Re: Just Post a Pick of your Rig
Thanks PalC this is a 16g copper milkcan scratch and dent from MileHi. I don’t believe they source the copper ones of this size anymore but OakStills probably has similar if you don’t want to build.

+1 I'd definitly have that on display as well. If it were a 50 or 100L model I'd probably never leave the still room.

Somewhere between hurry up and time is irrelevant.

Re: Just Post a Pick of your Rig
Yeah that's a lovely looking still, not hard to sit around and look at!
Got to take that plastic tubing off the spout though.

Re: Just Post a Pick of your Rig
Yeah. I’m gonna add an inline parrot next and set ‘er up not on the floor of my garage, though I gotta say having the floor drain right there is awful convenient. Cleaning after a goopy oak whiskey took all of five minutes.

Re: Just Post a Pick of your Rig
My still is a lamp. I have a friend who is a custom lamp maker. I only run the still in the winter (November to March). From March to next November it is a lamp.
He made the lamp topper with a 2" TriClamp fitting on the bottom that I can attach to the top of the still. He made the red water facet handle a light switch. Turning the facet handle turns the lamp on.
I asked him to make it in a Steam Punk theam.

Re: Just Post a Pick of your Rig
Awesome, Stump Lake! Innovative and pretty.
In my country, just owning a component of a still is a crime but I suspect it’s mainly condensers and onions/helmets that really fall under that category and I’ve never heard of anyone in modern history being fined for it. But I could see infront of me arguing with the police officer, ”it’s a lamp, I tell you, it’s a lamp!”.

I think I'll go home and fire up my still, it might not make me feel better but, I bet it will

Re: Just Post a Pick of your Rig
Ha, thanks guys. I'm proud of my lamp, he did a great job. Also I didn't mention the bulbs are the old Edison style bulb. Really adds to the Steam Punk look.
Yeah Pal I don't far I would get with the "No, it's a lamp" argument. Hopefully I never have to find out.

Re: Just Post a Pick of your Rig
Stump, nice setup! The red valve sets it off IMO. I love an industrial steam punk-y look, especially when it's functional. I try to incorporate that look myself when I can, especially when it adds to functionality and strength. Great idea!
