Here are the pieces tacked together and the ends being shaped for the 2 ½ tube on the end.
I made the jaws out of some ¼ inch steel and welded them to some vise grips.

Here is the 2 ½ end tube tacked in place.

While that is still tacked I start on the slip rings. It is important to sand the ridge from the seam weld flat or it can cause a leak at the slip connection.

Here are the rings installed in the alignment tool and tacked together. They will stay in this tool throughout the rest of the process.The rings are 1 7/8 dia and 1 1/2inches long.
