10/4 my bruthaaaaa

i was thinking of a gin basket and was wandering if i could use a piece the same size as my deflag but just with a perferated plate in it that i set the herbs on. if it was the same size as the deflag, i could just switch the two out without, messing with the produce condensor heigth. my main question is,,, do yall think that the gin basket (that i described) would work? or might i be missing something?

ok,,, i got the product condensor, and the deflag done. here is a link to a vid of the engine turning. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evZwpJK6opU" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow
and here is the finished product.

dont know...... all i got left to do is a thermo, and some glass.... i got a MK5000 sittin here waiting to be hooked up, but i still got to get a element port welded in.. it will hapen soon though because im down to my last few quarts

Looks great Spooky and a very nice tutorial on the Engine pattern...

Great work man...

Dunno Spooky? That sounds like code for " ima engine turn mine in such a way that makes yours look like a 13 year old did it".
Can't beleive Aaron talks to you like that

really nice work Jase.
And I think Condensificator owes you an apology

hah! naw man...it's not like that. the engine turning thing is sweet for sure, but i'll leave it to spook. i'm thinking something different...some sort of scrolly engraving kind of thing.

Hahaha ,,my engine turning looks real good from about 5foot back,,, and even better at 10.ft lol.. Etching of zomesort would be badass, but would be more than I would care to tackle. B.T.W,,, good to see ya back condesificator,,,, id thought you were M.I.A....

That is just so cool spooky!!!!!!!!!! Great tute as well.

Question for Od,,, I put my laquer on my condensors today, and after I did this, I relised that one of my welds on the water inlet was weak, and broke loose. I need to fix the weld, but it has already been laquered. Do you have a y suggestions on how to reprep the finish and fix the weld?//
thanks

Thanks Blanikdog,,, I'm just trying to polish a turd:-)

no problem there spooky I have done it several times. Just sand the area clean of the lacquer. flux and solder then add more lacquer.
works great

How far back from the weld do you usually sand?///
Does it discolor the remaining lawquer? This is on a engine turned piece, so I need to keep the sanding to a minimal because it will mess up the finish
Thanks

I just sand where i am going to solder. It will turn a dark gold color.

Whats the advantages/disadvantages of J-traps as opposed to the classic downcomer & cup?

NChooch

gotta bump this. i would really love to hear the answer to the last question on the last page of this... any major advantage because i will be building soon.

Another bump... LOL.

Awesome thread.


I doubt spooky is around anymore.. so i'll ask the remaining HD Braintrust n hopefully someone knows the answer..

That engine turning is SUPER cool. Can you do it on stainless?
