Apologies for the links, i tried to 'insert image' but no joy!

This is my attempt(mid build) of a wall mounted heating and cooling unit. I live in the North of Scotland and as such cooling is rarely a problem! Air cooling to ambient will suffice, heating will take place in the top dome with a lightbulb. Copper coils have to be formed and fitted then insulated. I will hook it up to a ATC and fluid movement will come from a 24v Speck Mag coupled pump. Its too early to be showing this really but i am very happy with the look so far. I am also enjoying making a fermentation temperature control unit that is different from the 'standard' wooden box & fridge.

Here is my 2x4 and 3" gold screw brew stand that I built this weekend. Wanted to build in a way that incorporated my double burner. Sturdy as all hell, wooden (I know I will catch some crap for this), and has already been tested while bringing the keg to a full boil and held for there for 20 minutes. The wood barely got warm (and if all else fails and I feel it may be a safety issue, metal flashing will be installed next to protect the wood). May cut the tall piece down (for a laptop/ingredients table, and use the double burner for the HLT and to set the MLT on. Then I can place the keg on the ground, fill, then lift up the keg to the burner when doing the boil. May get a pump and pump all of my fluid around, so no lifting... Not sure, guess I will see what I figure out. Now its time to brew some beer! I will have to post pics with it in action. Eventually, I will cut the tall part off, and make it a single tier, but I am not quite that far yet. Let me know what you guys think.
