Looks good, I like the fit-up and your pie cuts, great looking welds also!

Thanks! Everything really seemed to fit together just right on this one, I never had to cut anything a second time, I guess I got lucky haha.

PS: The new blue mountain dew in the first pic is horrible. It tastes like watered down starbursts.

Looks well done. Consistent welds and not really any excess cuts.

i'll never do pie cuts like that again since discovering tight radius pipe bends. a hell of a lot less work and even less likely to fail.

damn thats a lot of money for a 90* ... why not get a u-bend and cut it in half? its tube instead of pipe so its cheaper and lighter than sch10 pipe.

the U bends that I get aren't a tight enough radius.
