Very Nice, excellent job.

Did you do the welding your self or did you send it to someone?

I did the welding myself..... wasnt too hard as stainless is pretty easy to tig... Ran the tig between 55-65 amps, used .050 ss rod, and 1/16 tungsten......but of course now I need to try and repolish it all becasue the heat discoloration.
By the way, I forgot to say thanks Andrew for the guide about building your chamber, there was a lot of great info in it that helped along the way. (Also.. waiting to hear back from you on yahoo about the Deuterium)

I'll add my appreciation,too, Mike. Very nice work, indeed. The care and time spent at this stage, is a good investment in future reliability and usability.

Be sure to check for leaks before you get too far along.

Cheers.

Mike,

I add my appreciation as well, from the pictures it looks like quality work. Clean work like this eliminates most of the frustration down the line.
