Im getting the hang of This fab thing

This Is an airless Grant.

Yes. Rawhide mallet. I'm not sure why we call them Buffalo hammers in the shop.

Buying a stock pot would be an alternative but the quality wouldn't be there and it would be made of an even thinner material then 16ga. It's also always cheaper to make it yourself.;

I apologize. i should have explained this better. It's hard without a video. You can actually just start the "knuckle" or bend with just a pair of pliers. just to get a start to the bend. Once you have the material bent up slightly you can start using a buffalo hammer to finish it off. The...

I'm making this at work so I have a machine that can knuckle but you could use a buffalo hammer. Next I fit the bottom to the shell. I also included a picture of what it should look like when complete.

Knuckle finished

I will be fabricating an open grant today. I will keep posting my progress. It will be 400 mm in diameter. Here is the bottom and the lid cut out . Next step is to put a knuckle on the bottom.

25b false bottom I'm about to install.

Well mainly in my mlt. I don't want a dip tube through my false bottom. I will if I can't find another option . This picture is of a hop back with a sump type discharge. We use these on wine tanks normally. do you guys think this would work in a kettle?

Well I would weld a one inch 90 degree elbow in the bottom center of the keg (which would be in the flame)then extend it outside the radius of the keg and put the valve there. So I think I'm ok then.

Thanks for the response. I didn't mean for my herms coil . I want all my lines to be 1" Ss. The reason is because I have alot lying around the shop and I also have alot of 1" trc fittings.
