Welcome to the forum, love the name "running with scissors" lol, I actually did that once and ended up shoving them straight through my sister's hand who was chasing me to get them off me, I turned to face her and she tried to hit me so my natural instinct was to raise my hand to defend myself, and the scissors just happened to be in that hand:eek: needless to say I never ran with scissors again, I was six at the time and my sister was nine:)

If you have vintage iwatas you will probably find that the only difference with newer ones is the presence of Teflon seals most of the later models make thrm safe for urothanes and such, you can reokace tge seaos if you think you need to, other than that a decent service would bring your stock up to date, there is plenty of info here to help you with that if you need it, you can also just ask anything you like, we do our best to help.

Use the search function at the too of the home page and type "fez air" this is a thread from one of our members who built his own silent fridge compressor, this may help you understand your build better, but again feel free to ask, pist photos so we know exactly what your query is about.

If you post any photos, they need to be under 1MB so you might need to resize them to post them or you can embed thrm from a third party hosting site such as Google photos or Facebook and the like.

Get your questions coming, there is always someone on hand to get you sorted and responses are usually fairly quick:)

Welcome t the forum. You don't need to be able to draw. It does help but is not vital. There's lots to learn as you are probably finding out and you will get frustrated along the way but that's where we come in. So resist launching the ab and come and talk to us first.
