Hi Guys,

I have been fortunate enough to have 2 stills made for me by OLDDOG.

A Pot Still and a 3 Plate Flute.

I look very much forward to making some Uncle Jesse real soon.

Thanks OD I'm so very grateful mate.

Regards

PS Pics and Reports soon

Here is the 3 plate Flute for Gretschem just finished and tested, all plates bubble, I will be taking it to interstate courier tomorrow.

OD

wow, how beautiful is that.

Nice work OD, you turn out first class stuff. Mud

Now that is flash.........

That is just not only practical but I would call it art........ Looks like a lot of work went into that.

Cheers,

Chris

Yeah it's a thing of beauty alright, hope mine turns out half as nice.

Those sight glasses look awesome too, it's the only part of my build I dont have sorted yet.

Cheers.

"FAR OUT" That's a work of art.

I feel dirty ogling over your girl she is a beauty! "Congrats" Treat her well and i am sure she will faith full to you.
"FAR OUT" I need to go have a smoke now.

I worked on the theory of a 4-6 inch gap between plates, and each plate being a point of reflux. The dephlagmater is also a point of reflux, so it was built with this in mind. It could work just as well with the plates at the bottom of the column, I don't know, it just seemed a logical place to place them.


OD

superb!
(can i send you mine and get you to make the weld joints look as good as that one???)

Dude,

You are a lucky man. Be sure you make some hooch worthy of this rig.

Old Dog, could you post the plans for this still while I'm still drooling!

Old dog is definetaly HD's Jessie James, he makes the prettiest flutes in the distilling world. I've been a member here for a year or 2, and love pictures of copper art work, Old dog and Condensificator, and Still crazy are some of the best. Mud

Almost forgot, you too Kentucky Shinner.

Very, Very Nice. Might I ask if you bought or made the sight glasses? Any close up pictures of them?

P.S. What does the inside of your dephlegmator consist of, is it just a coil? If so how tight of a coil? Thanks.

Vey nice work

More Pics!!!

... and plans. That thing looks amazing. Its made me want to make a new still now.

I hope to run this thing real soon.

I have been busy with other projects, home brewing etc, and work...

Rest assured, when I get into it, I will not stop...

Cheers

It's so purdy, it'd almost be a shame to fire it up and get it all tarnished.

Yeah, when I'm ready mate, what' the rush ???

I have a life you know

Your just teasing now.

I am having a read of the compleat distiller. I'm trying to work out what sort of still you have. Does it just to use plates instead of packing and in principle is a compound still? or is it a variant of the Coffey patent? why does it have sight glasses?

I didn't realise you could laquer it, is it safe to do so? because that's what I would want if I went copper, keep it shiny.
