Its not real pretty and I pretty much copied your first tutorial set up. The rectifier was given to me by a friend that doesnt use it any more. The small tubs of lye and acid sit in tubs with lids. I have arm length gloves that are rated for this. And a simple system for storing different dyes.
Ambient tempeture in my shop is 80+ so I dont heat the solutions just let them soak. The aluminum bar used as the anode across the top lets me just clamp the wires right to it I can slide things around as needed. I use grade 2 titanium wire, (hanging in the first picture). I used a roof flashing for pipes I bought a Lowes. I cut it into 4 pieces for the cathodes.
I have a hot plate to heat the water and use doggy water dishes we picked up at garage sales for that. I have 2 qts of each color, adding 1 oz of dye to 2 qts of deionized water.
