He's a bender!!

[Kyle87]

I've been at it again.

Been neglecting my bender so thought I'd put it to use today.

Hot and cold feed to basin need to clear a couple of heating pipes

Every bend is one less potential leak!!

Keep practicing lol

Pee off!! They are mint!! Lol

 

[Ermintrude]

Practice makes perfect! Good to see your taking a pride in your work. Lucky customers!

 

[Gray0689]

Lol you reckon getting there but

Customer is a father of an old friend of my brothers. He's a carpet fitter and a very good one too.

I feel showing him that I take pride in my work will open a few doors as he's always busy and will pass my name about.

I like using the pipe bender, don't do much now, but when I'm doing any work it's far better to use it than fittings, once you get your eye in with the first couple again it's easy peasy

 

[Kyle87]

Even a bad bend is a far cry better than any numpty with a bag of speedfit!!

 

[Kyle87]

Reminds me of the time I found this

They are just beautiful!!

 

[Kyle87]

The burns are classic. Don't think I'd be that bad with my sf2 on full whack, no heat may and the wall doused in petrol!!

Great to see there's still some quality artisans around

I assume this was the result of the installer cooking his lunch.

a gas boiler installed with no gas supply...... classic!

i had something simular happen. council job, full heating, remove coal/solid fuel. It was survey'd by clerk of works. So day one was rip out old and start to bang in new. 3rd day we went out side to finish the gas carcus and when we opend the meter box there was no meter. They had never had a gas meter fitted. The council had to wait 6 weeks before they could get a connection.

Put the two bits on top of each other and we can see how close they are

Kyle,

Can you put them on top of each other just so we can all see if they are identical heeeee only joking at least you can use the bender, B&Q man uses plastic.

Customer is replacing floor so told me I could butcher it as much as I needed. I cut the entire floor out for him today to help him out. Spent the last half of the day kneeling on joists.

Painful after a while!!
