Read somewhere that when you have folded the edges to 90 degrees you can tack a copper wire under the fold.
Then continue to beat the copper over it to form a nice rounded lip.
Never tried it.... could be a good idea. :think:

Bloody good stuff blond.chap. I have been wondering where I would buy, and how much it was going to cost me, to get a couple of reducers I need for a still I have been wanting to build, and you have solved my problem. After reading your post I have knocked out a 4" to 2" reducer, a 4" to 3" reducer, and a 3" to 2&1/2" reducer. I still need to get my hands on a few more bits and I will start building. Thanks a million! :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I was looking at changing our pot still, but my mate who gave me the pot still says it is only a loaner, and he doesnt want me to change it around so I cant cut it up up like I was going to. I have to see what it is going to cost me to buy some bits to try to make something up to replace the pot still. I have been reading about plates and thumpers and I was going to pit a plate at the bottom of the pot still to get stronger alcohol so I only had to distuill twice to get a good alcohol to make bourbon. If I have to start form the getgo what is the best way for me to go to make a good bourbon. I dont mind having to make something up as I have done plumbing offsidin and can solder and fab pretty good.
the circumference is 3.14×100=314mm. Divide this into a number of sections (the bigger the number, the more accurate you’ll be). In this case I’ll use 20. So 314/20=15.5. Set the compass distance to 15.5mm then walk the compass from the end of the large horizontal line, along the arc until you count 20 steps. Mark this point.
