Stills an what not...

Well....maybe its not a still in the Ozark sense....its an Alembic and is used for harvesting essential oils..Juniper, sage, pine, medicinals and what not.. some times they get used for brandy... I have heard rumors of them being used for whiskey as well.... but Jamisons is cheap enough that I wouldn't bother....

The pots cost a  pretty penny which I dont have......but I do have some skills at banging out metal.. and theres no shape on the unit I havent made out of sheet iron when I was building caulderons and tankards..

The chargers Bill has to sell me are 3/16-1/4" thick and about 12" across...which is perfect for my purposes...I have heavy tube and copper sheet hidden..... so this project can happen pretty easily...

And I need to work with my hands a little..... worst case senario I have a sexed up copper cauldron and a sauce pan or two....


Im still trying to get my mind around the day... I made more pizza but left out the pepperoni..
I have 3 or 4 days of.... "hey howdy" coming up..classes and God knows what... I got the official line on what I study... the decision is... anything I want..as much as I want.. and Im pretty much a valuable commodity..I bitched about the exams.. the system, lack of certificates..and all the insider beefs on can imagine... turns out the supervisor has the same issues... so Im gold other than that.... I want to go get the copper...

Bill is in a tourist town...and all is well ..he has a girlfriend in Las Vagueness.. theres some hints that theres a spot for me....and I need the money... but its a been there done that gig ya know?

I would set up and run my own thing.. so who knows.. he still has his glass blowing equipment.. and I havent forgotten the notion of lamp working beads, perfume bottles, pipes and sex toys...
 Yeah I know... but now weed is legal so making pipes is not a paraphernalia beef....

Its medical supplies..... I'd do it for the irony.....
