Looking Good Bobby. You'll probably have that machine on the road before mine at the rate you're going.

Building pipes is fun and a lot more fidly than most people would think. Getting everything to fit neat and consistent is a big part of the challenge.

When cutting the 3 1/2" bends for the slash cut outlets I put the band saw through the bend about 15mm out from the wall of the pipe. To me this gives the most pleasing looking tip.

I'll try to attach a pic of what I mean.
