This may be a bad question... but if the brazed ends are imperfect and leak, how will you repair them? They'll be oil contaminated and a drag to try and reflow the braze.

Spaghetti is good.
Whats a HydraZorb Dave? Tie downs? Made one up so far at the end where the hoses connect to the cylinders. Will make more for the long lines. Using maple as I don't have any plastic big enough and refuse to pay what they want for the commercial ones.
Please don't go there Al, just don't go there.

They look like a pretty simple and not-too-expensive clamp

but I'm sure Greg will have something better whipped out in minutes.

Thanks Pete, won't be a better clamp but cheaper.

I see a lot of work going on there, nice, clean results ..

Well done

The 6 spool control valve was too small for the 5/8th lines but thought I could get away with silver soldering adaptors with smaller hex's but still too tight. 
Made spacers to stager the nuts and give room for the wrench. The Hardinge really shines when internal threading to a shoulder, the male threads were easy with the O-ring groove at the bottom. The female end needed a 12 deg taper for the O-ring to seat.



Spacers installed and nuts tight.



The hard lines are now done, can start making up hoses to the cylinders that swing.

Greg, you do good work!

Yeah he does but he is too slow! He is messing with my life. I check this thread five times a day to see the progress. Do you realize it is nearly May Greg? I have things to do and my wife is hammering on me to get some firewood made. But I have to wait until you get your processor up and running and making wood so I know what not to do.

Have a heart and get this thing finished. Please!
