hey guys anyone know where to get 4" and 2" copper pipe in Perth looking at doing my take on Brendan's 6 week bubbler build the little T500 leaves a lot to be desired. I live out in the sticks spot can be hard to get to the city so I'm looking to collect all the metal I need bit by bit and then put it all together.

It might not look as good as a store bought reducer but it sure as hell is cheaper. And at the end of the day its probably gunna get covered with insulation anyway.

Appreciate your effort mate but for parkwood prices i wouldn't bother making a reducer like that if you factor in your time to makeit its just not worth the effort. I dont think ive seen an insulated bubbler mate so it would be visible

Not a bad crack at making your own mate, and for a still that's getting insulated it's not a bad option. For a copper porn bubbler though, I think it's worth splashing out and buying the reducers and bends... But that's just me.

If you build a 4" blockhead, you don't need any reducers, just a single 2" 90° elbow ;-) 8-}
