I've met a bunch of great people and it really helps keep me honest ("Do I really want fellow woodworkers to see me take that shortcut?") Plus, I've learned so much from others.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042590412023915722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951405337023506146.post-4943536829238400302011-02-01T11:06:18.214-05:002011-02-01T11:06:18.214-05:00This is GREAT!

I've used a similar one for brewing beer inside. Not good.<br /><br />Looking forward to the next installment!<br />CheersJason Herrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05025150376563882246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951405337023506146.post-20552639418926296232011-01-31T20:59:40.022-05:002011-01-31T20:59:40.022-05:00I like the demountable legs and extender both look...I like the demountable legs and extender both look like good performance enhancements. Let me know how the extender leaks steam and if its a problem. I made my box from left over "melamine" board. I figured if it doesn't last I would just make another one. It doesn't owe me anything.Pablohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17983044576597452579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951405337023506146.post-33485773403140056972011-01-31T02:07:05.783-05:002011-01-31T02:07:05.783-05:00That's a goodly looking set-up, good luck with...That's a goodly looking set-up, good luck with it. <br />Does the sliding section of the box extend automatically as the pressure builds?Jack Planehttp://pegsandtails.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951405337023506146.post-7974522879845778632011-01-30T21:43:44.929-05:002011-01-30T21:43:44.929-05:00Thanks guys.

It is made out of exterior plywood, and I've read that it should hold up, we will see.<br /><br />I looked at a number of other boxes, the sliding thing is the only thing I added. I'm keen to reduce the amount of space that it needs to heat, so it made sense.<br /><br />Fernco reduced, Thanks Dyami!Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042590412023915722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2951405337023506146.post-71757808850798359492011-01-30T18:47:08.964-05:002011-01-30T18:47:08.964-05:00Looks like it should bark and wag it's tail fr...Looks like it should bark and wag it's tail from the shape of it.<br /><br />Did you make this via plans or did you think this up?
