sweet! Those things are handy, aren't they? You've got to see ours LOL. It's pretty umm.....well it's functional, lets leave it at that
Seems like I rember your dad saying it was made out of a barrel......not a bad setup, the end result is what counts if I had'nt stumbled onto this Intercont machine($200) I would have built my own as well
Parts Washer Oh yeah, our 55gal barrell works pretty good, has a grate in the bottom and I installed a faucet in the lower part to drain it periodically. Is also on removable casters. The water heater element and thermostat (set at highest reading) has a drawback, the 220 chord gets real warm after a couple hours so cannot leave unattended. Finding a good non foaming soap is getting harder, industrial soap is becoming non exsistent, tried a good dishwasher powder and is ok but takes longer to clean. Have to keep lid on to attain full temp but parts come out very nice after 3to4 hours. Air hose hooked up to copper tube inside with very slight pressure keeps things agitated. Clean is good for rebuilds etc.
