In order to minimize floor space, one of the first things I did was design the stand to allow the kettles to store underneath. The shields that came with my 10" banjo burners were too tall, so I built a leaf brake and bent custom shields.

We were renting at the time, so I wanted to make the most of the floor space the brew stand would take up in case we rented a place without a garage and it needed to be stored indoors. Basically I wanted it to double as furniture. Brewniture, if you will. Here's the the pieces after being cut:

A little over a year ago I decided to learn how to weld. I can't really remember why i chose to learn how to weld instead of, say, learning to play the harmonica, but i do remember thinking that welding would be a good skill to have during the zombie apocalypse. So I picked up a welder, some...

Thanks! Originally my plan was to use the butcher block as a removable top for it (results below) but I got so many complements on it that I decided to turn it into a standalone piece.

Sure, that's definitely possible. Since i use identical burners for my HLT, MLT, and BK, I only need to adjust the regulator once, and when the flame is dialed in on one burner, it's dialed on all 3 and rarely needs adjustment. In your case, getting all three burners dialed in is going to take...

10 in high pressure banjo burners.

Here's my 20 gallon brew rig. I decided to build it for two reasons 1) I like beer; 2) I wanted to learn how to weld. It wasn't the first thing I built - a workbench, compressor stand, and welding cart came first - but it was my first real project. The butcher block table in the first picture...

Hell yeah. I'm looking forward to the day that I can say that these are my most useful tools.

Given your current setup, what are the 4 tools (excluding stuff like wrenches, screwdrivers, etc.) that you find yourself using the most when DIYing homebrew stuff? Here's mine: Horizontal/vertical bandsaw - I bought a JET 5x6 bandsaw on a whim during PFD season (Google Alaska Permanent Fund...

Seconded - great analogy. I have both a die grinder and a Dremel and they're different tools for completely different jobs. That said, I find myself using the Dremel far, far more frequently than the die grinder or just about any other tool in my shop. The bits that I use most: Flex shaft...

James Bondsteel. This has got to be the apex of awesome names. And the best part? James Bondsteel didn't grow up to become a podiatrist or plumber with an awesome sounding name. Nope, in 1965 James Bondsteel did exactly what you'd expect a fictional character with that name to do - enlisted...
