Thank you sir. The Drop Siphon Funnel build is the last piece of the puzzle for my build. I just could not figure it out but you sir have helped solve that for me.  I can honestly say that your build thread is going to help me complete this "in progress" pack. Great idea and awesome build. Thanks for sharing.
