DIY Copper Mug for Moscow Mule | Made from 3/4" Pipe! 

annealing is the method you are talking about. works great!

The solder likely has lead in it, though it could be the solder containing tin. I don't think I would drink out of a lead solder anything.

@@olemiss644 solder is no longer legally allowed to contain any lead.

@@RivianTramp 100% there is still lead solder. It's not legally allowed to be used on any water lines or potable lines. You were close, but yeah. There's definitely lead solder still being produced.

@@Chris.Rhodes stuff I use for work is for water lines.

@@RivianTramp Yeah. I know. Me too. But you said lead solder is illegal. It's not. It's still being sold, but you just can't use it on water lines. People use it in electronics all the time.

RONNIE SANTOS Haha, thanks. It's served in copper for the same reason you would chill a beer mug. They're very conductive so the cold drinks make the mug super cold.

This was not discussed in the video, very important.

GoodVibes51 I was just going to say something about that also. I hope to god people that attempt to make this use lead free silver solder

Jesse Tate Yup. Lead free solder.

pure Silver solder....

Of course. lol

Most solder is lead free now it’s a code now in the plumbing field

+Mike Cunningham That's exactly the first thing I saw when he suggested to use solder...

The form is a wheel from a floor jack.

jjusticeIV Thanks! That is my first experience with bitcoins. Really cool.

Suzanne Dye That was the pole barn at work. It's a nice place to work, but it can be extremely frustrating because all of the tools are broken or missing. I always tell myself just to bring my own tools and never do. I know exactly what you mean by "magic." The solder almost sucks itself into place once the temperature gets right.

MAD TICAL It's kind of hard to compare. I had about $20 bucks in supplies to make 8 of them. They sell for about $15 each online. But if you only made one, you could probably buy the little 2FT sections from home depot instead of the 10FT I bought. Then there is the size. My cups are 8oz but the ones online are 16-20oz. If it seems like work to go pound copper out in the garage for the afternoon, the savings of doing it yourself are not going to justify it.

Damien Malach I tried a mini-sledge and it actually made it bumpier. The force was too great and the had was still slightly rounded.

Mike and Lauren rubber or raw hide mallets are magical and can be picked up at home depot dead blow is nice too since you dont get as much bounce back

Yea I learned that by the 4th cup. Good tip.

Denise Gaul I just used what was available at home depot. I didn't know copper solder existed!

Yeah dude he could have DROWNED IN THAT CUP

3" copper pipe is not readily available. If you find some, you would have to buy a minimum length like 5'. Probably cost $100. You can buy 1" at home depot, 5' long. $45.

Tony Ficarra it would be fine as long as your drink isn't too acidic (like you said) and if you don't let it sit in there for a long time.

Tony Ficarra copper is safe...your whole body needs copper...do a little research...

Fool you crazy drinking from the copper pipes in your house that were soldered with flux.

+Everyday soldier You should pay attention since they used lead free solder.

Yes, but it would help to mention that in the video as a safety tip .

You are right, but Silver, being another metal, will also provoke dissolution of copper, many copper ions in the water, silver has more nobility than copper. The less noble metal will always suffer corrosion if they are in contact.

Kevin R. It wasn't certified organic, but it was free range from a local farm :) Yes, I usually change our oil, but I do agree the savings aren't substantial. I can pick up oil and a filter for $15-20 bucks at wal-mart. With a coupon an oil change is $20-30 bucks in my area. As far as simplicity, I think it's a great first step to working on your own car. It's literally a single bolt removed. There's probably a youtube video about your specific car. The thing with oil changes is that they are usually loss leaders for mechanic shops. They get you in for a cheap oil change and then up-charge you for everything else. For example, even easier than changing your oil is changing your air filter. One time we got our oil changed at a shop and they suggested replacing the air filter. They wanted $20 for the filter and $10 dollars to install. The I could buy the same filter for $7 dollars and install it in less than 20 seconds. That's what I would say is the benefit. You get exposure to a whole new world of DIY car maintenance. Once you've changed your oil, brakes, and maybe a starter or something you have a better idea of when it's worth paying a professional and when you don't mind doing it yourself.

Mike and Lauren So true! I just recently changed my own engine air & cabin air filters. Bought 'em online, they show up on my doorstep, and I had them installed in 60 seconds. Saved 2 hours of my life and at least $45. Good stuff.

Kevin R. I quit going to quick lube places It is cheaper if you don’t have to replace you oil pan because of stripped out drain plug. Plus I get to change oil without waiting in line.

hehe in principle.

walter lombardo No, es la soldadura sin plomo. I hope google translate worked!

+Mike and Lauren Funcionó! It worked!

Not if you're not selling it? Your time is worth the savings from not buying one.

copper isn't toxic you moron

Copper toxicity, also called copperiedus, refers to the consequences of an excess of copper in the body. Copperiedus can occur from eating acid foods cooked in uncoated copper cookware, or from exposure to excess copper in drinking water or other environmental sources. so who?s the moron here

nice try everything's toxic in excess

Guess how you get the excess amounts of copper :) By using uncoated copper cups and cookware or pipes

copper tubing has been used in plumbing for the last century and used almost exclusively in home plumbing for the last 50 years. I think the danger is where people use copper with acidic drinks, or cook acidic food in copper pots. I didn't look it up, but that's what rings a bell in my memory.

Copper is safe, leaded solder is BAD!

Thamer Thamer no copper isn't bad for you...

This world is too dangerous for you
