did you finish or polish the bottom seal after CNC or did you get the seal tight finish right from a finishing bit? Being it's stainless how did you run that mig setup to be completely anaerobic to get such nice looking welds, does it look that nice where it penetrated on the inside?

azur said: Here it is guys. 143.5 quart pc. Took a plate of stainless steel and had it rolled into shape. Cut a circle out of another plate and welded it to the bottom. Used a plate to make the top and machined it to fit the top of a 941aa. Used expandable metal for the shelves. I'll give her a test run tonight. Enjoy the pics.
Hell yeah! Azur you the MAN! Really excited for you - this looks like a huge boost for your production, and you made it yourself! Fuck Yeeeeahaaaahhhhh!

I polished it and used a tri-mix for welding.

that looks pretty damn good, I hardly weld but all of our welds have to be "dairy quality" we have to purge the inside of the weld too and if possible polish the inner surface of the weld. aseptic welds look like robots did them but for using trimix that looks great there's not any black pits or anything. pretty awesome

Thanks man. I taught myself to weld when i was probably 12 or so. And though I'm not a "welder" i do a lot of glass and metal sculptural work. So my welds have to look good. I find, like many things, confidence helps a lot

Nice build. The real test comes at operating time.
How many bags exactly that can be fitted into that thing is entirely going to depend on how full you fill your bags. You say you can get 21 half gallon jars in there, so I would speculate that 18 - 2 gallon/8 quart bags would fit into that device comfortably, or 32 - 4 quart/1 gallon bags.

LOL wow! That thing is awesome!
How are you going to retrieve the jars on the bottom shelf when a cycle is complete? Do you have climbing gear to repel down into that monstrosity?

Just put 6 gallons if water in it, tightened the lid with exhaust manifold bolts and fired her up. I was carrying it from the lab to my house and needed my girlfriend to get the door. She just stood there like girls do. So i yelled, "open the fucking door!!" She yelled back and left. Bitches man. I wasn't yelling at her. I was yelling as a motivating factor. So the pc may have cost me my relationship. I'll keep ya'll posted on that and this pc.

Chick's hate it when you point out that they could be helping, when instead they are just standing there playing with their hair. Good luck with that one bro! Btw, how was your little vacation you took to the springs?

Alright, blew some steam out at the lid area in one spot. This was a concern of mine as you can never roll it in a true circle. I shut it down and I'm running to a buddy's to grab something to use as a gasket. Update very soon

Excellent Job Azur, man, that thing is a tank! what gauge(or schedule) stainless is the tank? As you know(I think) I'm a welder by trade, and I hold many certifications throught the National Certified Pipe Welding Bureau (NCPWB), stainless steel mig welding being one, and I have seen people who do that type of welding everyday, and still have trouble laying such a consistent fillet weld, for you to be able to do that taught on your own is amazing in itself, nonetheless everything else involved with building that pc, BRAVO azur, VERY nice job man!
