Did your neighbor know you were melting his gutters? 😆, great video, thanks for sharing.

Hah, yeah luckily he let us have them when he was getting a new roof on his house. Some years ago our other neighbour got their gutters made out of copper stolen.. pretty brave copper thieves :P

What are you guys going to do with that zinc?

[@jakobhalskov]

Of course to have a zinc bar for show off and later on we will be making brass by alloying it with copper (I got so so many copper cables stashed up, ready to be melted). I have a few brass casting projects in mind :)

@@jakobhalskov Great! Hope to see that video soon

you should really explain what zinc is good for. Its uses for other projects. The more details the better it is considered 'informative
