Looking to make flute..
Im looking to make me a flute as im wanting to become a mini distiller soon. Something similar to Mile Hi or Hillbilly Stills flute.. Im new to building flutes, would like to find some plans and pictures showing the process rather than having to ask1,000,000 questions and getting on someones nerves..

Re: Looking to make flute..
Hi JS, welcome to the boards.
Sorry to say, there aint no hard and fast plans for a flute, theres many ways to skin the cat. If you want the shortcut way, you can put your name down with mile hi or other flute makers, short of that your going to have to do some homework.
Becoming a "mini distiller" also needs some homework, theres lots to it. Are you going to go legal? Are you going to make only one product? Do you have bottles and approved labelling? See how deep the rabbit hole goes?
Pretty much all the info you need is here, you just gotta find it.

+1 to what EG said.
All the info is here in both the flute talk thread (all 67 pages), and the many build threads that people have posted.
It's all there, just got to spend the hours going through it all. And if you get through all that and have questions, just post them on the appropriate thread, and I'm sure some will help you out.
Good luck with your distilling journey

Isn't it counter productive to start off illegal to become legal? Just wonderin

Too much of anything is bad, but too much good whiskey is barely enough
