I have never built a boiler. A scrap metal place nearby often has thick walled copper pipe the right diameter for a boiler. Since any, much less "good boiler building technique" is in my experience . . . what instruction guidelines exist? Where is it possible to learn?

" I would say one important consideration in that instance, in addition to using good boiler building technique, would be to use water tubes which are as thick-walled as you can find, certainly thicker than standard soft copper plumbing tubing. Regards, Harry"
