How about we build a tool library..............

[fatdaddy]

to aid all new and repeat builders ?

I have donated my hard line bender and flare tool, Rus has it at the moment [along with a bag of ferrules and ends]. When he's used it he will pass it on as requested.

Anyone else have anything ?

[fatdaddy]

bit short on entries here !!

another thing I can offer is inspection.
As you know my time is very limited but i would be happy to cast an eye over your installation to see if I can see potential faults or problems.
You will need to travel to me...................

i have a hydraulic crimp tool for cable ends, bring your cable and crimps and ill do them for you, you can borrow but break it and replace, and i may need it back fairly soon.

could do with knocking up a hardline once russ is done

[pete]

oh and has anyone got a plasma cutter i can borrow?

[fatdaddy]

Jon S wants to borrow the bender.
Rus, I cant remember if you still have it or not ?

[Jon]

I have a range of Benders (Phnaarr!), its the flare tool i would like to borrow 

thanks

[Jon]

Have you thought about Swagelok fittings jon.
I used to use them on my Harverters, dead easy to fit and Stainless if you want them. Self containes lovking system with no flairing.

i had a brochure come through for these, Staúf are also doing a similar looking connector but stainless prices seem to be through the roof ! I have heard you can get away with a 45' flare instead of a 37' flare which brings the cost of the tooling right down, i was even thinking of buying a 45' and machining a replacement 37' die to go in it !!!

what we have to do eh ?

erm... hey ya'll... i still have the bender and flare tool if you need it jon? I can bring to Bug Jam? i Iant used it yet, i just have what Iain gave me, never had to look at it even as yet......

[fatdaddy]

i think there are some flares and nuts in the box ?

[rudey]

ive got some flares in my wardrobe too... i'll bring them if necessary!!

[fatdaddy]

now there's a surprise................................

Hey there,

Well i have managed to source all the tools myself now so i'm in no rush, i was hoping to get it all done by Bugjam but i only managed to find a 37' flare tool at a reasonable price last week and wont have time now.

Its all cool, thanks for the offer of bringing it along to BugJam but put beer in the car instead !

Cheers.
