Mighty fine looking rig mate.

We need a gallery section here where shots of these marvellous builds can be assembled in one easy to view collection.

Cheers,
Prof. Green.

Great handskills mate! That looks awesome! You should be very proud. Looks so neat. Love the little finishing touches you have done on this. The plumbing of the parrot, the water plumbing set up! Super jealous of your water plumbing! I was so wanting to do this on my Bender build. Just ran out of time due to being moved at the end of 2015.

Great work of art. You have some great skills!

Thanks for the comments guys much appreciated.For the sight glasses I got a 3" copper coupler and marked it out as per bushys tutorial (thanks bushy :handgestures-thumbupleft: )then cut with snips and grinder to tidy up then spent a whole Saturday with wet and dry wrapped around a bit of 4" pipe and got them perfect.Soldering these on had me worried but it was the easiest join on the still the key is no gaps and heat on outside solder inside.Before I soldered them on to the still I put 3" ferrules on .I only read a post a few days ago where I could email my photos to me and then post them :oops:
