[small update]Goin' copper
I know this has been done here many times in the past, but I was trolling over at OCN and stumbled across a copper tubing thread and got the itch(had the itch back in early 2000s but never did come to fruition) .
I love the symmetrical look of it(and of course the copper look).
So I bought these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Push-In-Mal...642?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3ca4386362
And shopped around at home depot for the tubing, pipe bender, and cutter this afternoon.
I will be "upgrading" to the Koolance pipe fittings if all goes well(didn't want to blow $120 +/- on fittings if it doesn't work out)
I will try to do a build log as soon as the fittings arrive and I get all other components.
If all goes well I will replace the fittings and the copper tube with nickel plated or polished stainless tube...
