and maybe you can just make your own dies, adapt to a small hydraulic press.
thanks, however i already own that tool and it does a different style "bead" at the end of the tubing only - won't work further in. this looks like the tubing is pulled together to form a "ridge" for lack of a better term
Gee...why didn't you post this little pearl of info in your OP ?....
Or slip on a ring of steel wire and solder it into place.
You maybe could make or modify something like the Earls beading tool to make it work at that depth.
edit- tried to add a link, but it didn't work- just google Earls beading tool.
not the way this was made but that just might work, thanks
Circular heating via induction coil followed by compression from the ends.
If you just have a few to make you can do it in an old lathe. Spin it while heating with a torch and then compress with the tailstock.
lathe trick worked. not as prominent as the sample but doable. a little time consuming.
