Thank you very much.

An alembic is a still.
Alembic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I used it because of a high school teacher I had that taught we should strive to copy the drive of the Renaissance men. They became well versed in science, mathematics, architecture, painting, sculpting, writing, music and athletics. They believed that they were all connected and provided the ability to distill (alembic) new ideas from all of their experiences. I have tried hard to live my life that way.

Thank you very much. For the most part I have to thank my wife for laying down the neatness law. It lead to the ideas that I came up with.

Never had any ideas to build something as beautiful, though....but you have provided me with just that!!
Now i only have the wife to convince that i need this .

Beautiful work, Alembic!!! I like!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

P.s.: at the same time you have infected me with a SEVERE CASE of RAD just by seing this work of art..........

Thank you for the kind words. Maybe if you splay all your stuff out and then show your wife the picture - she will be only too happy to let you build one.

Never seen someone with all those blades! Looks like an well constructed setup. A+

Is that a Dovo Bismarck I see on the bottom row of that shelf?

Best razor of the bunch, imo.

Yes - it is excellent. But there is now a Filarmonica Doble Temple 12, 13 and 14 in that rack. Pretty amazing shavers.
