didn't get near enough time in tonight, only had about 10 minutes of play time tonight, no propane for the shop heater and wasn't worth firing up the wood stove, I have a few boxes of these Stainless Swagelok fittings that have been appearing outside of my shop for the last few months so I figured id burn a few up, definitely need more practice but getting the hang of it I believe

Looking good if you ask me. If you get any more mysterious Swagelok fittings and you don't want them, mail them to me :D :D

im betting I have over a hundred straight 1/2'' and 4 or 50, 90* 1/2''. hoping some tubing appears I might use these to plumb air lines in my shop if they make NPT adapters for it

Yep, Swegelok makes NPT to tube, M and F, in all standard sizes.
