That cylinder was a heck of a find.

You, sir, are an amazing builder! I am thankful that our paths have crossed. Thank you for sharing.

Just gave me a great idea of using an old water tank to build a wood fire pool heater! I would love to see you build one in a vid!

I have now officially watched all your videos, and honestly it's the best way i could have spent my time. You are truly a patient man. You have a passion for your work. It is easy to create something beautiful from something that is already beautiful, but taking the diamonds in the rough and polishing it to a pristine shine, that takes time, patience and skill! You are my new favorite reason to watch KZfaq, and i'm looking forward to all your future videos.

Hello from Spain, I have discovered your channel and I am impressed with the beautiful things you have done recycling wood. I will follow you with great interest. thank you very much for sharing your work with us Greetings Gelo

Just found your channel, watched the wardrobe build first, dog's bollocks that mate awesome commitment and a beautifully finished bit of work. Subscribed, put the word out and eagerly await future video's. I teach 13yr to 18 yr old lads with behavioural issues woodworking, engineering and practical based skills to give them an opportunity to gain employment when they come out of education, I will be showing them your video's as an inspiration to what you can achieve with imagination, creativity and dedication to your idea's. Thank you so much for sharing. All the best from up north 👍

Wow, tired just watching you save that big piece of copper!😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

When I used to strip foam lagged cylinders, I used a garden spade. It was maybe a little easier. Try it for your self and see. Thanks for the videos, I love your ingenuity!

Браво! Удивительное трудолюбие! Восхищаюсь твоими способностями и талантом! Удачи!

I've decided I need all the tools you have to make the amazing things you do. Problem is, I know for a fact they won't look like your finished products! Love what you do, amazing skills, wish you could teach my sons!!

wow, but... that thing would have made such an impressive beer brewer! 😍🤗😋

I am running out of your videos. I may well end up with withdraw symptoms. But in any case I will watch them again. Looked like hard work with the preparation like the deadercation to achieve what you have set out to do.

Like peeling the world's biggest orange. You do lovely work man!

Love that bandage on the finger! 😂👍👍

What an amazing, inspiring and dedication artistic work, just found out about your channel and subscribed instantly. Can't wait to see the bookcase. Just mesmerizing.

excellent

Great haul Epic Dude 👍thought I'd watched all your vids but some are coming up as not watched, well may as well dig in! Stay safe n well Jason. TFS, GB :)

You’re definitely not afraid of hard work.

Nice! I used our old tank to make the fire pit for the garden using the dished bottom for the pit and the dome from the top as a lid. Fortunately mine was not foam lagged!

Yes sir, you are amazing! Already subscribed, hit the bell AND shared your channel with hubs and Dad...both into woodworking. I can't wait to see what you come up with next. Your creativity is awe inspiring--so please keep it up!

I just watched sooo many of your videos! I’m wanting to turn my basement into a sewing studio and want everything to be up cycled but I cannot do any of this!!! I want the walls to be old pallet boards or reclaimed wood barn wood. My sewing table would... well crap where do you live!? I could just let you get into the basement and do your magic!!!

Copper galore

Far out amazing 😍

My greetings from Greece, just found you, love your work i saw the vid with the closed from the pallets and im amazed. Just subscribed.

Hmm. Copper and pallet bookcase you say? I shall look forward to that.

I do a lot of quilting work with reclaimed fabric from old clothes like jeans and whatnot as well as fabric promo banners (Currently working my way through a Superbowl banner from my nearest airport that is going to get turned into tote bags) and the seam ripping and cutting to prepare it for use is the hardest part for me, so I can sympathize with the little notes while you were chipping away at the insulation. I imagine you'll either find some use for that copper tubing or sell it for scrap, maybe put that cash into getting more nails and stuff?

I figured this guy had to be from Europe. These copper tanks would be rare finds here in the States. Most everything here is sold to recycle companies for their scrap metal value.

I've become a definate fan. The only thing i'd have done differently with this copper tank is if you'd cut down between the inlet and outlet pipes it would have given you a bigger expanse of clean copper. Just a thought...

I would have cut the cylinder closer to the holes and use as much of the plain sheet as possible. But that me, on this side of the screen. I often cut first and think after too...

Somehow I found one of your video, im addicted to your video's now! Amazing skills! I got only one question, i noticed your ring on your left hand..why.. Maby to personal to ask, but i keep asking myself .. why😅

Do you sell your work? I am sure I can’t afford but a girl can always dream . . .I just binge watched the coffee table, sideboard, wardrobe, etc.

that there was the perfect still.

Very cool! And resourceful! Where do you find an old water heater like this?

Gostei.

The steropor sound jajajajajaj😝

copper water heater ? not in the states .. here they are made of steal that rust out

Awesome! I'm very curious how you'll use this copper :)

It's quite a process stripping one of them down by the looks of it Jason but does everything from it get used? Quite fascinating to watch my friend 👍🏼👍🏼

If youre pushed for time I always use an angle grinder with a thin metal cutting disc. it;s a hell of a lot quicker but you will need gloves, eye and ear protection.* edit after watching full video you really should be wearing gloves all them copper splinters and sharp edges wont do your hands any favours

Seeing how easily you could slide the scraper in behind the tanks insulation, I'm wondering if you could slice out a 6" wide channel of it, Then lift it off the copper tank in bigger slabs by hitting it with compressed air? If you got the air jet angled just right I'd think it would pop the insulation off the tank a couple square feet at a time. It wouldn't help where there's encapsulated pipes in the stuff, But if it made the other 90% easier to remove it would still be a win.

It's good that you're wearing gloves

What is that stuff? We don't have hot water systems covered in that suff in Australia.

Just curious why you chose to split it where you did. It wasn't near the fittings, it was right through the middle of the best part of the copper.

Nice score on all that copper, although decidedly tough to get to. Lots of fun stuff to do with it now. I rung the bell and hungry for more of your great projects. Really enjoy how you perceive of and execute your beautiful projects and particularly with reclaimed materials. I'd love to know what band saw blade you used on the reindeer...looked like a 3/8" but the tooth count made impressive cuts on that big block! Surprised the heat didn't get it. Thanks for all you are bringing to us! ~PJ

I'd of burnt it off or something 🤣 Mmm dual tank my house only had single tank and cold tank 👍 I'm cracking me old tank see how much coil in there lol mmm that tank had a spare hole for immersion heater nice

✌️👍

Mmmmm wonder how you'll upcycle the dreaded foam 😨😂

Very cool! But where on earth would I find such a thing? I'm in the States. Do our water heaters even use copper like that?

You could have just left it assembled and made a huge still. Or even a tank for epic homebrews.

I've collected some copper over the years, had about 3lbs at most. This is what, 10lbs, 15lbs worth? How many things that can be made with all this copper...

Are you sure that green stuff doesn't have asbestos in it?

Loving your video's. I just wish sometimes you'd explain some things in them instead of just doing your thing.

Where would I find one of those? Better question Where would I need to look? Salvage yards?

Was that spray foam?

How do you get ahold of your materials. I can understand the pallets, stores throw them out like last weeks newspaper but how do you find these copper cylinders?

Curious to know why you didn't split the tank close to some of the pipes. That would have given you a potentially larger chunk of copper with no holes.

What was it originally???

Doesn't that foam dissolve in acetone?

By the way, what was that green stuff? Insulation?

Nowt gets wasted in your house jason !!

It's almost worth the expense to just go out and buy the sheets of copper.

jeesus cant handle the squeek sound D:
