Come on guys I would appreciate some feedback!!!!!!!! (On your thoughts)

I cant picture how it works, are there other parts we cant see? ie other ferrules? whats it look like inside?

It's going to have cap on top, there will be a copper grate on the inside and arm to consider from the side at top of wall. Pretty much it's going to be a 2 in 1 onion still head and gin basket

Copper... feedback... looks nice, nicely made dome thingy...sorry, have no idea of what they should look like...sounds like you have it sussed tho.

How do you get inside, is the cap clamped on? like the idea, looks like it will be a cool rig. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

That is 4" Ferrell and it will have 4"cap on top to allow access for fruit and botanicals

It will look like 4" cleaning port on the centre of top (still in progress)

CHR,
I'm awe of any build (coz I have passion fingers) so I'm watching as things unfold... perhaps you can do a couple of exposé pics or drawings so we can get 'with' your vision?!?

I have often though of having a copper 'Onion' under neath a copper Swan pot still, but that is more a visual design than a functional one!

Looking forward to seeing mor of your work!

Looks cool, sounds messy!

I would go 6 or 8 inch on top hard to get arm in with 4" :think:

Are you building this yourself? How'd you get the cone shape?

Good point, I was going to get the missus to clean it LOL
6" it is!

It's 14 gauge folded around and seamed and silver soldered down the back on the side you can not see.

Nice, what silver solder did you use for such a long seam?

Lead free of course

Looks pretty sweet

The solder bead around that seam that we can see looks pretty tidy

Silver soldered with the oxy kit I see or soft solder?

Nice workshop :handgestures-thumbupleft: where did you get the copper sheet from? It's pretty hard to find down here...
