Welcome Mr Maker
It sounds like your build will teach a fair few of us something :handgestures-thumbupleft: (I'm having to do Google searches just to understand WTF it is you are building :oops: ).
As Kimbo says, please keep us posted. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

good morning from up here to everyone,
Frank, what I speak of is basicly a giant all glass chemistry set. I recieved in the mail last night a 4"/ 101 mm dia by 5'/ 1.5 m length glass column that i am going to build a plate tree for. What I mean by vacuum is that in chem lab we distill by applying vacuum to boil at much lower temps! I'll get some pics up soon and thanks for the welcome!
