Its not that hard mate. If you want to give it a go check out YouTube for how to vids.

If you're not the hands on type any plumber should be able to help you out. You may be able to trade labour for product. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Just like selling, bartering with homemade spirits is a big no-no :naughty: :law-policered:

Yep. Use the standard minesite currency. The carton. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

However cash is still king.

My welding looks like a pidgeon had a spicy vindaloo ... I should have been more specific I have no probs getting tig stainless / alloy etc just brazing copper I thought would be better left to someone who’s work speaks for itself.

If you can TIG stainless do that and just have copper in the vapour path somewhere.
Copper might look nice but it also does not take much to damage.

I would not make a boiler from copper.
