Freestanding Cylinder Reservoir
I credit Paulieg over at TPU for getting me off my butt to make a reservoir. He wanted a freestanding one and I happened to have some 2" OD optical clarity cast acrylic 1/4" wall tube laying around...well carefully put away actually.
     I'll post up the build process. The ports could be located differently and I think I would eliminate one of the side ports if I was building one for myself and use the bottom as a pickup instead of a drain...but basically it would be identical. Whaddya think? I like it because it's not building a dang box...box reservoirs are a major PITA (ask Syrillian  ) and I just don't want to make anymore...but cylinder reservoirs are relatively painless to make...so I might make a few (at least till I run out of tube  )

 Now a tube...that's a gift of nature right there...only two glue joints   Optical Clarity Cast Acrylic from US Plastic  Holesaw will make a mess of the acrylic and put a hole in the center which I do not want  However it goes through particle board like a dream...  And particle board will make a good template for the router :up:  But I don't want the router to work too hard so a quick trim...  A shot of 777  And onto the bevel bit.  This will get sanded while attached to the template.  Then popped off  and cleaned  and polished on the wheel.  A quick look before I tape up the tube.  Another template for the top  You know the drill...tapped to G-1/4  squirt  route  polish  And glued up.  Letting it cure before leak testing.
