got2envy Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Tease!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice werk! Link to comment
cptbjorn Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I see almost zero bevel/sag/whatever on the edges of the bends, pretty badass considering its 3/8". Nice. Bent is much better looking than solvent welded IMO, if the rest of the tank comes together like what you've shown so far I think you'll have an advantage from the start. Looking good Link to comment

Tease!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice werk! you know you like it I see almost zero bevel/sag/whatever on the edges of the bends, pretty badass considering its 3/8". Nice.
