Nice bit of staino mate...good to see someone with some machinery and skills.What diam is the guts, looks a bit tight? 3/4 ish? Prob just the pic though..
Given your other builds, this question is probably rather a moot point.

Might need to remake the main body of it, 3/4" sounds like a great idea to most people until they realise that you need a bit more clearance around the alchometer for the spirit to flow.
Otherwise the spirit will lift the alchometer and you wont get a true reading.
1" is a good size.

Altho the body of yours looks like it could be 3/4" NB pipe so you might be ok.
Do you jave any 7/8" ID stainless tube if you dont have 1"?

I was 'ebay' window shopping and saw a parrot attached to a plated still in Yankee land that had a plate under the base for holding jars and thought that was a good idea. I'm going to try and incorporate that into my gear somehow a little better than they did with a proper holding tray. You've got the skills so maybe it might be a good thing for you to try.
I like that no matter what height the parrot is the jar is always just below the spout.
