MAKE Projects – Volume 14

In each volume of MAKE we have “major projects” these project pages are meaty step-by-step articles with start-to-finish photos, precise instructions and how-to learning that can range from making a VCR cat feeder to ariel kite photography. In MAKE volume 03 the projects are:

    If using lead solder, that’s not safe around food! Be careful if you make this…

    I’d also wonder about copper (thinking about when my finger turns green, haha). It might come off into the food as well. Heavy metals in your candy anyone?

    Be careful.

    @subatomic:

    I see what you’re saying, but I’d like to point out that (at least in Canada) modern pipe solder is lead-free, and that these pipes are used for drinking water.

    Still, if I made it I would coat the pipe with something or use a different material.
