Price.

Ah, true :)

thx guys :D

I took aluminium over copper because the price for copper is just insane over here...

I will probably stop by a store today to get some aluminium 4mm thick plates for mounting + get some water sand paper grit 600-1200 and some polish paste so i can finish them.

I'll like them!

Nice work

Results after 1 hour of wet sanding and polishing.

Ohoho nice, you have too much time :p:

regards

lookin nice shark-357.
Great work

Great job..:toast:

Nice indead, Lets see some results from them now, is it that big of a diff from copper to alu as far as temps are concerned, I was thining maybe 2-5 most maybe, or am i way off..

All that hours of polishing won't even be seen after a few times using them:D
And you insulate the tubes? :p:

Like LD saids, to mutch time ^^

Thx for all the kind words guys really appreciaded:)

I will post results with DICE on monday or thursday when i complete the mounting for these two babys and then we will see how they perform towards zbogi`s copper pots and i`ll decide if i will be making a few more, since a got a few PM`s.

About polishing im a perfectionist wether it`s about case modding, voltmoding, girls :D or in this case fabricating pots :)

One picture for laughs :D
