people who want to make "column stills" usually end up putting a column on top of a boiler stuffed with stainless steel or copper "cleaning scrubbies" because they do what stills like that try to do but cheaper and better still a pot still is a better + cheaper place to start. especially if you want to make flavored drinks such as brandy, whisky, gin column stills are mostly just good for making 95% abv ethanol and cost more, take more skill, etc. pot stills are cheap / easy to diy and are a lot more forgiving for novice distillers
