Found an old copper boiler disguised as a plant pot recently. The old lady (about 70) remembers washing clothes in it. And cooking crabs :D , so its got a few stories to tell. I cant tell if its soldered or not, but its got a serious number of rivets holding it together! Its still holds water. I dont really want to destroy it just to clean and resolder the joints. But it seems such a waste just to let it rot in the garden.

As you can see its not your average plant pot size :)) Surely I can put it to use somewhere? All suggestions welcome.

Cheers Phil

Mash tun ?

If it were mine I'd be tempted to close the top and make a pot still. My skills are not up to that, but, heck, i'd give it a go anyway. I think a capable copper smith could hammer a dome from the side walls. Would look really good!

My parents have got two of these polished up and used as planter boxes. I drool every time it go over
