maybe closer than you think, it looked like your photo when i walked outta the shop last night. bit more white stuff today and tomorrow, but it's looking like a fine Easter weekend in our parts. looking forward to a nice ham feast on Sunday with the whole family! Yup, sounds like close. 'Tis a smal...

Very nice looking indeed! I'm working on building according to pintoshines plans for a 12gallon. Can't wait to get to that first run! I'm more excited to do that than I was the very first time I saw those drippings running from my ss stock pot set up. Thanks for sharing the pics and experience. Newb...

heavy awg copper wire can make rivets, it's so soft it's easy to pound a head into. Just saw your post hidden between the larger font sized ones. I'll definitely keep that idea in mind for next time (and I KNOW There is gonna be a next time, building has been a great part of the hobby). Btw, frozen...

Thanks so much for the input! I ended up ordering rivets from a local supply company, and they'll be here in about a week, so I'll be patient. In the meantime, I'll make the lyne arm with a flat lock seam. Finished up the pan for the boiler and pan for the cap tonight. Taking my time since this is m...

If somebody would be so kind, i still have not had any feedback on the advice i need regarding the seam. I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't be sufficient, especially after I solder it, but would like to know for sure before I go on and make a pricey mistake. I do like the looks of rivets, but...

Did a little work tonight forming the pan for the boiler. Wish I could have stayed in the work shed but temps still below freezing at night and ran out of split wood for the stove. Gonna be picking up mapp gas torch tomorrow, annealing with propane torch can be done, but just takes too long for my l...

Pic of template on copper. Heading out to shed soon to work on making the pan tonight. Will post my progress for copper porn lovers (admittedly one of those myself and not ashamed lol)

Finally. Had to get app to resize. Damn this tech era we are in! Makes life hell not easier. I have to send my 8 year old messages on xbox to get her attention lol. But I digress....now that I have this, more pretty copper pics of my progress coming in a few. So excited to have an all copper traditi...

I'm trying to get the image. Problem is I'm posting from my phone and the image is too large for the server. Will get shortly, and thanks for the tip, I'll take a look for that thread shortly.

My pretty copper has finally arrived and I have cut out the pieces using pintoshines 12gallon template. I would like to start assembling, however I was going to overlap and use soft copper rivets along the seams but no local companies carry them. My dilemma is should I wait for the rivets and make m...

Thanks to all the warm welcomes! To answer "halfbaked" first: I prefer to drink whiskey. All types lol. The main one here being "crown royal". No mix, no ice, no water. I have no real favorite and enjoy them all though. Variety is the spice of life! As for beer, i do have a favor...

Hello oakstill. Ontario as well here. Good to see a very close neighbor, and somebody to share the best place for supplies. For my location, I ended up ordering a sheet of copper from guttersupply.com as per another recommendation on this board. I've found it cheaper than anywhere in Canada, with cu...

I've been browsing this board for over a year now and finally registered after seeing another ontarian. I have a little experience in making brew, and have been reading on distilling for fifteen years, but only tried my hand at it for the past few. Started off with a small stainless stock pot set up...
