Looking really good Roy,

What process did you use to cut the form on the 4" SG's to mate to the 6" column?.....

Been a while but got arfo in shed today :handgestures-thumbupleft: Brazed sight ferrules in for sight glass checked for leaks all good. PC finished and started single bubble caps aka steampunk. Top condenser next then 6x4 reducer was going to buy S/S one but thinking all copper so far so try find copper one

Sweet as :handgestures-thumbupleft: :D

Looks great well done

[royboy73]

Been a while since posting anything. Thought this build might be slow one. Need couple more bits to finish of and some time. Found a 6x4 reducer at Reece for $41 thought was a bargin so may as well try to go all copper.Going single cap as steampunk 2 ^:)^ .Should I try find some 2 1/2 to go over 2 for cap or 3 over 2 ? Either way don't have either yet. :angry-banghead: And ran out of acetylene :angry-banghead: .

Dam thats a big pc you will be able to push some serious heat into that beast, are you going electric or gas? :-B

[royboy73]

Yeah bit over the top but just used what I had. Bit worried about weight but figure that out later. Electric mate only got 18 gallon boiler at minute till finish boiler build. Have one 15 amp line in shed and another line so 2400 on one 3600 on other with voltage controller. All new with 6 inch might be bit trial and error.

[bluc]

You gunna run the 2400w through controller? I reakon 6 inch will need 4800w. I see there is a few running 4" on 3600w..

[Zak Griffin]

6" will be fine with 3600 + a controlled 2400 element.

Love your work Roy :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[royboy73]

That's the plan zak :handgestures-thumbupleft: . I run my 4 inch with perf plates on 3600 flat but when I run 4 with single 2 inch cap I run at 7 on controller so 27/2800. Now heart of gold is finished does that mean Agrajag comes back to be finished ??

[Zak Griffin]

Got the carter head to go first mate, but I will start to piece Agrajag together again as well :handgestures-thumbupleft: reckon I'll knock up a 3" VM too..

[bluc]

How did you expand your 6" for the ferrules? Been looking on ebay for pipe expanders but can only find ones for up to 3" :sad:

[copperhead road]

Hi mate, looks awesome so far :dance:

[royboy73]

Expander is on loan from crispy mate he's the man his set does up to 8 inch :scared-eek: Very hard to find them that big I've got one up to 4 inch what size were u after mate ?

[bluc]

none yet but will eventually need a 6" for a thumper. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[royboy73]

Been a while but did bit mock up today to judge scale. Still have lots to do. Plates have inch downcomers with inch and quarter caps 2 inch riser with 2 1/2 cap fell free to comment. Modules ended up at 190 seem to big but can trim 20 mm off them?? All feedback appreciated :handgestures-thumbupleft:
