My biggest problem tends to be that too often people seem to stay in their own lane and in a way have no imagination.
I chased all over Columbia, SC hunting the fittings that the PTFE tubing pushes into that you can lock with tiny clips. I was striking out everywhere, primarily because sometimes stuff like that is hard to describe.
Lightbulb went off in my head, remembered those things are used in pneumatics and low pressure hydraulics. A BIG company in that space is Parker Hannifin and they have a fab shop and parts warehouse just up from me. Guy said they sold them in boxes of 50 so he just gave me 5 - 6 however many I needed.
When I was taking metal shop in high school, every inch of a residential HVAC ductwork system was hand bent on sheet metal brakes. Now it’s all a long giant insulated version of dryer duct held in place by fiber strapping.
