Hello ...

Post by CUwithSNSB »

Greetings from the Rust belt Midwest!! I've been reading posts from this site for quite some time! I must say there are quite a few talanted still builders!!! Some very eloborate, and exquisit workmanship! Many creative ideas and solutions to minor obsticles. I really like the condenser coil jig from an Iron pipe and a few pillow blocks!! I made a similar jig from wood with out pillow blocks and it worked ok... I used what I had available...

As for my still, I assembled almost everything from, again, what I had available, and it turned out ok--- I'll post pics when I get it all assembled with the boiler and water lines... as a teaser it is 1-1/2 " diameter with a tilt column, it has external cooling condenser coils, and the "head" is convertable.... I can easily remove it to add packing or an internal coil... as this is my first, I'll keep any interested parties posted on my progress. I wanted to have as many options availible for future expansion as possible...

Thanks for a Greatly Informative Web Site!!

Geez,

I must be getting old, my first thought was Copper (Cu) with tin (Sn),Antimony (Sb).

Cuddle Up with Some Naked Sexy Blonde(s) sounds better…

You know your getting old when you can't jump the fence any more or walk on grass with out your shoes.

If you can still do those two,,,,,,,,,,,,your still good to go.
