| rayl | Scratch Built Consolidated XF-92A | Build | 23-Feb-15 12:24 |  | | Views : 989 | | The best way to bend brass tubing is to anneal it it first by heating until it is just starts to turn a dull red, let cool then slip the spring over the tubing and (within limits) bend away. Aluminum tubing is soft enough to bend without any annealling. The little butane torch at the top was purchased from Menards: $6.00 for the torch and $5.00 for a life-time supply of Butane in a aerosol can. |

It can be used on tubing from 1/16" to 3/16" O.D. (I don't think that you can find it for $1.75 anymore however. |
