Yes, and there are a lot of nice stills out there. Some "table top" models as well, all electric. 180 proof no problem.
Here are some links

i have a buddy that makes it's good stuff
yep my uncle pershing had his own set up out in the old chicken coop.
I remember him giving me my first shot of it.
my pop still has his mini kitchen set-up that went on the wood stove.
My research shows you really don't want 180-190 proof if your gonna drink it 90-100 is more than enough. You can cut the Alcohol with good distilled water this is called "proofing" you need a hi alcohol hydrometer to do this. Also do not use Aluminium for any part of a still, there is some kind of chemical reaction that can poison you! You can distill any fermentation. My Great Grandfather walked of the boat from Italy and use to make "Grappa" in the fall. This was made with the second pressing of the wine grapes and unfortunately before my time! Thought about doing this but it is Illegal unless you distill water or get a licence from the feds to distill corn for an alternate fuel.

I uh, have a passing acquaintance with the process....
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!

BTW: ANY still not made of 100% copper is a joke if you want good likker!
Looking at a stovetop kit now, for Ethenol purposes only mind you!

The unit I am building has a stainless steel pot but the rest is food grade copper. I hope to make some low grade, about 100 proof fuel for proper aging in oak barrells.

Just the other day, in a local antique mall, I ran across a small, 'tabletop' set-up that kinda reminded me of a classic Irish 'poteen' still...cylindrical copper vessel, coiled copper tubing, and ceramic catcher jug. Didn't look like it would take an awful lot to get it working and I remember thinking..."wonder if they'll haggle on that price".

LMAO.... Good one lol
Franklin County, our neighboring county, is the moonshine capitol of the world and has been for many decades.
Most of these ol' boys around here use pot stills without thumpers. Pot stills are a lot easier to build, run, tear down and transport. When they're done with a 'run', they take the cap and condenser and abandon the rest in place. The cap and condenser are the most important parts, the rest of the still can be built with commonly available material.
The thumper makes a bit too much noise to suit these boys, so they choose to do without it. You'd be surprised how far that thumping sound will carry down a valley.
I've had the priveledge of seeing a 'run' being done and I think it's fascinating. Even with steel barrels, if it's properly done, the old masters can turn out some really smooth product.
The business continues to thrive into the 21st century.
Yep, I've read a book on it, and seen it made once or twice, I forget where!

I was thinking more along the line of making a worm for it and cooking up some high octane!!!
