All four plates are now risered up :happy-partydance: Didn't have time to tack all of the bubblecaps on though

I need to buy a handful of 1" elbows for my downcomers, and make another 3 weirs, and the plates will be done!

I've also made a little mistake with my plate tree bolt holes, but it won't be a major...

Reckon Brendan's gunna lose his title for longest bubbler build ever, better get cracking mate or ol' mate Bushy is gunna start giving you a flogging..... unless someone else beats him to it :teasing-tease:

[Zak Griffin]

Bushy is scared of the babyshit green jacket ;-)

I never said it was going to be a quick build! I do almost have enough spare beer tickets to get my FSD hoodies though :)

C'mon Zak, forget 6 month build we are talkin 12 months :scared-eek:

Hook in mate once you get that baby rockin you won't look back. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[Zak Griffin]

It'll be 12 months in February... I reckon I'll have it done by then.

I still don't have my shed finished, which means I still don't have anywhere to set the thing up/15 amp plugs to get it cranking.

It'll happen!

I dont have stilsons that big, but got a crowbar if ya need it.... and a better jacket :))

I've got a pair of 36" RIDGID stilly's in the shed, I'll have a go on the weekend and see if I can't remove a digit or 3 :laughing-rolling:

Thanks for the kind words of encouragement guys, it really does inspire me :teasing-tease:

[Zak Griffin]

I had a bit of a play with the oxy this arvo...

Because my pipe is so thin-walled, it's not completely round. Because I'm going non-modular, with weired plates, I'm never going to get them to seal against the column.

My remedy for this is to solder the plates into the column. No biggy, just another setback and one that's going to take a fair bit of working out. Theres also the matter of the 3 extra holes in each plate where the threaded rods were going to go.

More tomorrow, with pics!

im sure your first born will appreciate this still on his 18th birthday (if you have it done by then :teasing-tease: )

good luck with the last few pieces :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[Zak Griffin]

I wish I never used soft solder :angry-banghead: two steps forward, one step back.

I am in front today though!

If Bushy gets wind of this be prepared, :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:

I know I've said this before, but a bit is going to happen over the next couple of weeks. Plates will be finished tomorrow :handgestures-thumbupleft:

We're getting there!

This thread is a testamount to the fact that you really need to plan an entire build from day 1... And also never try to use soft solder :laughing-rolling:
