Before flaring the ends of the tube,

Cutting the tank port.
It's good to have a port into the dirty tank for cleaning and maintenance. The cut isn't easy to make (especially since I was using a bulky skilsaw), so getting this right was tricky. I made this simple jig to run a pen around, and then I actually used it to hold the skilsaw (notice the cut at the top of the wood). It somewhat worked.

Enough to hold the tank port
