Yeah, who wants a Micky Mouse dish anyway?

So, you wouldn't be interested in something like this, then?

(Ignore the CM100 and the odd Polar mount)

Of course I would be interested in something like that. It does not have big ears, black nose, white gloves and speaks with annoying voice.
( Nice treader BTW )

Aint it better to make a (wooden) copy of that foot plate with bended threaded rods and put them at the correct place before to fill the concrete ?

I will rethink this. I have couple of friends here, who tell that they've seen lots of heavy constructions fixed to concrete surfaces by using anchor-bolts. I could make couple of metal plates with holes like stand has, connect those plates with 20mm threaded rods and put this construction in the hole.

Now wait a minute...!

I said "installed " ;)

 

[RimaNTSS]

Not much to update on new platform project, just got 4 x 20mm x 1000mm threaded bars and box of nuts.

 

[RimaNTSS]

Got those 3 items today. 2 metal plates ~60x60cm will be used under antenna stand to hold together 8x20mm threaded rods. Red ballon (my next project) would probably better fit to another thread in this forum. I have only 3 questions:
- To which thread the red ballon would better fit, and what could be my next project with it? ;)
- What is white stuff on the ballon (circled blue)?
- What is white stuff on the metal plates (circled yellow)?

May help if we knew what it states on the label ( circled red )


PS, wear gloves!

It is in Latvian, but, if it can help, there you are Label says something like "Highly flammable" . CJ probably has such a ballon at his Dacha in RUS.

It is a propane gas canister of some description. Guess the " white stuff " is a form of oxidation made worse by an escape of the gas at some time?

 

[RimaNTSS]

is a form of oxidation made worse by an escape of the gas at some time?

Nope! Right now there is no more white stuff, I mean not at all. That was not an oxidation.

 

[Archive4]

ok, so you deliberately punctured it, causing a rapid escape of gas, causing ice to form on the canister and the plate it was stood next to!

 

[RimaNTSS]

Right, that was an ice. One question is answered

 

[Archive4]

I take it I got blue correct, not sure of yellow, but as to what you are going to do with it, I have no idea. ( I assume it is legal )

 

[RimaNTSS]

Will give some hints:
- In yellow, that stuff is not flammable at all, in fact it is heat resistant, but could be very dangerous for our health.
- Red canister would relate to the post in which you posted yesterday at 8:21 PM (time zone difference possible). What i am going to do is perfectly legal.

Yellow could be asbestos, I think, need to back track re the use of the canister!

 

[Archive4]

OK, Don´t think you have Triffids, cannot think why you would want a sea water container, unless you prefer your fish very fresh.
Some kind of flame throwing device? Home made gas welder?
Or , self positioning satellite dish using gas powered thrusters to maintain correct geostationary position?

 

[RimaNTSS]

Right, it is asbestos.
But, till you go too far .... canister will become new grill. Will cut it in parts, one part will work like a hatch on hinges.

Oh! What a shame, the thought of a self positioning dish ....... Wow!

like this ones ?
