Dunnit. This has been the toughest project so far. Recalcitrant bastard it was, took 15kg of citric acid in 3 separate acid baths, plus drilling and grinding to descale. Then dozens of cycles of build, discover leak, drain, strip, mend leak, rebuild, discover you've disturbed something in the process, drain, strip... Even the bodywork was far from straightforward, many hours of stripping rust, painting, polishing, assembling, adjusting...
Now it's done and it's fucking ace. It's going to be the centrepiece of my coffee shop when i get that up and running. The shot in the video isn't great, but you get the jist.
