Hello from TX

Post by claykrys »

Hello, I am pretty new to this. Last year I bought a Megahome distiller and I have done a few small runs. My last batch was pretty good but it took a long time to get there and there wasn't much to enjoy or share by the time I got it right. I have decided to build a little bigger still and do a lot more research before I started any projects. I have a roll of 16oz copper flashing that is 3' x 10' that I got a while back when cleaning out a relatives old barn. After looking it up online and seeing what it will cost to replace this copper if I screw it up has made me a little nervous to say the least. I would like to find someone locally who is good at working with flashing but I dont know anyone personally and I dont have the first clue on how I would approach the subject with someone im just meeting. If anyone knows where I could find plans or a template I would greatly appreciate it.




Wow guess I should have read before making my first post. Lots of great info for a beginner on here. Im reading the still plans section now. :oops:

Welcome to HD claykrys, Yeh just about anything you want to know about our hobby is somewhwer on here, but sometimes just what you are looking can be a little hard to find or completly understand at first, it's why we have a forum. Good luck.
Sometimes I wonder why is that Frisbee getting bigger......and then it hits me.
