Thanks guys

Slight revision, and a tubing diagram.

[DonT-FeaR]

:O wow

The tubes look good as they are. Can't wait to see them once complete. Loving your work so far.

[gramatton]

looks amazing,

really diggin that keyboard. and i know its probably been said already but you have an incredible amount of patience, i woulda just popped all the keys out instead of taping them lol.

Thanks a lot guys, and @gramatton - I did pop the keys off, but I had to tape over the electronics and the clips that hold the keys.

The sun is out so I got some better pictures.

Here is the 'fillport' for the first loop - this will be a bit more complex later on.

Here is the 'fillport' for the second loop, This T will be swapped for a Q and too will have a bit more added to it.

Here's where the Pico Rad will be mounted:

Here is a super simplified version of what will -sort of- be happening later.
*click for big*

I must stress that this is just the beginning, I have quite a few surprises left for this loop.
Also I will note that because of the second loop I'll no-longer be running the blocks in parallel - like my first diagram showed. The added tubes of the second loop kind of ruined that plan.

SO much more coming.
Tune in soon.

@mittelmeier - Thanks man, more coming very soon.
@[b]DonT-FeaR[b] - All the copper bits, and the CF fins, are being waterjet cut, laser raster etched, and bent by the pros. I contracted a metal fabrication firm to make sure the parts were to 1/1000" spec.
@rendermandan - Thanks man - same to you.
@gramatton - Thanks a lot... my patience is wearing on my sanity.

You can see the difference in colour between the two tubing sizes - the colour difference is much more apparent to the human eye... luckily I'll be sleeving the tubes.
