Modification I made to an old dairy to ferment wine in

So I welded the ferrule to what in the food industry we call a "pup" ie a short piece of tube. Then welded that to the face of the vessel. The hole size matched up perfectly to the 1-1/2 tubing. It's an old dairy tank, but still great stainless to work with!
 
All back purged with argon. To achieve a sanitary weld you must dispose of all the o2 in the vicinity of your weld area
 
Considering the blurry-ass picture you posted, that's a top-notch weld job there! :D

I travel through Sacramento occasionally. I'll be sure to bring along my projects next time ;)
