How to Build a Copper “Moonshine” Still – Part 1

This video on building copper distillation equipment covers tools and safety.

Safety:
Always use gloves, safety goggles, and a VOC mask. Also, make sure you work in a well ventilated area.

Tools:
To build the copper still featured in this video, you’ll need locking pliers or a clamp of some sort, a hammer (preferably ball peen), a mace / dolly, anvil, sledge hammer, or some sort of scrap metal to hammer against, and a stiff wire brush or some sand paper. Additionally, you’ll need a plumbing torch. Regular propane will do. MAP gas is not necessary. Also, oxy acetylene is overkill. Don’t use it unless you are a skilled metal worker because it could damage your copper still.

This how to make a copper “moonshine” still video series runs through the process of building 5 and 10 gallon Clawhammer Supply copper “moonshine” stills (www.clawhammersupply.com). Or, for more info, feel free to call (970.541.0569) or send us an email at info@clawhammersupply.com. Thanks!
