Finally got a decent pot

Dont have a clue how it will work but Im sure ill have some fun using it... Thanks to Misko for his thoughts, and ofcourse to Chris from Eagle Machine for making it happen.... The copper was 3" x 3.5" ( D x H) that I got for $28cnd from a recycling depot and Chris machined it in exchange for my Commando....

Dimensions...

Height= 90mm
Width= 76mm
Lower wall= 9mm
Upper wall= 5mm
Inside Diameter= 58mm
Pole= 20mm x 25mm (D x H)

Have to wait till Tuesday to test it out, should be fun.....

Nice pot!

Is it me or does that machining sound a tad expensive

? That motherboard is approx ~ £140 here!

Dualist · 07-01-2007, 03:07 AM

£140.? Sounds like 4hrs work plus the vat, would be hard pushed to do that in four hours

Nice pot though

nice work

will be better when posting it during action

luihed I'm glad u finally did it

Great pot I'm sure that it will act perfect in both (DI/ln2) subzero condition.

Nice pot bro, I think it's time to see what it can do.

luihed · 07-01-2007, 12:03 PM

Thanks guys.... Yeah I cant wait to see what it can do, but monday is a holiday so I have to wait till tuesday....

@Misko, yeah finally lol... there was too many obstacles in the way and at times I didnt think it was ever gonna be done.... thanks again

@ Brettbeck, Machinning here is so expensive and actually it was hard to find somebody that will do it cos alot of them dont wanna deal with copper..... I think it worked out for me cos the motherboard is used and it was for sale at the time....

i noticed in your first post you quoted in CND dollars...does that mean your from Canada? if so, what side of the country are you if you don't mind me asking. i too am having a punch of a time trying to find anyone that will work with copper...aluminum yes, but i already have an aluminum pot

luihed · 07-01-2007, 03:15 PM

Im from the westcoast, in Vancouver..... yeah the economy is good so I guess machine shops can pick and choose jobs they wanna work on... The shop that did mine was in abbotsford which is probably 100km away.....

Im going to use ln2 on this pot right away, I have a dryice pot that's almost done too and one day Ill test both for dry ice.... If this works well on dry ice then Ill sell the other one and just use this for both....

IF youre making it from scratch, buying one from Kingpin will end up being cheaper I think, but I just like to make my own stuff..... The way I look at it, this pot is free because the money I spent on it is for the fun I had making it

i hope that made sense.... Thats my 4th pot now lol....

I agree, nothing better than building/designing it yourself. Unfotunately I can't find a machine shop around here to do the work for my own designs. I had to settle for buying a copper rev. 2 mousepot

Atleast the mousepot was cheap, only $180

erwinz · 07-01-2007, 07:54 PM

nice..

looking forward for your test tom..

good luck bro...

Jercouzen · 07-01-2007, 10:39 PM

hehe i'll be waiting to see that in october

Nice looking unit, I'm sure you'll do some damage with it.

I like the solidness of it. Great looking pot.
