Google translates "ein guter Busch" as "a good scrub".
I wonder if that refers to a scrubbing b(r)ush or a scrubber?
Are you sure you read that correctly - Germans can get confused betwen their bushes and their shrubs

I get everywhere
Did you only use galvanised because that's what you could liberate?I'll bet it isn't as cheap as a bit of conduit from work
Presumably no reason not to use BE in the walls of a house?
Can you recommend a make of stock & die, or are they all much the same?
Or any to avoid or a price-below-which-to-be-suspicious?
I personally would stick with galv, just to rule out any risk of corrosion.
Alot of the old slip jointed stuff you come across is in pretty bad condition these days, but it's not to say that BE isn't manufactured to better standards these days.
I paid about £35 for my stocks, and both 20mm and 25mm dies and guides.
Mine were made by 'ARC brand' of Herts, England, but I think they are all pretty much the same, aslong as they are not cheap nasty Chinese imports.
Don't forget to use cutting compound. It will make a huge difference to how long they last, and ensure nice sharp clean threads.
I prefer trefolex, but temaxol is ok as an alternative.

Yes but you can't make your chips with cutting compound
Very tidy job!
