How many stills have you built?

[corene1]

I was just wondering how many stills a person will build in their distilling career. Being a tinkerer at heart I have probably built way too many stills and an abundance of different parts and pieces for said stills, but have had great fun and learned quite a bit along the way. It seems I learn something new on every build and discover building flaws on projects that were done a few years back. It is all a learning process some good and some not so good. I see many folks here building their first still and struggling with different aspects of the build and I try to help, but not being well traveled I have discovered that many of the tools and supplies that are readily available in my area are very difficult to get in other areas so I see a lot of creativity and the ability to make what you have work. Some of the stills I see here are so creative and the artistic value is beyond belief, they are quite amazing to be sure.
So far I have built 8 complete stills from five gallons to 28 gallons . Some all copper some all stainless and some a composite of both. I have built 2 plated column stills. 1 packed column still and the rest are pot still with thumpers. I have also built quite a few individual projects as additions or modifications to said stills or for others folks stills. So again I am just curious about what all you other tinkerers are up to and do you think we will ever quit trying to build something new or different.
