Nice work Canuck. Sexy manifold. I'm working on a similar project right now with only 3w LEDs for a custom lighting fixture to shine through pigmented epoxy voids in wood. Thankfully I can just use a couple inches of aluminum 1x1 angle as a heat sink hidden behind the fixture, with some thermally conductive electrically insulative epoxy to glue them on.
When the snow flies I'll start working on my wood stove heat exchanger to heat water in the winter. That will look a lot like this project with a copper manifold and water jacket loops around the sides of the wood stove. I splurged on TEG modules to go between the wood stove and water block to make a couple hundred watts while I heat the water.

Nice to see some other makers around
