Thank you sir, that's enough

Just some more pipe photos. Soldering copper and compression fittings.  We can hook up a water hose and test these little systems we make. I did get a bit wet. 

 We are marked on the measurements of the cuts of pipe, how everything looks, and how well it is put together. The goal is to NOT have any water leak out. 

 This is soldered. I misspelled it in the past posts. You use a little torch with one hand and a wire of solder in the other. You heat the pipe and the solder melts into the space between the fitting and the pipe. When you have something in each hand and one of them is a constant flame...it gets a bit interesting. 

This is using the same kind of pipe but with different fittings that you tighten with two wrenches.
We measure and cut each piece, and make the bends. I still need to take some time learning how to use a pipe bender..there are right bends and left bends I'm not sure how they are different other then just being opposite.

This is showing two ways to thread a pipe. By hand and by machine. The photo on the right, the tool is called a reamer.  I don't know if you are familiar with the term 'I'm going to ream you a new butt hole' but this gives it a whole new meaning.

This is a faster way to thread a pipe. It also cuts and reams. I love these photos. You must too, thanks for the all the views. Its probably more interesting in person, I'm tired and I am going to be at school tomorrow at 8 to do some welding.
