Cutting spacers (cuda plans)

Cutting spacers might be simple for some people or not. I don't have a lot of cool toys as some may have. (lathe, milling machine, plasma cutter.) So when I was trying to make spacers and getting them precise. I found a very easy way to do them. I took some copper plumbing pipe that was laying around and took a pipe cutter. I was able to cut my spacers exaclty as needed.

I been there too, somedays I still am. If the spacers are less than 3/4" od, sometimes I stick them in the drill press and smooth or square the end with a file.
