You do realize this mower gets the name "Coppyrhead" right?
He's going to have to sing the song "Copperhead Road" all the time also. So, it has worked out fine already... I'm gettin' into the idea "big time!" Garry
That is a great idea! I got my curved wood out and ready. Should have some stuff up tomorrow.
I just picked up some tubing at menards for $20. Its 1"X 5' type m .5 thick. I was looking for 1 1/4 to but they don't carry it even though they sell 1 1/4 fitting??? I think 2 1/2' lengths going into a 2" collector should be good. I already have the 2" collector so altogether so far I have about $25 in it. I need to pick up silver solder but I have the torch. Oh yeah I have the caps to close off the end of the pipes so I can fill it TIGHT with wet sand so I can bend it without collapsing it in. Good thing I have a spare block for mock up since my engine is in pieces. I will try to get started on it tonight but I have a Christmas party tonight so it will have b e later. I will take pictures as I go
Lookin' forward to the pics! Could you tell me the proper flux to silver solder copper pipes? I have an oxy/act torch and some flat sticks (don't remember the silver %) of silver solder already.Garry[/quote you should not need flux with silver solder just make sure your copper is clean i would braze the joints if there not socket welds if you use copper wire for rod you could polish the joints they would appear seamless i think its very hard to weld copper with copper though, seen it done on tv one time
