Discuss Performed my first few practicals recently, any tips on the following? in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net

Only done two practical lessons so far, we have one every day I'm in and they started this week for me. First day, learned how to measure copper pipe for cutting and piecing together, and using compression fittings and a pipe bender, created a letter P out of 15mm copper pipe. Next I Worked with a mate and in pairs we had to plumb fittings into the wall to hold pipe. Four of them level horizontally at 200mm apart, then take them out and do it again vertically at 300mm apart, me and my mate smashed it and got them both spot on, we were dead proud haha.

My question to this is can anyone offer me any tips? Especially on pipe bending, I have very limited experience with it so would like to be able to go back and think "hm, might try it now". Any help appreciated, also this was just partly to update on my college life, if anyone minds me posting? I was absent from the forum for a bit but am back again.

Cheers,
Joshua
