What's your stills name?

[Mulitpleg]

The still. My car, motorcycle nor guitars have names neither. Until they don't do their jobs correctly then they get a lot of names.

Same here... And even if I did name them they wouldn't get womens names, they would bet some quasi-technical term as a name...

Heehehe cuite i throught i was the only one that gave names to my gadgets,I call mine LOKI, I have another one comming so im yet to see how that one works and then find another name for it,
Also Id like to say sorry for not been on here for awhile, my puter broke down and then i went to christchurch to be with my family. I was very embarrassed to find how far behind on computers i am, the shop person was getting a bit titchie with me when i was trying to get me a laptop, i mean Wow printers that dont need cords anymore, heck im still using xp and i was trying to get my head around this tecnology stuff, Ive only just discovered bluetooth on my cellphone and ive had it for yrs and im not even on the new network yet, I guess somthings are just hard to give up lol well i hope you all have a great day and keep smiling

Morgana-rose, think of it this way... If it ain't broken, don't go out of your way to break it...

My pot still is made out of.......Copper. There are three letters found on most of the pieces and they are "EPC" so I took a screw driver and hammer and made all of the epc's say "EPIC"

[Odin]

Started with an airstill that looked like the offspring of R2D2 mating with a Fiat Multipla's dashboard. Decided to call the lad after his father: R2D2. So when I got my second distiller, C3PO was the logical name for that. Nowadays, I actually don't call them anything, since in general they don't listen anyway let alone call me by my name.

Odin.

[The Baker]

Haven't named it yet, but I am thinking about Cushie (Butterfield), from the song

(look it up on Google for the youtube song, several versions)

because it is big.
It is a pot still and the lyne arm is eight feet of two inch copper tube (because I may alter the still one day and didn't want to cut the tube).

Cushy Butterfield
I'm a broken-hearted keelman
An I'm o'er head in love
Wi' a young lass from Gateshead
An I call her me dove........

(chorus)
She's a big lass She's a bonny lass
An she likes her beer
An I call her Cushie Butterfield
An I wish she was here.....
......
Ye'll oft see her doon at Sandgate
When the fresh herring comes in
She's like a bagful o sawdust
Tied round with string ..........

[jake_leg]

When I have reason to address my still I usually call it "Piece of Shit".

[banter_king]

mine is named the same thing haha

[emptyglass]

Most of my stuff these days is called "chineese piece of crap".

I don't name things other than boats (should be named after your first born daughter and not changed), but I'm thinking my still in the making will be called

"a boy named sue",

'cause its gunna have to get tough or die.

[grainhopper]

You guys that named yours, "Jenny" reminded me of Forest Gump and how he loved his Jenny.

Let's see...

My still was first made and broken in by another man...

Still looks pretty good, but I don't want anyone to see me with her...

Puts out, but only when she wants to and only after and hour of work on her fiddly bits...

Cools down a lot faster than she heats up...



So...should I name her after my first wife?

[emptyglass]

Yeah. Can't see why not.

I hope you dont have "unreconcilable differences" with your still.

[johnny108]

Usually a name is created by the thoughts you have when interracting with the object to be named. So, my small potstill is called:
"WorkYouLittleBastardAwwComeOnNotAnotherFlakeStandLeakGodDamn!t!!
and my steel column "reflux still" is called:
"TakeForeverToHeatUpYouLousyOverPricedPieceOfSh!tOOOhhhGreatMoreSulfurSmellYouNoCopperMailOrderPileOfJunk!!"

Yup- I'm a romantic when it comes to naming stuff....

[banter_king]

now thats just funny

[johnny108]

Glad you liked it-
Forum rules prevent me from posting the nickname I have for my ex-wife.................

[KY1792]

Sorry to interject on such a sensitive subject, but all male built or contrived "fruit of my loins" machines are personified with an emasculated name. Using the 2nd or third person pronouns like "her' or "she" is the norm - dare I say calling your 2+2 a him will get you an ass whipping from my neck of the woods.

In 1978 my dad gave me his 1970 dodge charger with a 400 cid, all he said was to keep Betsy happy - he called all his cars Betsy... Me, I call my dog "Diesel" and toilet bowl "Oscar", but my car on a cold morning I call bitch.

My six foot tall copper goddess is a good cookin' girl and called "censored" and rightly so, but had I called her a him and said the man didn't put out! the heads would roll. Please keep it feminine.

[banter_king]

i think i will call mine FABIAN ( think bruce willis's gf from pulp fiction) because she got her POT

[rad14701]

KY1792, I see no reason why men need to use a feminine name for everything they own... I think we've dragged ourselves out of the primordial soup far enough to use any creative name we choose, should we choose to do so at all... I've never given any tool or piece of machinery a name and doubt that I ever will... Besides, my stills don't look anything like any female I've ever seen before...

[501outlaw]

My sill had a name for a long time. And I always had to talk to it.
Name : piece of fuc&$!? shit
Conversation : what the hell is wrong with you now!!!

[BigPa]

I just call her "Corn Fed"..........

[astronomical]

Potstill is "Shorty B" and the reflux is "Biggie Talls"... Something tells me I used to have.. umm... waterpipes.. with those names.
