3'' shotgun

[frodo]

came across some 3'' K copper.
so i made a 12'' shotgun condensor

flattened out a pc. of 3'' copper, cut it with snips to the size of the pipe. drilled 5/8'' in a pattern

making 2 shotguns, so i drilled out 4 3'' couplings, 2, with 7/8 holes and 2 with 5/8 holes
then sil flossed pup peices of pipe into the caps, while the caps were hot, I swedged the bottom of the cap , so that the likker will drain,

after the caps were done, I drilled the pipe and sil flossed 2 nipples aech

then i sil flossed the dividers,,then using a grinder..cut away any excess

added the tubes

hooked it up to water, tested it. no leaks !!!!!!!!!!!!
soldered the caps on.

he he he...actually,,here is the deal i made.

he wanted a controller for a keg

so I made him a cranky special. in return.

i received, k copper
1, pcs of 3'' 30'' long
1, pcs of 3'' 24'' long
2, pcs of 3'' 12'' long
then, i told him, send me 4 caps
i'll make 2 shotguns, send him one back

so, now, i am entertaining what to do with the 3''

i have 5' of pipe. suggestions ?

Toot...toot...tooot...your flute.

3" is about the smallest diameter you can make into a flute. But Frodo, if anybody can manipulate copper here...it's you. If you study the designs, you'll surely find a 3" bubble plate out there. Sure, there's a lot of work ahead...but, busy hands are happy (creative).

I know you can do it...just give yourself enough time to do it.
