Good Monday morning, and hoping you had a nice weekend. No RVating on this end, as rain and side sims took up the weekend. Related, please enjoy 36 seconds of slo-mo rain from the backyard (I keep a tripod next to the window for the birds). A nice break during the heat, with the plants looking happy.

Vibratory/Tumbling deburring
I just spent a solid hour deburring every tiny part of one stabilizer rib,. While I appreciate the meditative work, I could not help but thinking, could parts like that not be deburred in a vibrating container with abrasive material? Like so. (0:17s - 0:40s) I cannot be the first one thinking...

Vetterman instructions are less than ideal. I started placing pipes in approx locations and it left a lot to seemingly technique. I would really appreciate any good pics of an installed system from a few angles. The only graphics vettermans includes are poor sketches imo.
