AD searchHad a go at making a parrot the other day.
Just got to get it soldered up now.
The main tube is 25mm (couldn't get my alcometer to fit into a 3/4 tube), with half inch inlet tube and 1/4 inch outlet tube.
The base is a bit of 32mm copper with a brass tube bush over the outside I cut off an old offcut from another job.

Looks good mate, I prefer 1" for the body anyway as the slightly larger volume helps stop the alcometer bobbing ;)
If your input tube is 1/2" you can put a few bits of brazing rod in there to lessen the volume :D
