In this video I begin my Lion Boiler build in 5" gauge starting with the tube plate. Material is 2mm thick copper sheet.
This is the beginning of what will be a long process of copper forming and silver soldering, both of which I don't have allot of experience, doing so it will be a steep learning curve.
