I was at the local hardware store buying brass fittings, of course I had
to buy three fittings each to get a connector with the two ends that I
needed. I got to shooting the breeze with the counter person and the
conversation wandered a bit but an idea came to mind.
I wonder if it would be
if there was a simple interface where the operator selected from a
menu / dropdown box what threads need to be on each side, load a plug
into the machine and hit go... it might be pretty feasable. i think
the problem would be convincing stores to buy the machine as opposed
to ordering loads of
One interesting thing about plumbing fittings is their incredible variety.
Just identifying them can be a headache.

I worked in a hardware store for 4+ years while I was in Junior
High/High School. It was an old fashioned hardware store that moved
through the transition from boxed and trayed fitting to blister packed
and bagged fittings while I worked there in the early to mid 70's. We

My past experience with the general quality of the staffing at the big
hardware stores (that will remain nameless) - except for maybe
McLendons :-) - the interface would have to be pretty brain dead.
Then, behind the scenes the interface would hand off the pre packaged

I am trying to convince a buddy to bring his kids along with me to this

I was wondering if anyone will be set up there again this year. Ed did a
very nice job last year.
If someone is, I may be able to lend a hand.

Why is it that 'progress' is always a backward step?? When I
first learnt domestic plumbing and gasfitting it was all
lead pipe and the only 'fittings' you would use would be
short lengths of brass tube with nuts captive on the end to
join the pipe to equipment like the boiler, water cylinder,
Hello,
Happy new year, to all ..
First, thanks for this nice peace of software. I am using EMC since 2
years. Now my old notebook is totally damaged and I purchased an new PC
(AMD Phenom 945e, MSI 785'er Mainboard with onboard LPT- port) for my
CNC plotter. Now I got some trouble to install
Happy New Year to all,
I was once told that the actual money being made in the manufacturing of
those little brass fittings is not so much in the fittings themselves as it
is in brass scrap being resold as scrap. If you pay much attention to the
amount of material left in the wall thickness of the
I don't know about Ubuntu 9.10, but the directions for getting EMC to
run on a fresh install of 8.04 have always worked for me. It might be
easier to use the proven Ubuntu 8.04 instead of the 9.10.

As for the fittings being made on the spot. Having various sizes of brass
hex is fine as long as the fitting is not a 90 degree or even a 45 degree
bent fitting.
Most all those fittings are made from a casting, not bar stock.
