[Waterlogged]

haha, great thread right there.

quick how to:

Tired of spending all your money on expensive rotaries?\


Step 1


Put a rope inside your tubing.

Step 2


Tape the bend, boil it.

Step 3


put it in really cold water, then boil - freeze - boil - freeze a few times...

Step 4



waa hooo! very bent, non kinking tubing.

I've bent a few Nylon tubes with boiling water and springs before, but I think I like your method a little bit better.

Yea, I looked around for a spring to begin with, but found this piece of rope left over from my sail boat Worked great, One problem is it left a little scuff mark


Next time I'll be sure to use high quality rope or white.

Testing method: absolutely none... I just happened to have a few "before" screen shots... and a few "after" screen shots. I am however using the same thermal paste, same speed fans, same size tubing. I did however add a reservoir and add a North bridge block.

I was surfing around XS and showed my wife your project log. She said to post that she likes the wood design and contrast of the front pieces.

this OfT - I was thinking about making my own canoe the other day...

[DarkCow]

thx for the compliment =D

Go for it, a canoe will be a fun build. I've build a wooden sailboat. It takes some time and effort though.


Currently the case is in my dorm room, not 100% done yet, need some more cable sleeving and some faster fans. These Yates aren't moving enough air.
