Default Make your own hardline?

Hardline is good stuff, right? Does anyone make their own out of
copper water pipe?

Seems doable, but have never heard of anyone doing it.

This is what happens when I have too much time on my hands. :-)

Yes you can roll your own hard line, Im not sure its worth it though. I had
about 100ft of Cu pipe that had been setting around for about 30 years. I
would have probably been better off selling the pipe and buying the
hardline. After I realisesd I would have to keep it pressurised ti keep out
the water I pulled it out and replaced it with LMR 900.
