Moin, moin...

37° in the shadow, I'm sitting perspiring on the sofa. So if I'm perspiring while I'm sitting, i can do it also while I'm building side pipes...

I got a copper pipe from the hardware store and started my work.

First I needed a bit of sand and my knee. I filled the pipe with sand and taped it on both side. After that I started to bend the pipe over my knee until it had the right angle.

To get the same angle for the second pipe, I taped to wooden blocks on the table together with a paper showing the form of the first bow.



Now I started to bend the second part on the same pipe, controlling the angle by holding it to the wooden blocks. After 2 or 3 corrections it was OK.







Now I cutted out the parts that I needed from the pipe



The top areas were cut off with the buzz saw.



The top areas were sanded and the longer pipe was cutted on the correct length







Testing together with the cabine



They will get 90° elbow fittings



That's it... Back to the sofa to fill up my water reservoir.
