I just got offered 2 metres of 6" copper in good condition for $140, I was looking for 1 metre of 4", I could use 6" with a push but don't need 2 metres and he would not cut it. BTW 1 metre is $180 per metre trade price here. :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
I am tying to rack my brain for what I could build with 6"tube, any ideas :?:

The best bunger gun in the street :wink:

I found a local scrappie that sells for $7/kg but a lot of plumbing stuff. Dirty, bent and green.
Some of the joints done by plumbers are scary. One piece went from 2" to 1/2" without a joiner in sight. Just crimped and soldered.
