Default Solar hot water space heating for the shop

A little light production is made. The copper risers for the solar collector. It is a mundane task and its going to take some time. I've about 90 pcs to make. You guys probably know what I mean. Those jobs when you just need to go though the motions with your mind shut off. One after another till one day, Hey I've got them all finished, On to the next step.

The copper tube was recycled from the old oil furnace that was removed from the shop and I believe some more was donated. The copper fin material was purchased for the collector I had made for the house. Believe it or not it was cheaper to make a minimum order for the slit copper and scrap what I didn't use than buy the quantity I required only.

Still a little cold and snowy for out-side work anyway. Its a little disappointing too that we haven't seen a lot of sun this season. Its been very cold lots of snow and more cloud than one can stand.
