What can one say? Esoteric is the first thought, but it has a certain ethereality to it as well.

What a bloody beautiful piece of work, Ozone. Do you have any idea of the hours you've spent on it?

That's a real beauty, if you ever get visitors from the cops they will not detect it as a still, just put a lamp on top.

Hi All, thanks again for all the great compliments...The weather here has been holding out (been decent) which in turn means busy work days (trying to beat the snow). As well the condenser has turned out to be a BIG challenge. It will be made simular (s.s end flanges with 4" glass) to the column but will be horizontal (perpindicular) to the steam column. I had to ditch the sphere's on the condenser and am going with a twin plate s.s multiple boiler tube design. Had to order some s.s tubing, and that arrived today. So hopefully I can get things rolling here. :D

OK Ozone, since no one else has done it, I will. I'll give you $25.00 for the whole rig to save you further embarassment :lol:

Well, the tough side is done (primary side that has three tubes). Now diving into the easy side (double tube side, secondary coil side assembly)....
