Re: Home built stills
Very Nice. The Harry Jackson Cross Flow Condenser on the VM looks very well done, I'm not surprised one bit that it was a bugger to build.
Is the VM a VM/LM combo. looks like there is a needle valve on the external reflux return? Do you bleed the heads that way?

Re: Home built stills
Hi Capt C your right on both counts. Crossflow is difficult to build and it is a VM/LM combo. Only use the LM side to bleed off fores/heads and then switch to VM for hearts. Speak to you later.

Great looking kit.
I am in the process of adding a VM take-off to my Bok, having seen your combo, I am hoping that you might give me some tips on how to drive mine when its finished.

Hey RM, nice gear. I especially like the way you built your pot head.

AAARGH!!!
Don't tempt me. Please, Please don't tempt me.
That looks really great, I want one.
If you can build one of them you can build anything. What next? an Inter-galactic Mega Cruiser?
