If one was of a certain mind the off cut of copper piping shown could be used for the purpose of lets say...making a worm for a still, but then that would be illegal wouldn't it? The last of the seasons apple crop not turned into cider (hmmmm cider just what could be done with excess cider?) is now just food for the horses although my mother seems to rather like spongy wrinkled apples and who am I to deprive her of such a delicacy?

Bad to the core

dust off the rocking chair and pass me my banjo.
Waste not, want not.
Dearest Mother has always been that way with apples, she hates the crunch of the skin. You can solve that little problem for her quickly by turning the remainder of your apples into something more liquid...hic!
I thought it was only illegal if you got caught drinking it, as your a builder I would have thought turning unwanted apples into spirits would be a help in your endevours to get the correct colours and thickness for your French polish in your main room, after all all that wood panelling doesn't clean itself, it is in a Grade II listed building, besides a few pints to plod and a lockback , I don't think plod would be bothered.
Albert...sounds like a plan.
is that how you do a still? - very cool, never knew that. And are they really illegal, it's not the 1930's again is it? have just watched The Artist and feel still time warped...
Speaking of mushy apples-- it's really odd how different they taste when they go mealy, isn't it? I don't like them that way. I have good teeth, but they don't line up properly , so biting off apple bits is painful and something I'm quick to avoid. OTOH, served with a nice stinky cheese and some wine, I'm down for some pre-sliced apples. :) Or the cider* form is nice, too.
*English version of cider, of course, and not the neutered American version, tyvm.
