First this all started with a 2" mile high reflux and then built a 3"x48" stainless copy of a milehi but better, now its my turn. First i searched for some 4" copper pipe, if i were to buy it new it would have been bookoo bucks... well i cant have that so i began to search scrap yards etc for 4" pipe, the largest i could find was 3" and that wasnt going to cut it so i began calling around local plumbers and the 3rd shop i called said he would check and call me back, well he called me back and said no i dont have any 4" but i have an 11' piece of 5", i said how much you want for it?? He said give me an offer, well i offered him a bill and he said ok... so i picked it up and the wheels started turning.... I then went back to the scrap yards and bought every piece of pipe i need, 3" for the condensor, 2 1/2" for the sight glasses, 2" for joining the 2" elbows on top of the column, 1 1/4" for my downcomer cups, 1" for my parrot body, 3/4" for my downcomers, 1/2" for the tubes for deflag and product condensor as well as output tube.
So first thing i started building my deflag and product condensor, i decided on 19 tubes that are 1/2"x6" for the deflag, i cut out the disks and then drilled them out on the drill press, cut all of my tubes for the deflag and did a rough assembly

and yes i know the inside of the pipes need a good cleaning

still need to cut the inner tubes for it
