Thanks Thug. A lot of my blood sweat & tears in this thing.

The first module on top of your boiler does that hold copper mesh if so how is it contained in there

No copper mesh in the first module. That is only to provide height for the downcomer in the first plate so it didn't dip into the boiler.

Ahhh I c

Thanks bushy. It's my pride and joy in the shed. I only wanted to make it once so I made it count. Was always impressed by the finish on all the polished copper commercial stills I saw. I'm in the progress of finishing off the bubble cap plates I originally started for this build. When I get some pictures I will load them up.

Mate if you can make it look that pretty in 8 hours I'll have to get you round one weekend to polish "amber" all the booze you can carry as payment...
Looks amazing well done :music-deathmetal:

I used 3/4" tubing for my PC.

Sorry, I used 3/4" on my RC, and I think the PC was 1/2".

Thanks bud

May seem like a dumb question but when making the module wouldn't it be better if the t piece was low as possible to get a better view of the plate or is there other factors which determine where it's situated as I'm currently building my modules and am unsure if I should cut the hole low or in the centre cheers

Just keep inind the clearance required to fit your clamps.
You could solder the plate in higher so that the bubbles' genesis is visible but then you have to solder it in level, its a bit easier to just clamp them between the ferrules and have to look into the module.

Or build a glasser.

Not sure what u mean I have mine lower ATM just duck taped together and clamps fit and the plate is to sit in between the modules

If you have sorted it so there are no hassles with assmbly then by all means go for it.

Centralizing the sight glass is just for looks, it looks more balanced in the middle rather than lower.

But its your baby.

Hey Milky, when you TIGed your copper reducer, what filler rod did you use and what amps did you use?
