Working in a steel plant in Vietnam on a strip cooling upgrade. Every time I walk up the steps to where the equipment is I get a niggling feeling that I should be at home working on the pipes for my RD flat tracker. Can't quite put my finger on why.....

Looks like a big bore pipe   I can see why you want to come home and build the pipe

You're right Mick, will be good to be home.
My bar bill from last Saturday night will support the Vietnamese economy for many years to come, so no problems there

I'd like to see Geoff's jig for that one.

[GMC]

I think that was one of the jigs I lost out the back somewhere

I used to make a lot of that stuff in my apprenticeship, lobster backs and cones all made out of 2 or 3mm stainless and anything from ¾” dia up to 24” dia
I swore after I left that job I would never make another cone again

[yamaico]

I swore after I left that job I would never make another cone again

How did that work out for you?

Geoff lots of difference if you are making them for VMXers
Pete I'd be getting one of those back street scooter race shops to build the cones for you
Cheaper than Maccas fries, I mean Chips.
Reminds me of my last trip to Asia where I bought a few hand made chambers for peanuts
Then startled the 20 onlookers by cutting the new pipes up with a hacksaw.

I'm a very low volume operation Graeme, and actually enjoy making pipes. If I was doing them for others like Geoff I'm sure the novelty would have worn off long ago

[jimson]

The novelty of making cones or pipes ? There's a joke there somewhere. Jimson

[Tim754]

Eerie that'd be an eagles nest? 

"The novelty of making cones or pipes ? There's a joke there somewhere. Jimson'     fella have I been biting my tongue not to get one on that... Thanks for taking the lead!

Thats one big expansion chamber!
