Why build just one
Built these over the last week. One for me one for a friend. And i still have enough to make a 2" boka.
Guess i will tell you about them too. Its 2" column the one steps from 2" to 1" then down to half before the 1" over 1/2" condensor. Which is about 36" long.
The other is 2" column to 1 1/2" to 1/2". I forgot to get two reducers so i am building another liebig with 1 1/2" over 1/2 with some type of ground wire or flites on the 1/2" inside to better transfer the heat from the inside. I'll add those pictures when i get there.
It was my first time ever soldering copper but i don't think i did that bad.
Going to go with the turkey fryer for now till i can afford to build a phase angle controller and unplug the dryer at home.

Great work man. Should be a ton of fun for the both of you. 2inch copper can be a challenge to solder...damn fine job.

Re: Why build just one
DAMN-IT, I never find those good deals. That even beats out the scrap yard. Nice find for sure.

Finished the second condensor. Now just got to wait on the screws for my burner. (it shipped and didn't have any of the hardware) Thanks amazon...
Put this on the inner 1/2" tube for some extra flow area Condenser
All together

Nice rig. With that quality of craftsmanship, would your skills be for hire? I'm local to the Burgh...

Re: Why build just one
I think its better if you learn to build your own. I picked up everything to build them from here. And watched the videos on YouTube on how to solder copper. Its not to bas as long as you have the tools. The most important tool is knowledge. Build it right the first time do your homework all the answers are on here.
Re: Why build just one
Fair enough. Appreciate you entertaining the thought, even if for a second.

Re: Why build just one
Found another use for the strainer that came in my SS funnel. Works great to direct the stream in a constant steady downward flow.
