Sorry for hijacking ur post for a bit

Busy boy today. After a frikin busy valentine's day weekend cooking for the hoards finally got some me time. Controler done and ready for sparky check :D I know its messy but don't want to muck around with tidy up till sparky gives me the all clear. So badly want to plug in but......... :scared-shocked: :scared-shocked: is not on the agenda

Elements and controler approved :D sparkie said good job, except its not grounded properly :scared-eek: that's why we get them tested :handgestures-thumbupleft: :-B

Well onto the video, thought I would share my amazement of the fsd elements. I don't needto explain how quick it to get to that stage but farrrrrrkkkkk, the water in the ice bucket was bath water warm in 30s. :clap: fsd for providing yet again another top quality product :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Day off build, build build. Built and installed a siphon tube so keg can empty all the way. Had to tweek the angles so I could get the elements as low as possible. Keg empties all way to lowest point :D And shit my keg is dirty inside have used in a month or so been at the welders. Welder did a good job so pretty happy. Post more progress later and hopefully be finished today or tomorrow :pray:

Thats so schmicko mate you done well :handgestures-thumbupleft: got a quick question if you dont mind where the castor wheel screws into the tube have you welded a nut inside ? I was going to weld one in but i thought it would be hard to get straight and welding would hard. Did you use another method

Hi whiskey. The castors have a sleeve that fits into the box tubing. Easy as no welding involved :D

Thanks mech :handgestures-thumbupleft: only one of my sons loves the process of building. Helped me all the way through and he's only 12 :D guess it goes to him.. like all my old tools he keeps on taking :D

Sounds like some beautiful father and son bonding right there ;-) . My boy is not long out of toilet training...but I want teach him to build with copper starting in a couple of weeks :D
