new flute build

[emptyglass]

and for any one out there dont tig the coper to stainless it is a pain in the ass.

Beautiful work there Tom, you need to silver solder ss to copper, what about the downcomers? I wish I lived next door to you.

you can tig weld stainless to copper it is the hardest welding i have done to date,so silver solder is the way to go if your tig welding is not high level,but if you want to take a challenge go for it,

+1.

You know you've made it when you can pull a copper to staino TIG weld off.

Don't attemp it when your having a shakey day.

You don't mess around Thomas

Jaezus, that's looking mighty fine.

[LWTCS]

That's a pretty sick build Sir. WTG.

How them plates workin for ya? the holes looked a tad big,,,,,,,but I can't see shit without my readers.

Your rig looks like a life time keeper and OD IS the cat that swallowed the canary

[BrewVegas]

Where did you get the glycol unit...or what was it repurposed from?

[WV Shine]

Man that thing makes me so jealous I used to have a glycol chiller I purchased at an old job in a silent auction of surplus equipment . It was used to chill a laser, probably about 3k new... I got it for $75... yup, guess nobody else wanted it lol. One of my jackass roommates at the time dumped coolant all over the electronics when he was trying to fill it. Fried.

I was pretty pissed. Probably could have repaired it, but it was such a pain to move I eventually just left it at some apt.

Anyways, again, sweet set-up man!

[Stingrayjay]

That is going to look real nice when finished ,

[thomasjst]

Ok did my cleaning run last night it was the shit, phase controller worked good and the plates all bubbled, will start my ferm tonight so ci will post in about a week, the chiller a friend of mine makes them.
