Copper Tube

[Guest Jaffer]

Yes takes ages... it comes down yer by 'lectrickery to Plymouth, but after that all the interwebbery gets delivered by donkey!!

 

Copper hardens with age or with being 'worked'... age hardening would be adequate for my 2B build, but assuming you need things to move along a little quicker than Cousin Jack pace, you could try bead or grit blasting the finished assembly. Obviously, this will effect the finish, but I understand that this is used to help work harden copper...

 

Just a thought
