WOW, Its even lower then what I paid for it. I went to the store to pick it up and it was $199.99. I asked the manger if the store does price matching from the website. He said "yes". It was on sale for $169.99 which I bought it for. I just now checked again and its even lower. $149...dang, just my luck.

I see your keggle cutouts in the background. Lets get a shot of those keggles on the stand!

Im not using ARC, Its flux core .030 wire.
I started off trying to use ARC 6011 3/32 rods. I got tired using it...So I switched to the Flux Core. The photos of the close up's are the flux core ones.

Here you go. I'm using the cooler for the Mash tun. But the keg in the middle isn't drilled out. I'm thinking about using this keg for the Mash tun once I get the fittings for it. Don't know yet.
Also, I would like to buy some Camlocks....

As a side note, The Brew stand is going to have 4" casters on it. So I can wheel it around my basement without a problem. Even wheel it to the outdoors.

Just a update. Several items arrived the last few days. The 4" casters and the bottom diamond plate. Which I cut some notches into it to fit it into place. I have not mounted it yet..just wanted to see if it fit okay.
Also the end caps for the square tubing.

I still need to grind some welds and then strip the crap off the tubing. I also might add some extra tubing to hold the water filter in place. Just to keep it away from the heat.

Update: 3/5/2010

Its been several days since Ive had time to do any work toward the stand. But the last two days the wife has been kind enough to allow me some time to work on it. She watched our two small sons while I got to play in the basement.

Several mods to the stand. I added some more square tubing to the top. It help keep the keggles from falling into the square. Not that the square was too big or anything. But I needed to center the kegs with about a inch or so on all sides or one of the sides of the keg would fall a little into the square. This added tubing solved that small problem. Which really wasn't an issue or problem in the first place, Just piece of mine.

I also added and other piece to one of the sides. This is going to support my water filter. Remember the stand will have casters. This gives it another 5" of clearance from the ground.

Also got to grind down the welds and strip off some of the coating before the painting took place.

Still need to find a way to mount my two banjo burners. Ive been thinking on several different methods. I'm at the planning stage on them at the moment.

Make sure you can unscrew the filter housing without it hitting the floor. Though, once you add casters, this won't be an issue.

Yeah, funny thing is. I didn't even think about the unscrewing part. I still added the room of when it is mounted that it still gives 2 or 3 inches even without the casters. But with the casters. No problem.
