Title: Fab request: DIY collector instructions
Post by: TTC on March 10, 2009, 07:08:30 PM: A while back someone made an excellent thread on how to make a collector. If someone is in the process of making one, maybe they could put up some pics.

Post by: HiProfile on March 11, 2009, 04:12:29 AM: I just made a chopsaw jig the other week, so I can post one soon. I've been meaning to alter it for a ~10* cut anyways.

The problem is I'm only doing 2-1 collectors for my sinktrap manifold(s). Think I could sell a HF TIG'd 4-1 collector for material costs??
