I would have shown this on steam for the first run, but the boiler I just purchased is rotted out, so the tarot stirling was used for the first test!

I got inspired today and finally attempted soldering a tube into a 90° sharp bend I had been worried that it would restrict the water too much, but that was unfounded as it doesn't pump that much to worry about it haha! Fortunately I think I will be able to get this done before Christmas! Cheers Nick!
