[Mr.Spooky]

sorry dude,,,, just checked my e mail and it said that my order has been shipped
ofcorse i probabally ordered the wrong stuff.

[Samohon]

Basically I think the Delphag is a huge leibig. But it is made to handle allot vapor, allot more then the normal Liebig. I am pretty sure Im gonna have to through allot of heat to this thing to make it work correctly.

With the degree of metalsmithin shown already KS, you could easily build yourself a new burner.....

as far as the lighting I do think that would work. and I may later try to do that. but for now I have scratched that. It can be added at a later date...

Yeah, get her built and broken in, then add the frills man....

KS, what size are your brass sight glasses, guess I must av missed it bro...?

Well, you've sprung me spook...
Been shoppin for a meter of 4" copper, but all they want to sell me is a 3M length.. Damn its pricey..
Any stillers from the UK that want to share a 3M length of 4" copper are welcome to pm me....

May take up the challenge to build the Scottish Flute, but I ain't buyin 3 Meters of the stuff...

Once the copper bug bites spook, it bites deep....

I think we know why PEX is out. I wonder if they have any idea.

Hey Sam, this type of column could be built from 3" and would work well, this would reduce the price of copper and fittings. I have built plated columns using 2", remember my Evil Twins, but 2"is a bit fiddly due to the small bore size.

May have to go the 3" route OD, 4" is just big bucks. Yeah man, this would also save me $$$ on the fittings...
Yeah, the Evil Twins,,, Great build...

Thanks OD...

[Mr.Spooky]

here, the price of 4" compaired to 3" is a more than 1/2 price . a 3x2 couplind is 18$,,,,, a 4x2 is like 41$
spooky

[Kentucky shinner]

yep If I were starting over again I think I would go with 3" because of fitting cost. I should have done more research before begining, I just never had any idea they would be nearly as expensive as they are. Oh well if it works as well as I hope I will have this baby for years, Hell I may be buried with it if my wife has anything to do with it. I just hope I get to finish it firs.....
No shes actually pretty cool with it. He she cant wait to see it run either. I am thinking about naming this baby CP30, remember from star wars.. That is what all this shinny copper reminds me of. What do you think? through this whole build I thought well a name will come to me while I am building then last night I looked at the column with the sight glasses installed and that is what I thought of.
Oh well nuff a that shit.
KS

[Mr.Spooky]

[olddog]

Yup, we have just got to wait to see Sam's Highland Flute now.

[JethroBodine]

Price of 4", yeah. Anybody else ask about 6" when shopping around? 4" $35/ft. 6" $135/ft!! I WAS thinking of duplicating Rednose's in 6" copper. HAHAHAHAHA!!! Can only buy new in 10 ft. lengths! Not on my budget.

Hey Samohon... psssst. You in the States? I have a little over 3' left over from my build... Somebody, I forget who, Is going to get the other 3'... I might even be able to solder some kind of copper base to it and put a card inside wishing you luck with your new copper vase from the Jethro Bodine Vase Company... Now where's that PM button?...

[rednose]

No shes actually pretty cool with it. He she cant wait to see it run either.

Hmm, I mean that's not my job Kentucky but if I where you I would forget about the copper flute a day or two and make sure that my wife is he or she.

That can make a big difference.

[Kentucky shinner]

No red, I meant enough of my rambling on...

[ScottishBoy]

Yup, we have just got to wait to see Sam's Highland Flute now.

That is the LAST thing you want to ask a Scotsman to see...
