Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

so I made a test video of one of many ways I plan to share my favourite Blue barrel stencil.

the video doesn't show that the best thing to do is glue it all on some cardboard (or what ever you plan to make the stencil from) then cut out.

As it is only worth making a stencil if you plan to use it lots I a have another way to find a curve for the barrel. it doesn't have the slight mods from my favourite one that hug grab and relax the barrel in such a way that allowed me to make the bed stands from one barrel 7cm higher for the system in the picture below, but it was they way I did it before the stencil.

Great work Nat.

I like to pretend that I'm drilling all of these for my system. It makes drilling 25000 holes more fun

Wow!
Those shavings would actually make a good bio filter material?

You get all the good jobs Nat...

The big bag of cut pipe looked a bit like a santa bag....

Did you count the holes Nat..?

Just on a few so I would have a number multiply by 177 (the number of media guards) there was 25000 holes give or take 700

I bet your pretty quick at that, Nat.

Nat I hope Joel paid you by the hole

Retail... or holesale rate....

lol I should ask for 10c a hole or 8c a hole that will get me the courtyard system

Oh I see, so those 177 media guards aren't for your blue barrel system Nat???

Nat,

If you had only one blue barrel, which way would you recommend to cut. Two long halves, or two shorter round halves.
