Don't throw your old brass taps into the brass bin!

Hey all,
Here's an easy value-adding exercise to get much better value for your old brass taps than scrap!

Brass is so beautiful when cleaned. I love it. Do you use instagram?

Not sure if this will work but I make lots of stuff from old brass and copper. Looks further down my page and also the first pic

That's awesome Scott! Love the coin rings and the chess sets are pretty cool! Nice work mate!
I have plans of making electric lamps out of old drills and even floor polishers! I eventually hope to have all sorts of upcycle projects on my youtube channel! Still trying to set up a workshop at the moment - and it's been tooooo hot to do anything!
Cheers,
Chris

Thanks so much Chris. I have ideas for electric lamps too. Though nervous about Aussie regs. Though I am a UK qualified sparky!

Where are you based?

[Chris]

I'm about an hour north of Melbourne Scott. I run a secondhand/antique shop and get to clean out sheds quite often which gives me a large range of scrap - and lots of things to upcycle!!
I was a small engine mechanic for many years and also repaired appliances, so I have no issues doing lamps! Just gotta find the time!
