The carpentry skills needed to build this type of a solar still are “moderate,” which is to say a beginner might struggle with getting it built correctly.

If you have the skills, however, this type of solar still is an effective way to vaporize and distill water.

Perfecting this type of solar still might take some trial and error, which the creator of the video made clear, but the basic functionality of it, as the video showed, is reliable.

I thought of lining the inside with plastic, for instance, as a way to waterproof the box without having the water come in contact with chemicals.

Can you think of ways of improving on this solar still?
