Posting this here as well as in the bottom feeders thread for feedback:
I have a project where I would like to flange 10 gauge thin wall 316 hypodermic tubing. Any way to do this without special equipment? It's too small for either of my brake line flare blocks to grab. My googlefu is not coming up with anything other than companies that will do it in production run quantities. Example of what I am talking about.

Can you fabricate a flare block in proper size or drill proper size hole in an existing flare block & ridge it w/ a dremel?Posting this here as well as in the bottom feeders thread for feedback:

Big fat CONGRATS Slick......Well just left the doc for a six month check for the throat, all clear! They spray some numbing crap in your nose and throat, the inside of my head is all numb, feel like I just did ten lines, where's the rush?
What I didn't know, he told me the chances of it returning get less and less as time passes, once you clear five years you don't have to be checked anymore. I knew it was not likely to come back but I didn't know the chances get less as time passes, that makes me feel better, I still worry..... But I made it through all this, including during the treatments vaping and I'm a chain vaper, no one wants to tell me vaping is harmful! Throw those damn cigarettes away before it's too late and vape on!![]()
Great news, Willie! Too bad they can't add something to that numbing agent for the rush though![]()

Wasn't taking copy/paste, Image web-link, or even a Screen Cap for a good 1/2 hr.

I have a 30" 10 gauge piece that is just shy of 3.5mm OD and 3mm ID that I was going to try to use. It's fun reinventing the wheel.Are you trying to use a Luer-lok type connection?
If not I gotta ask, why reinvent the wheel, why not use something that already exists?
