What's that a bit of stainless plate or is that custom built for your tower.

Stainless sheet, ya. 16 ga. I had to shore it up a little on the backside with some aluminum bar stock to keep the taps from wobbling. I like the look though. :D

so I Got The plaato keg setup. Took WAY Longer Than I thought it should. one thing to consider is That if you have a Http Proxie. make an exception for this!
onceI Got it working it is pretty Cool. .001 Lb resolution. it will tell you how much your last Pour was, neat.

little update on these Plaato Keg modules. after a couple months using them I really like them, that have been surprisingly acurate. when it is say it is out, you might get half a glass, lol.

only thing to consider, if you have more than one, dont let them touch. they are soo sensitive that if you draw a glass from one keg, the adjacent keg will report a few ounces from the slight movement of the one touching it.
 
haven't Really Got anything more Done on this project, but my wife Got me this for christmas!

This is probably not the forum on which to discuss the relative merits of Titebond I, II and III... But that machine will be a wonderful thing.

lol, I always just go with 2. dont see any benefit to using 1 over 2 and 3, while more waterproof. doesnt flow as well and doesnt seem to bond as well.

Nice mate my build is in a Christmas/new years hiatus :).
New years plans are in play watch out I say there be exciting things happening this year I feel for me...touch wood;)
 
Got the top assembled and sanded. Couple little things wrong, but nothing I can't ignore. :D

Managed not to sand through the vaneer this time which is a plus.

Now to finish it.

Also got the door redone. putting a new vaneer on it was not hard, but contact cement made the whole house smell like stink for hours!

got the cabinet done, working on the finish. I am stuck using that stupid tung oil finish as a coloring agent to make sure it matches the first pieces. I am using poly after to actually seal it.
