Jack Daniel's - #OnTheRocks

I love the lignum series from EK...
can't wait to see the finished build..

 

[Glowballs]

Amazing work. It's probably been mentioned here as I haven't read all the comments... but it would be pretty cool if you used a bottle of JD as a reservoir.

Some large updates.
Over the weekend, i finished the loop, ran a leak test and ran into several issues.
Majority was recorded, and because of the leaks that happened, i just trashed the video.
So looks like i'm skipping the build video and just moving to final images + Videos.

At this moment in time, it's just touch ups here and there that are required, cables to moved around inside etc.

Anyway, here's a couple shots from last night and a live video of the build that was done on facebook last night.

Thank you for looking
More to follow soon

I hadn't popped in a for a while so missed a large bulk of updates (you don't muck about) - but just, brilliant!!

The open design front and back works really well thanks to your coraldraw/autolaser fabrications and your tubing/routing. As mentioned earlier, the attention to detail is amazing and has really made this build a work of art.

From concept to finished product it's a great build log with superb results.

*I imagine your sponsors will be very happy!

Absolutely stunning, great job. Very impressive pictures too. Nice too see it all running.
It's kind of relaxing watching the liquid being poured in the video .

Looks incredible, however, I don't think the RGB works well with it, I'd be turning that off IMO

Yeah these photo's were taken during test runs, and set up.
Lights are now currently set to a low brightness deep orange.

 

[bloodiedathame]

My only criticism is that the board is upside down... Well, the text is.

 

[MT Mods]

Uploaded some final images.
Was a nice day today, figured i'd get in some shots.

Will upload more detailed shots over the weekend.
Thanks for looking

That is seriously awesome! Love it. The pouring bottle and glass reservoir idea is just inspired.

Awesome, looks great now, I hope you've rewarded yourself with a few JD's, unless you're sick of the sight of it now

 

[Shaolin Chicken]

Got to say it again, I love this build. Such an original idea.
Congrats on job well done.

Amazing. The lights with all the wood remind me of the lighting setup at live gigs in a few country bars I’ve been to. Incredible build.

 

[Curlyriff]

This is awesome and something very different to anything else seen. Cheers for sharing and cool to see JD doing this
