would it be possible for you to post the lengths of copper you got?
I'm keen to make my own one exactly like that

Hi CC,
Thanks for the kind works. And thanks for the kind words everyone!
The body is 200mm long made of 1" tube.
3/8" tube for the spout and the other part.
Top is a 1 1/4" to 1" reducer.
The other is a 1/2" to 3/8" reducer.
Good luck! I had to use a dremel to grind the bead inside the larder reducer so it would slide down the 1" tube.
Got all the tube from scrappers and the reducers cost a total of $7.50.
I reckon with solder gas and time it probably would have cost $20. But in reality it cost me 1hr and $13.

Nice, I need to make me one of these too!
Those of you who use dremels, could you please list the kind of attachments you use, and what you use them for for example what type of tool cleans up a soldered item, what do you use for cutting shhet copper. Many thanks, been a dremelist for a long time carving wood bone and greenstone, I wonder if I need to buy new burrs/cutting discs etc.
Cheers

A small chainsaw sharpening file and a couple of small fine flat files will do the job without all the fancy stuff, solder aint really hard to file away by hand ;-) .
