My point exactly. For what it is designed for, sketchup is great. But in a professional environment, I would go with SolidWorks.

Sorry, just not an AutoCAD fan.

These pics aren't very exciting......but I got my steel today. I had the lengths pre-cut by the steelyard; just cuts down on work I have to do. They didn't charge any xtra for it either.
I also simplified the design so that there are only 2 lengths of tube. I have 4 5-foot sections and 15 14-inch sections. This was another way of keeping it simple. The height of the sculpture will be the same as the depth.





It is 1"x1"x.095" CRS square tubing. My wife wouldn't let me weld today, since our baby was sleeping just on the other side of the wall. I will try to get some of this tacked together tomorrow after work. I will post pics then.

March pump from AHS is on it's way. Scheduled for Friday delivery. Thanks Forrest, best pricing on 809.

QD's and silicone tubing will be delivered today from McMaster. McMaster FTW on service, speed and pricing (at least on the tubing and QD's). 1/2" Brass QD set are ~ 13 bucks each. I bought 3 females and 5 males.

Pics to come when I get home.....

McMaster shipment got here last night......

These QD's are sick!
I highly reccomend them. They are very heavy-duty and weigh nearly a half pound each end. Lots of brass in these things. And you can get 3 for the price of one set of plastics from a brew store.

Didn't get a chance to tack together the frame last night; I had to do my taxes. Getting a refund , but it is already spent

If not before, I will post some pics of the equipment on Friday when I get my March. I plan on finishing all the welding and grinding on Friday as well, as it is a day off. I love working 4-10's.

Here are some pics of the Silicone tubing and brass QD's I got from McMaster. Great deal at about $13 a set and they are seriously heavy duty.

Here are some pics of the power box I built for her. It has a GFCI dual outlet plug and a switch that kills power to both plugs. I built this for two reasons. The first was to have a GFCI unit on the rig so that it would be safe wherever I brew and the second reason is have a power point for the march pump to plug into that is switched so I can turn it on and off without unplugging it. There is also a second plug for whatever.....

That is a great deal. Are the o-rings in the QD's safe for high heat?

Good question.

These fittings are rated to 250 degrees. It is just over, but still over boiling point.
