little long in the tooth.

I use a weller with a light dimmer to control the temp. Kinda crude but works. made marks on the dial after checking the tip temp with my infrared thermometer thingy. Someone stole my old weller temp control years ago.... I would still like to kick their butts over that. And would if I caught them.

I was just thinking, good thing my husband didn't see those shop pics... He'd be all "Honey! We gotta go to Harbor Freight!"

[Robert Cromwell]

Didn't see much harbor freight stuff there. Looked like authentic stuff and not clones.
