Well, I did some work today, but my camera ran out of juice....

Ran into some problems while making the evaporator. It fit nice and snug, and there is a bit more contact than I'd like. However, it fills most of the space between the central tube and the outer wall. The problem happened due to the switch to the 3/8 inch tubing. It changes the way I've got to pipe it, and I'm kind of annoyed, but the 1/2 coil was flat when I wound it... it was uniform, except for a kink in the middle that pretty much meant it was shot even if I WANTED to use it. I'll likely have to couple them and then join them in a tee on the outside.

The supports are all fastened to the base, but lots of work left to do.
