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

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)?
:rolleyes:

May help if we knew what it states on the label ( circled red )
Click to expand...
It is in Latvian, but, if it can help, there you are :D 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?

Nope! Right now there is no more white stuff, I mean not at all. That was not an oxidation. :-rofl2
 
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!
 
Right, that was an ice. One question is answered :D
 
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 )
 
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. :-doh
 
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?
 
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!
