Here goes - as I said it sits between the feet of the nuc and can be made narrower to ensure only the mesh floor is available to the varrox - it was that wide with me for stability and I happened to have an eke I made for a plywood nuc years ago now redundant. the combination of the slot and the fact that only the pan and the foot of the iron is within the eke means that the varrox can't be moved out of position.
No need for faffing around making a hermetic seal around the eke or anything - very little escaped on testing.
Just put the charged varrox down on the metal plate, put eke over then move closed up nuc over the lot
Thanks for the pics. I have placed my order with OH aka 'maker of all things wooden' and hope to be presented with an exact copy in the next few days
