How to build a copper Moonshine Still Part 2 From Distillery Network

In this video I will show you how to soldier the main body of the pot. I apologize for the bad audio.

Nicely done good sir.

[@matthewhardin1615]

Could use a few small ratchet straps during initial securing of your copper

[@lebakengsello1448]

this is very interesting i would like to learn more by just watching .

If you have questions let me know

[@Mbonner73]

Could you rivit the lap then solder it to free up those areas where the clamps are at?

[@christianhufton6445]

Seems like a good idea to me

[@bryansworkbench8585]

Definitely something to consider. But with something that’s holding liquid or building pressure the less hole you put in it the better

[@draygerard4550]

thanks

[@donaldroyer2961]

I've already asked you this I just didn't give you any details. 1) What thickness do you recommend for a still you plan to make around an 8-10 gallon pot and will use around 1-2 times a month? Thank you for any input you share

[@bryansworkbench8585]

I’d use 16oz min on the pot and thump

[@be-you-tifulwithcheridan8231]

I believe this kit comes with 20 oz....I could be wrong.

[@bryansworkbench8585]

@@be-you-tifulwithcheridan8231 you are correct copper isn’t measured in the same way that regular metal is. With regular sheet metal the higher ga. The thinner the metal. Copper is measured in OZ per sq ft to 20 is thicker then 16. If you didn’t already know that.

sorry but hey dummy clamps are acting as a heat sink

[@bryansworkbench8585]

What no way!!!! Crazy you mean you put another piece of metal on metal it will steal heat. You would think my years of of welding would have taught me that😪 fun fact also a way you keep it from warping and control it when your tig welding but Dan thanks for watching.
