As it happens one of the best pipefitters I have had the pleasure of working with retired on Friday age 76 and as fit as a fiddle.
No doubt like yourself he would need a lesson or two on the A frame.
Im not talking about stilson swinging pipefitters.
Copper pipe pipefitters who see nothing but copper day in day out who will have perhaps two or three A frames lined up for different size piping.
Two or three ton of the stuff delivered to the site for use over 4 to 6 week periods.
Are you sure about that? He seems to be fluent in it.doitall said:Ballski you couldn't teach me ziltch.

Make a nipple chuck from one piece of pipe (same size as the nipples to be cut and long enough to be captured in both jaws of the pipe machine) and a CPLG. TOE of the pipe which will be chucked in the pipe machine but give it a long thread and screw the CPLG on a bit farther than you usually would to make up a regular joint, then thread the nipple into the CPLG such that your nipple will butt up to the end of the pipe when screwed into the CPLG, this keeps the nipple from getting jammed in the CPLG. It works for the occasional use but not as easy as having the right tool, a nipple chuck.
Let me know if you have any problems understanding this crapitall.
cut a thread on both ends about 100mm long.
cut the pipe 21mm from the threads.

How are going to cut a 100mm thread on both ends and then cut 21mm from the threads when the pipe is only 200mm long. ???
