Jimmidaboot Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Been busily working on this beauty. Can't wait to show it off to all of you when it's done. Here are some more in progress pics! Enjoy!! Here's the cape all welded up Here's the bottom of the onion head and the stainless flange…. This is the space that will be filled when I flare the collar to meet the bottom of the still head: Lost more fitting work to attach the goose neck to the top of the still head...

david_october Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 It's all hand made? Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 What gauge of copper do you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmidaboot Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Yes, all hand formed. Regulated with an English wheel when possible. And of course a TIG welder. The metal is measured in ounces and I use 48oz, which translates to about 19g or .049". It's a bit hard to manipulate, but it makes for a solid still.

wigglywalker Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Copper sheet thickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmidaboot Posted February 4, 2015 Author Share Posted February 4, 2015 Copper sheet thickness. Correct! Sorry, got it confused with 32oz. Thanks for that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourlix Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 So it's 16 gauge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmidaboot Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Yeah. 16g copper. Gauges are not standard between different metals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmidaboot Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 This still is finished and shipped. I'll try to remember to post some pics of it completed, or perhaps my client will when he has it set up in its home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourlix Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I'd love to see more construction pictures, and the tools you use. Is that a shot bag I see in the picture of the swan neck? Your English wheel? Do you use an air powered planishing hammer? Such nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
