The stuff I was working on was both unflanged and unpressurized, which is easier to work with but still not all that fun.Roberta Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956807794520627885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-61235249673776053702009-10-24T18:54:14.302-04:002009-10-24T18:54:14.302-04:00That's a PITA to work with.

(The saw does spew bits of copper everywhere. Eye protection required, face shield highly recommended).

The stuff to do a little light plumbing work. <br /><br />Or, with something to wind it on the basic material for an HF tank coil - a matching network for a Sterba curtain, or the worm for a distillery. A heater core for a water cooled motorcycle. <br /> <br />Or even a tunnel range for a .04 (1 mm) caliber pepperbox. <br /><br />Your call. <br /><br />StrangerStrangerhttp://callejonextrano.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-11803083743238126162009-10-23T16:17:04.555-04:002009-10-23T16:17:04.555-04:00They are used to construct stills deep in the hill...They are used to construct stills deep in the hills of Tennessee.Timmeehhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473249796933057572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837660608809488753.post-43515398853962773462009-10-23T07:33:20.827-04:002009-10-23T07:33:20.827-04:00That's easy... they are the raw material used ...That's easy... they are the raw material used to construct a Raven .25.Tango Juliethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593296126387219845noreply@blogger.com
