Thanks Jim, it will be a little tricky getting the height of the vertical tubes coming from the water jacket just the right height so that the horizontal tubes are both level and parallel to each other, but doable I am sure. Also getting the lengths just right as well. But I agree it will look much better than flexible tubing.Oh by the way, you had asked about solder on another thread as I recall. I used the PMR solder in this application and it worked perfectly.Bill
Plan B on the flywheels. The lathes at work, need some fine tuning and tightening of gibs, etc. which I haven't had the time to do. So another route. Today I ordered the riser blocks for the lathe head and the tailstock, and the tailstock extender which has been on the want list for a while. This will allow the flywheels to be done here. Part of the decision is that the next project will require them as well. So stay tuned. This weekend I will finish up the piping instead.Bill
Chris, a higher tool post comes with the headstock riser. If I want to raise the QCTP, I will need to make a riser for that myself. The tailstock extender is shown herehttp://sherline.com/product/1220-tailstock-spindle-extender/Bill
