Ok guys, I have the first experimental lot fired so am ready to take orders. Please note that because they are individually hand made (and shrinkage is uneven), the sizes will vary a little especially with "free form" items. The pipes should all be pretty close to stated size (+/- 1.2cm...all quotes in cms). At the moment these are the only two colours available. Please allow at least 2 weeks turn around as they need to be made to order, dried and kiln fired. Stoneware and terracotta are the same price.

L to R: Small lamp horn $2.50 (8 x 5.5 diam 1.5 x 1.5). Boot $8.00 (8 x 13 opening 5 x 1.5). Alto horn $15.00 (14 x 13 opening 6 x 2). All with clay base or glass base. Please state preference.

L to R: Stackable squat pots $5.00 (diameter 10 height 5 opening 1.5 x 1.5), glass base only. Burrito $6.00 (14 x 6 diameter 4 x 4).

L to R: Large pipe $15.00 (open both ends 20 diameter 6 x 6). Small pipe $10.00 (open both ends 15 diameter 3.5 x 3.5). Small pipe squash $10.00 (open both ends but elliptical opening of 3.5 x 2.5). Double blind pipe $15.00 (enclosed at both ends 15cm lateral opening 3 x 2).

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v326/anchar/halfpipes.jpg
L to R: Long half pipe $8.00 (15 x 7.5 x 5). Short half pipe $5.00 (8.5 x 7.5 x 5). Rough or smooth texture. All with glass bases.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v326/anchar/apistopots.jpg
L to R: Open Apisto pot $7.00 (10 x 6 x 6, opening 5.5 x 3.5 textured finish). Enclosed Apisto pot $8.00 (10 x 6 x 6, opening 5 x 3 with lip to prevent fry from rolling out, smooth finish). Both have enclosed clay base and small hole at rear for circulation.

Turtle shell (Ancistrus cave)...deep $15.00 (20 x 14 at widest point x 7 at highest point). Shallow $12.00 (20 x 14 at widest point x 5 at highest point). Opening vary greatly...average 5 x 3. Glass bases, textured finish.

Fry nurseries...small $12.00 (10 x 8 x 8), medium $20.00 (17 x 10 x 12), large $35.00 (25 x 10 x 15). Average measurements of photographed items only as these will vary considerably in measurement according to shape.

Postage to eastern states available but please no time wasters as I have to go to the post office with each order in question and have it individually weighed. To give you an idea, 3 caves to Qld cost $20.00 for the postpak and postage. Average weight of caves is between 300g and 500g (depending on size).

Thanks Chris...just got two orders for fry nurseries that are about 2 foot x 18 inches x 1 foot! Boy...am I gonna be busy :lol:

Since freight charges seem to be eliminating a few of you, perhaps consider a group buy. I have put together quite a number of pieces for another forum and freight works out a lot cheaper this way. Just a thought. For example, I have just posted a box with 4 x shallow shells, 2 x squash pipes and 2 x double blind pipes to Melbourne and it cost $15.00. Hence as a rough guide, add about $2.00 to the price of each piece for freight.

Merjo, if a box was to be organised to be sent over my way for a group of people where would it be delivered?

Im guessing it would be pick up from the Local post office?

Or would it be sent to one members house?

Sorry for the dumb question...lOl :lol:

Merjo,

How about having a go at making some spawning cones? I'm sure you will get plenty of Customers on this site.

Regards,

Marg.

Correct...I will make them available to Perthies as they won't have to deal with freight costs and vice versa.

Here's a pic. of a large fry nursery in a tank...


Put in my fry nursery today, the fish were all over it the minute it went in. The colour is great, fits in nicely with the limestone.
Thanks Andrea Smile
