Is this a joke??

Post by Fermentanator »

Far out, check out this ebay listing;

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/REFLUX-STILL ... 3cc26fab94" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow

The guy can't even spell or use basic grammar...I just cant believe this. He calls it a "Reflux still alcohol pot spirit boiler". This looks like it could cause someone alot of grief, hopefully people will see the photo and run. It looks like a poor excuse for a pot still. I see he has a high quality hammer bashed end on the copper pipe too.

Dang...what do you all think??

+1 for stills but there are sometimes great deals on copper and other things you might need if you decide to build.

Gotta admit, this guy has some skill. You'd need some skill to get solder over every square inch of every pipe and fitting. :wtf:

This seller appears to be churning his own account and this is the first still he is attempting to sell...

That's what I was thinking! He could cut his costs in half if he learned how to solder!

I would so love to see someone forward a link to this thread to him. :lol: Even better would to be a fly on the wall if and when he read it. :twisted: He would never have to balls to step in and claim his wonderful work. He's the next Picasso of the still builders. We should present him with an award. The coveted HD craptastic still builder award. A plaque with a smashed up piece of copper and a big glob of solder. :moresarcasm:
