I made them, one of the perks of my job. But I saw something at McMaster Carr Type 2205 Stainless Steel http://www.mcmaster.com/#bull's-eye-sights/=gnubch" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;" rel="nofollow kinda expensive. I bought the glass from them & 4in tri clamp.

Thanks, the only thing I'm not sure about is the height of the downcomer on top of the plate. I have 3/4 right now.

What material are you using as the center post for your plate tree? The work looks great. That Cu/SS dephlag is wicked cool!

Stainless steel, I think 1/4 inch 20 threads per inch. Any good hardware store, not expensive.
