Congratulations Edi, A Very Nice Build. Nelson

I had the need for some copper washers some time ago and made them from a piece of tubing. Copper tubing comes in several OD's.

$200 is a drop in the bucket compared to what they cost. Yes it will sit in the shop 90% of the time but every hour spent on it will reward the owner every time. I would jump on it if it was in my area. Nelson
