are you going to solder a Barb on to stop the pipes working there way off nice job by the way . peter |
| AdeV:
Hi Peter, Thanks :) I hope I'm not boring too many people with multiple photos of what are, often, straightforward milling or turning ops... I won't need to put barbs on this time; the pipe run is so short that it won't have room to shake off; and the pipes actually grip the spigots extremely well (so well, I had to unscrew the spigots with the pipes on, stick 'em in the vice to pull the pipe off again!). The other end of 2 of the 3 pipes is a meaty screw-on fitting which won't go anywhere, the 3rd is another spigot, but again, there's no-where for the pipe to go... I'll put a photo up later today which will show you what I mean. |

Hi Ade, it's good to see you back on it again, and getting so close to the end. I was thinking about all the neat things I could make out of such a large chunk of aluminum, back when you started, but you've really made this a nice project, and done something unique, and that's what I enjoy about our hobby. Very nice work, and very inovative ways to get around problems. Well done if I may say so. :jaw: :beer: Cheers, mad jack |
| AdeV:
Thanks Jack, it's much appreciated :) Peter, as this photo shows, the pipe run is very short: The 3 pipes are pretty much right next to each other, and I think it'll be impossible for them to shake loose under any circumstances. No machining today I'm afraid, tomorrow I hope to start on the sloped bits. |
