20 gallon cone build - Installing a Vapor Cone - Moonshine Still

Soldering the pieces together is the easy part! I want to know how in the hell you built that cone so nicely! Very nice work

Very nice metal work! I happened upon this video in search of copper work help and this guy knows his stuff. Hopefully I can use some of his tips and tricks on my upcoming sink build.

Ive made alotta likk'r pots in my Time . From 30 gallon 304 stainless steel barrel pots all the way to 500 gallon pots in my past . Best pot ive ever had the pleasure of assissing on was a steamer still where the steam recirculates its self . 300 gallon boiler and two 100 gallon pots incased into another stainless tank that the steam flows around and heats the two mash pots runs to the thumper then rt to the Condencer .. that was many many years ago .no scorch no burn .

Real life unedited raw dog educational video, thanks man! Subscribed - Wished I had seen your channel earlier glad I'm here now. Looking forward to seeing more of your straight forward nice work.

you making it look so easy.... Great Work

Great work on the cone, Over worked the solder. Higher spread, To each their own. Great video!

I like how your still design has the cone nice and even with the pot. I see other companies that have the copper go over the pot which seems like a waste and looks odd. Plus i think it acts as a heat sink and takes up more room. This one looks better.

i just got me a vengence 20 and i must say im vey impressed with the quality and how its built to last also my first run produced some fantastic product that was smooth and impressive it was so worth the money spent , All my friends are gracious too LOL

Great Video, really nice work and a true testament to the craft. Makes me want to build stills myself and try to engineer new methods of distillation. Great work and thanks for sharing.

on the cone part, wouldn’t you just need to fill the seam with solder? and not waste the solder on the edges and etc, it’s so much solder

Thanks for the vid , your soldering technique is excellent

Try a little wire wool to clean pipes and fittings before fluxing ,helps solder flow lots and using damp towels on hot joints can fracture solder join .👍

For another example, your seam would be much cleaner if you had heated from under the seam and applied your solder from the top. Just try it you’ll appreciate the tip.

I thought your video was purdy good man.Thanks for sharing buddyrow.

That was a really really good job. The still looks absolutely amazing

2:16 I always do buddy but thanks for the reminder

I just started watching this and decided to go to the comments to hopefully get some info on some possible earlier editions ( I need something from beginning to end with a little bit of why you’re doing something one way or another. As an example, this being the first video I’ve ever watched about building a still and I’m obviously starting in the middle. But for example, why are you reducing down, and from what ID to what ID) I’m new at still building but I’m a retired Skilled Tradesmen (experimental metal model maker) so I do know how to solder and I just wanted to say some of your critics are right about how to properly solder. I don’t think they were trying to be assholes, you obviously know what you are doing but nobody’s beyond a little constructive criticism!!!

Nice job. Ya make it look easy.

I thought using normal solder was wrong bcuz of the lead content and real shiners only use silver solder?
