different sort of plated column

[googe]

Hey all, starting a new column, 5 plates, deflag, all the usual. Can you spot the difference yet?

[aquavita]

Brushed stainless??

[googe]

Nup, it's copper

[aquavita]

3" column????

No, perhaps smaller yet....

[googe]

gettin warm mate!.

[aquavita]

1" pipe with 1/2" sights.

Very thick sidewalls on the column.

[Brendan]

2" column

So that's what you've been cooking up googe

[Brendan]

1" pipe with 1/2" sights.

Very thick sidewalls on the column.

Yeah that's what it looks like...

[googe]

You got a good eye aquavita!, that's what give it away!. 22mm column

[Da Yooper]

Ones mine?

[Brendan]

I've got to ask googe...why have sight glasses?

[White_Lightning_Rod]

What's the planned product? Neutral or something flavored?

[pfshine]

I thought it was computer generated at first with the flat background. Are you goin with caps or sieve or what? The 2" columb has been done before with substandard results.

[googe]

Why not Brendan . Rod, no planed product, just something I've wanted to build for a long time. Love miniature stuff, like the miniature v8 dragsters that people do, dunno.if you've seen them. Pfshine, it's not 2", read up, sieve plates.

[Brendan]

I more meant you won't see much But I get where you're coming from, will look cool.

Might be able to use a 2L bottle as a cooling water recirculating tank!

You can collect in shot glasses and air your 30ml cuts out!

Seriously though, good luck with it mate...I'd be really keen to see a video when it's running

[White_Lightning_Rod]

Why not. Keep the pics coming and a video or two won't hurt my feelings.

[jarheadshiner]

Can't wait to see the boiler for that beast googe! Stainless coffee mug and a zippo should do it

It will be a cool one-off piece of art if nothing else!

[googe]

Tthanks fellas . I can see in the sight glass hole pretty good Brendan, just whether I can with glass in it is another story!. I was doing it as a counter piece at first jarhead, but thought stuff it, wonder if I can make it run, going to be hard finding how to do the downcomers and such, very small!!.

[heartcut]

Cool stuff, Googe. Keep the pics coming.

[Brendan]

Yeah although it might have started as an ornament, I'm so keen to see it in action!

[corene1]

Hey Googe I have the boiler and condenser for that column!

[googe]

Thanks heartcut!, I'm keen to Brendan, would be cool!. Haha thats awesome corene!, how big is it?, does it run?. Did you make the boiler with sheet?. Nice work.

[corene1]

Thanks heartcut!, I'm keen to Brendan, would be cool!. Haha thats awesome corene!, how big is it?, does it run?. Did you make the boiler with sheet?. Nice work.

Yes sir it does run! holds about 8 ounces made from sheet except the removable column and cap.

[googe]

Thanks.corene, would be cool.to see it running!. What size pipe did you use for the arm and the rest?.

[Doogie]

the nice thing about your column is it should take, oh, 5 minutes to stabilize ...

But keep working on it ... lol ... imagine if it works even adequate ... great "learner" column idea. If it does not, then meh, it is only a few bucks

[jedneck]

How about external downcomers?

[googe]

Lol doogie, probably take 5mins for the entire run! Lol. Thanks.jedneck!, hadn't thought of that!, was sitting in the shed thinking hmm how the hell am I going to do these plates!, good option thanks mate!.
First plate done!, I think I'm going to be totally bald after this .

[bellybuster]

the safety device is missing on your lighter.... for shame....

I'm just glad its you and not me building this. Can't wait to see it done.

[Brendan]

Is that a plate or a Penny?

A plate tree of pennys!!

[googe]

I walk around bare foot to belly . It's a copper plate rock, thought about using a coin when I was doing it, don't have any Pennies here, a 5c coin is nearly the right size though.
