  Gud idea!

> How about copper water pipe with soldered joints? 

  Perfect, but Cu sags a lot, even thick
hard tubing needs braced often if horizontal,
vertically I have built several gud ant.
  I use Sil-flow 5 from Allstate welding 
products {1750 degrees f needed} map gas works fine.

(10' of 1/2" thin wall is less than $5 at home depot.
0.61" outside)

      I upgraded to LINUX, the more I use it, the more I love it.
        It doesn't do everything for you, you must program it.
