Anything Is Possible


During construction, we saved an estimated 800 quetzales(100$) by not having to buy expensive elbow connectors. Instead, we used man's oldest magic and bent the pipe using fire.

In this video, you can see how we were able to bend the pipe up to about a ninety-degree angle with only using some fire and water. Two men would hold the pipe on either end while Don Milo would move the tubing over the fire. After about a minute of softening the tube, the two men, on other side of the six meter tube, would pull the tubing in opposite directions. This would cause the tube to become weak and malleable. Enough so, that Don Milo could slowly bend the tube ever so slightly. This process would be repeated until the tube was at a desired shape and angle. The Tube in the video has about 17 small bends in it. Before beginning the process, I was the most skeptical of all. Each one of these tubes cost 230q and even the smallest mistake in the melting/bending process would be, to say the least, a costly human error. Although, as this video shows and as Kevin Garnett screamed in his notorious post game media conference after winning his fist NBA championship with the Boston Celtics in 2008, anything is possible!
