Column Packing

It is impossible to provide exact costs because they depend so much on where you live and on how much of the work you can do yourself. However, the following items will be needed. Their approximate cost in Canadian dollars is provided.

Most of the above costs are unavoidable, but it is possible to do without the cabinet and countertop and thereby bring the cost below $500 (Cdn). The glass stillhead, the really critical item, will have to be made by a professional glassblower near you, and the exact specifications are provided in the book which you can take to him. Or you could purchase it direct from us. To order, see Purchasing a Still.
