Home Anodizing Set-up

[TomG]

I took the day off work today and was able to finish up most of the anodizing bench That I started on Sunday. The buckets arrived today as well and I was happy to see that they fit without issue. It's always a risk designing something without all of the components available. Next, I'll need to plan out the electrical system. It'll need to be 220 volts to accommodate the three 2000 watt immersion heaters, along with the air pump for the bubblers and possibly some timers for the various anodizing steps.

There are still a few things to finish up on the bench. The top edge of the box needs to be finished somehow to protect it from moisture, the corners of the box needs to be sealed with RTV and the bench top needs to be fabricated, hinged, and some gas struts installed to hold it open.
