Going, going, going... slow

Things have been going slowly recently.
I was not well for a while... I was out of action for a day and it took some more days to recover properly.

Prior to not feeling well...
I had some problems trying to bend some brass tubes I purchased from a Hobby shop.
I tried one of those spiral tube benders.
The tube is about 20mm diameter and I need a close to 90 degree bend.

Some suggestions I got were to fill the tube with sand or fill with water and then place in the freezer. Then bend.... Neither worked for me.

I did find a solution by purchasing a pre-bent copper tube that is used by plumbers. It typically has a sealed end and I cut off the end.

Brass is so much lighter but quite expensive at approx $8 for 3ft tube
Anyway I am hopefully back on track.
