What have you done to the copper?
Is that a washer soldered on top, what for?

He's making 4 bore cartridges of course. :handgestures-thumbupleft: :))

They are washers soldered on scythe , they are going to be my risers and downcomers once I get my bubble caps sorted I will flange the ends and use a nut and bolt to fix em in place

Hi all

Sorry for the absenteeism of late I hope to get into the build a bit this weekend
Stay tuned I should have some photos for you all

Cheers

Mhe

Been quite a productive day in the shed prepare for picture bombardment
Started with this



First Step complete parrot



testing out the new parrot


turns out that i may need a breather on my parrot i was getting surging and bubbles coming through the parrot, Will a breather fix that?

while parrot having its maiden run what could i do :think:

start the welder and got welding






four modules with flanges on check

Looking good, that's some nice work :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Yes a breather will overcome the surging problem.

I've got quite a few of those big nut fittings but haven't used them because I haven't been able to find alc safe seals. Do you have a place you get them from?

more welding modules and adaptor



Packed Section


RC



note to anyone considering making a similar style make sure u have the patience of a monk because trying to line up the pipes with the end cap is a massive pain in the ass ~x( :)) :))

welding the RC up






Onto The Block Head

the scary hole drilling




forgot to take a photo of the tack up of the adaptor

Awesone work :handgestures-thumbupleft:

curious to what it would look like assembled






so assemled it is quite a tall girl standing at 1430mm plus my boiler :D :D :D

i do have the option of making two more modules if i want to ( have material cut)

and that has concluded my day in the shed hope you enjoy , i look forward to my next available day in the shed :laughing-rolling:

woodduck

by big nut fittings? u mean the bsm nut on the bottom of my parrot? what do you meany by alc safe?

Yer the one on the bottom of your parrot. I've looked at a couple of places around here and can't find silicon or epdm seals. The ones I've got react to alcohol.

Love your work mate, just awesome :handgestures-thumbupleft: stainless porn right there :happy-partydance:
