Bubble caps made from plasma cutter tips.
I don't know if anyone here has done it yet but it looks like it can be done.

I started planning to go this route until the price of the tips started getting as high as buying pre-made caps.

Re: Bubble caps made from plasma cutter tips.
Your right if labor is taken into account.
Buying from amazon. plasma cutter tips can be bought for $2 each, 1/2" copper end caps $1, #8 SS allen bolts $0.25.
For around $3.25 per cap plus lots of free labor is cheap compared to $10-$15 for store bought bubble caps.
Not saying it's building time, but I've been known to spend more on material to make something than what it costs to buy it.
