looking for someone to make one for me. I already have end caps for a liquinator and vpx cartonator. So I just need the actual tank portion. Can this be done?

Pretty easy, really. If you get tubing with the right ID, just cut it to length with a pipe cutter (cheap one from any hardware store) and then hone the ends to remove sharp edges either by hand or with a dremel.
The hard part would be finding the SS tubing that's just the right size and in a small quantity. I have no idea where to even look.
If it's just a hair too big inner diameter, you may be able to compensate and still make it work by using a thicker o-ring on the liquinator caps. I'd give you the measurement, but my liquinator and all of my cartomators are currently full of juice

Thanks for the advice. I have been looking into doing it myself, but I am not very tool savvy.
lol, don't worry about it. Those pipe cutters I refer to are pretty much idiot-proof ;-) Just screw it down until the cutter makes contact and run it around the tube a couple times, tighten down the screw a tiny bit and go around another turn or two. Repeat until cut through. You can get a cheap one from Home Depot for less than $15
As for honing down the edges, you'd want to do this so you don't cut up your o-rings when putting the caps on or cut yourself while handling it. Any round honing stone or round/half-round file should work just fine.
If you do happen to find a good source for the right size SS tubing, be sure to share. I know others are interested in SS tanks. Myself, I'm fine with the plastic 'cos I like to see my juice level
