pipe beading
i remember there were some videos re this a while back, but is there an easy way to do it without new tools?
i guess it could be done easy enough by running a small bead of weld around a tube?

Depending on the tube diameter and material you can solder on a plumbing olive.
The tool from B&Q mango found is probably not up to steel, but is good and cheap for aluminium if you can source one.

I did mine the other day with a ball bearing welded into a pliers and a groove filed into the other side, did copper 15mm and 28mm and also ali 32mm
but that was 1.2mm wall vacuum cleaner pipe so thinish, quite a good result though! See:

cheers dude! haven't actually bought any tube yet, so might be a little way off actually doing it, so will give you a shoult when i've got
the bits in
what wall thickness aluminium tube would you suggest for your tool?
if ebay doesn't come up with any 35mm joiners, i'll buy some 35mm ali tube and do it myself
