Only put casters on it if they are fixed to a board and the extractors fixed to that, fixing them direct to the legs will end in tears as there is too much torque the transmitted through the leg nearest the motor which will buckle the bottom of that leg.
That sounds like the voice of experience ....
Only safe way to do it
Yep, luckily I was keeping a close eye as I was experimenting with the whole setup - in the end I had to settle for two casters and just a block under the foot where the motor was fixed, but there was still excessive force on the other two castered feet.
Possibly. Maybe the members of your association look after the equipment better than ours seem to!
Yes checked this too, the legs come off easily, also with the radial the central cage comes out easily by undoing 2 bolts so easy to clean.
I wouldn’t trust anybody with my Abelo 20 frame.
Yes agree with you & I’ve recommended we do just that. Pay a deposit and refund accordingly on the condition it’s returned in. For discussion at our next meeting!
That was the problem with our Association extractor ... people only did half a job of cleaning it and people used to get mighty off piste when they had to clean it properly before it could be used .. it too was a fairly big extractor and I think only the small manual one now never gets used and the big electric one I think is only used by the member who stores it for us. Most people seem to have their own. A deposit against it being returned clean and in good order might help but who polices the return ?
Historically ours gets used weekly in the summer and sept. Usually returned in good condition but not everyone has a jet washer! I don’t store ours but will def use.
Maybe remind them that they cant take it with them, then request that they sponsor an apprenticeship placement in order to benefit the future of the club,
Not a hope - have given up as I now have a wife with alzheimers as my top priority to care for. Had to learn how to do a pedicure a few weeks ago. Such fun!!Maybe remind them that they cant take it with them, then request that they sponsor an apprenticeship placement in order to benefit the future of the club,
Apart from extraction and processing (which generally you would only do once or twice a year) there is not much else in the way of equipment that is bulky and only needed on an infequent basis that you have not covered in what you have already agreed to purchase. Anything else is going to be something that people need all the time and buy themselves.
Antiseptic wipes and it's sorted, we never had personal issue facemasks for using with our CABA fire rescue sets, just a good clean with some antiseptic wipes after wearing one was sufficient, the mask then being stored in a drawstring bag
The other thing you might consider is equipment for making foundation. A decent size double boiler and a foundation press. Although I don't use foundation I have one similar to this I picked up from a company in Lithuania for about £40 and it really works quite well. You might canvas your members to see if any of them would be interested in making foundation from their own wax ? Our association has one (somewhere) but I've never been able to track it down ... one of our members has one and we bring that out and make foundation at the Bees and Honey weekend we run every year at a local model farm.
Post-covid you might not get so many people willing to accept antiseptic wipes!
When I had my spraying company we had airfed masks which had to be shared - I had sanitising sprays that were used to cleanse them in between issues. I would suggest that facemasks could be loaned out with similar hygiene in place but people would have to purchase their own filters which could be retained for their personal use with the basic mask.
you have a point - it seems that most in Engerlund seem to be unwilling to consider wearing masks in the first instance
