well.... by far the hardest part of this whole project has turned out to be the plumbing, or more specifically the sweating of the copper tubing....... this should have been the least of the problems, but is turning into the biggest nightmare ever..... not only is 1/4" elbows & t's a ***** to find....I've been to at least a dozen home depo's & hardware stores.... finally found a lowes that had them... bought all they had & still ran short...... been to a few different lowes.... finally got all the fittings.... that's not the problem....... problem is I can't sweat pipe to save my life!!!!!!! I've been screwing with this part of the project for more than a month now......

I have been trying to do this & frustrating my self to the point that tonight I came really close to flinging this thing across the shop!!!! & belive me , I have a lot of patience!!!! I give up!!!!!!!!

tommorow I'm going to a plumber to sort this mess out..... I don't care what he charges me, I can't take this anymore!!!!

what a nightmare..... once this plumbing is soldered I can mount the screen final & finish it.... hopefully soon.......... this is what this mess looks like so far:
