my pot build

Postby LennyTheLizard » Fri Jul 27, 2012 10:05 am

Hello to all,
I was lucky enough to be given a section of 4" tube by JayD,so I decided to knock up a pot still and here are some pictures of my build for you to see and comment on. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Here are my sections as they went together all silver soldered.

I intend running this through a bubbler then condensor old school style.

I would like to say thanks to JayD for letting me use his workshop and tools :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Looks awesome! Did the SS section come pre-bent or do you have access to a mandrel tube bender?

We were lucky to be in the right spot at the right time and it was given to us as a sample, as it was a factory second cause the bends are slightly out of line...whoopy doo... we graciously excepted it. Then we put it to good use ;-)

I split this thread into two seperate threads as a pot still is definitely not a Bubbler... so it does not confuse people and keeps it all easy to find... :handgestures-thumbupleft: here is a link for your convenience LennyTheLizards Bubbler Build ;-)
