Nebe, that is just about the right size to hold my daily Guinness! Please let is cool first.........:gu:

Wow, That's awesome. What's it going to be used for?

I was commissioned by a lighting company to make 10 shades to replace the original shades for some gas lamps @ a town hall in mass... the originals were made in 1850.. When they are cool, I will scribe 2 lines on the top and bottom with a diamond and pop the ends off with a small oxy propane torch to make it an open ended cylinder ... very tricky.

Sweet!!!

Best of luck!

I definatly have one that is too short... cant use it. only issue is that its got a rough opening on the top. only way to seal it is with a cork and wax.... BUT.. I would trade you some brew for it :hee:

That would work for home brew...

How many gallons would it hold?

well.. its got a 12 inch diameter and is about 20 inches tall..

The one in the photos is 12 inches wide and aprox 30 inches tall...

Those things are incredible....

Wow, very impressive! (snodgrass)

Thats really cool stuff Eben.:uhuh:

thanks for sharing that...very nice...

I love seeing people doing crafts.

Looks like they are coming out very nice!

The short one you describe is about perfect for 5 to 6 gallons , as a rough estimate. Secondary fermenters which is what the short one would make are always sealed by corks so that's not an issue. The big risk is will it be strong enough to hold about40 pounds of beer. If its not , you lose the jar , the beer and make a mess that will draw ants for about 100 years! :)

No thanks..I'm jealous as hell of all that hair though:rotf2:
