Ed Klepeis turned me on to a place that has cheap tubing bends.
I needed some 1-1/2" OD 90 degree el's for the dyno engine plumbing. Unfortunately
all they had in stock was .125 wall but the price was one quarter of what
Burns Stainless is charging. A bit thick and heavy for water plumbing
however.

The other problem with .125 wall is it is nearly impossible
to form a hose barb bead with a beading tool so I made this tool.
It uses a 1/4 inch square lathe turning tool. It will work with
90 or 180 bends. Sure you can cut a hose barb on a lathe and weld
it one.
