Bending copper tube

[ACDC]

I'm trying to learn how to bend copper tube correctly- passovers and offsets in particular. Can anyone suggest any sources of good instructions & clear diagrams?
Thanks

I'm based in Nottingham - a bit too far away, but thanks for the offer.
I've enrolled on a 3 day OLCI practical course soon, so I guess I will get some experience there.

ACDC,

I would be interested to hear your comments on the OLCI course, as this is something I am considering doing, as well as the theory part.

Will let you know via this forum at the end of Februray how it went.

just buy a selection of angles in copper,include crank sets and all other angles can be made with a combination of 135 degree .part cross overs.buy end feed and clip pipes first.

To true Kev.

This dinasaur can bend pipes anywhere, doing a row of 7 x 28mm at the moment with offset, bends etc.

Today I save at least 30 28mm fittings, thats alot of bread.

And there all in line
