GONZO THE BUBBLER BUILD

[strongy12]

That's it bluc. Almost finished, boiler, parrot and gotta screw and tap in my sight glasses. It took me a while to get the sight glass problem sorted today, had make up 8 x 3/8 easy flanges the remove the old ones and solder in the bigger ones. Ive worked hard for my bourbon tonight

[bluc]

Love your workmanship :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[rumdidlydum]

Looking sweet, great work :handgestures-thumbupleft:
How shiny are you going to make it? :D

[strongy12]

just realized i got my RC in the wrong position, wouldn't work to good there, WHOOPS.
gonna hit it with steel wool, polish with brasso then lacquer it rum, should shine up a treat

[Dig Brinker]

Looks great Strongy :handgestures-thumbupleft:
Too much work in it to not make it shiny. The bloke I got my copper (free) from said I have to polish it :crying-blue: personally I'd be happy to give it a mad max feel but free copper, I can't argue :laughing-rolling:

[maddogpearse]

Oh how I love to watch scrap bits of copper become beautiful pieces of art, capable of creating world class liquor. Nicely done strongy! Well done cobb! :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[strongy12]

to be honest... i couldnt really care what it looks like on the outside (but my family/mates are wankers, not all of them) and if i served them booze from a dull still they would think they are drinking rat poison. but if i shine her up they will think they are drinking Woodford reserve. Its the same with my beer, I cant b fucked filtering but if i don't people are like.... its ok but I like VB better, WANKERS....

[strongy12]

I cant remember who it was that did it on this site, but they finished their still with a black oxide, looked SICK. but i don't want to b a copy cat.

[strongy12]

I want to rename my build to G.................O

I reckon it was dog breath vodka with one of his steam punk builds! And it did look mint, so copy away I say!

[Zak Griffin]

DBV's Steampunk builds were both finished black, but have since been cleaned up and polished.

Go for it I say! Love this build :handgestures-thumbupleft:

[strongy12]

Cheers fellas, Ill have to go over his build and see what he used.
Thanks for changing the name rum

[strongy12]

I might have to paint it blue now, like gonzo

You might want to make your vent rube a little more higher otherwise you will get surging :-B

Nothing wrong with doing the same as others. If it's the look you want and you think it's awesome then I say go for it mate! Great progress too! Enjoying your build!

+1

You will need to have the bottom of your vent higher than the inner parrot tube.
