buddy of mine said Heineken mini kegs have a solid core in them for some filtering or something, so idk if those are the best to make a tank out of. Might have to find something more "low-tech" in mini kegs. just what i heard, you would have to check.

Fizzbane,
Your tank is finished and will ship out tomorrow. Check your PM

Chainmaker, yours is soldered up, the leather cut out and stitching will be done tomorrow, shipping out Wednesday. Check your PM.

I can have another one ready by the end of the week if anybody wants one.

Thanks,
SB

Chainmaker, as I said I have one too. Truely a work of art and your right, they should be on fleabay.

A sure seller for the person that wants the nice extras on thier bike. They should be a limited item. How much tomato juice can Silver Bear drink.

Fizzbane, I know the feeling. Believe me when you get it, you will forget how long the shipping took.
The only problem with mine is I've run out of people to show it to.

Laptop quit today for good, apparently. So I am using Jon & Lu's (brother & wife) briefly... don't want to impose on them. Hope to get something squared away soon, but in the meantime will try to check mail once a day. Sorry for the inconvenience to anyone who PMs me. I have one 46 ounce tank reqdy to ship. As Aristophanese said, "If it ain't one damned thing, it's another."

SB, I have a bunch of old PCs sitting here. Not one any good but any parts you might need to refurbish one. Can get old towers for change at tag sales that need a cord or vid card etc. Thrift stores too. Just let me know if ya need any thing.

Hey Dan,
Thanks for the kind offer. I just got an email from my x wife (#2 of 3) and she is bringing me a laptop from her twin sister who I went with before #2. Yes, it is confusing. Thankfully I'm still on good terms with my former wives. Anyway, a laptop is with her on a plane right now and by this time tomorrow I'll be back on the internet without having to use my brother's machine. Woohoo!

I'm so glad you like the tank and will look forward to seeing it on your build. Pretty cool...And thanks for your purchase as it helps me in getting what I need for my Worksman cruiser build.

seems like an Heineken mini keg would work . paint it of course would help .. but I would be more worried about venting it so preasure would not make it blow up
