Thanks for a really useful 'ible. I'd be inclined to use and anchor that relied on more than one screw. There are fittings available that comprise a tethered ring and a plate with holes for four substantial screws. And an obvious point - test the rig to make sure the ladder (or the rope attaching it to the tether) is long enough to allow you to reach the ground BEFORE you need to use it in anger/terror!

There's no need to spend a huge amount of money on a multimeter. A £15 model will do the job perfectly well.

That's the joy of BritBrek - anything goes! Seriously, great idea - thank you!

What, no black pudding? Seriously though, this looks like a wonderful, heart-stopping way to start a Saturday or Sunday! A nice cup of tea or two and you'll not need to eat again until suppertime.

Haha - at first I wondered if it might be some sort of Art installation. Kinda "What happens to a chicken when a Chef (or Mortician) *doesn't* get to it in time"!

😁 We've all been there - thanks for the 'ible!

One thing I learned from replicating. Lonesoulsurfer's 'ible is that a powerful magnet isn't a great idea. Sure, it hold the components firmly but it also attracts the soldering iron too which is a PITA. Component are light, so less is more in this case and a weaker magnet will work better.

Umm.. I think you mean "Chicken Deconstruction". Decomposition really isn't something you want to associate with food!

I really like the taper you've used on the tops of the legs - very stylish. I have some good pieces of oak that would work well. All I have to do now is find a cheaper alternative to the Arbortech tool!

Thanks for a terrific, comprehensive and well presented instructable. I need to use a CPAP machine (for sleep apnoea) at night - a bit inconvenient when you want to camp out for a few days! I built this battery pack last Summer incorporating a battery, charge controller and an inverter all powered from a 100 watt panel. Ammo cans aren't easy to come by here in the UK so I used a plastic tool box instead. I don't have access to a laser cutter so envy the elegance of your panel! On the top of the box there are switches operating a battery condition meter and an led strip inside the box. I use an automotive battery isolation switch to disconnect the battery and there's a meter showing battery discharge rate and other data. I *love* meters! The unit works well and runs the CPAP machine for ...

The unit works well and runs the CPAP machine for a couple of nights without recharging. It's also very handy to have about when I need to run lights, charge phones and such.

I'd argue why carry a concealed knife that you have to drop your pants to peel an apple with. Personally I'm delighted to live in a civilised country where such items are both illegal and unnecessary.

It is a great shame that such craft and workmanship have been devoted to what is, however you look at it, a concealed offensive weapon with only one purpose - stabbing people. Illegal (and rightly so) here in the UK too.

Thanks for this. We had the recipe for ice once, but when Dad passed it was lost. You have re-opened a whole world of culinary delights to us.

Thanks for the comprehensive Instructable and the details of the innovative integration of the bikes. In the UK we call the apple crusher a 'Scratter'. I was forever telling my kids to keep their hands OUT!
