    Will do , it will be a little while. A bit more research and a bit more saving up $

      Cool! I think I might research into the whole thing as well. That way I can make a larger carbon bottle.

        The building part should not be too bad , I trying to decide wether to make it out of P.V.C or spend a little more $ and order this High pressure vessel I found on the web. I've been trying to find the proper head.{Its like this one}

                Looks fancy for a carbon bottle! How much does it cost?

                  I found one for about $100, without the head . 6'' PVC is fifty $ at Lowes for 10' ,they don't sell it any shorter. It will be about another $40-$50 for the rest of the parts {excluding the carbon}. It will all depend on how cheap I can find a non electronic head for ?
