Righto the finish line is in sight thanks to wifey and Sue at 5 star discreatly ordering some goodies with out me knowing :dance:
I learnt the bteaking point one of the primus glasses tensioning them down :angry-banghead: but ill put that down to experience.
Thats why in the pics theirs only four plates. Also only part way through polishing. It wont be as shiny as some of the great equipment on this site put its shiny enough for me :D
Next on the list cooling lines and packing.

Oh, rum! A man after my own heart! I've been waiting for someone to machine the thread they don't need off. Everyone else just complains about assembly time! 10 points!

Cleaning run went well. These bubblers are sure fun to run 8-}
Did a few tests to see how far i can push it. No plates flooded, my r.c can handel about 2700w before its inafective. With 4 plates a medium filled packed section with a internal leak in my pc i got 85% temp corrected. When i get a chance ill lop the end its leaking from and re do one end :angry-banghead:

So I built a thumper. I have yet to test it out, as the missus wants some vodka. It holds 3ltrs.
So here is some copper porn for you :dance:

Very tasty bit of kit mate.

I envy you folks with copper working skills. I reckon I'd end up with a colander if I tried something like that.

Cheers,
Prof. Green.
