When you watch a Craftsman like this guy taking the time to fabricate his own parts, you can rest assure that he is going to do the job right. This is attention to detail that you don't often see.
I recently learned how to make pipe cone details by using the rollation method,, If you're interested watch Ron Covell's series on rollation . To me its a much more practical way to do it. Alex prothman has a video on RU-vid where he uses a swing stick but it gets pretty extensive. I think rollation is easier.
I'm dying to see how you make the cone part! I've learned alot from your channel that will help me be a better roofer and this detail is something I definitly want to learn!

Hi, on this short run it may not be an issue. But on a loner panel, for example on a +50ft panel. Would you be worried of the contraction and expansion of the metal being limited or affected by the plumbing pipe being so flush to the metal boot you made?
Yes with a long run thermal movement needs to be considered. I would keep the jack loose and extend the pipe through and add a storm collar. You can buy rubber rings at your roofing supply. Although this would require replacing the ring every so often. There may be other alternatives that I am not aware of this is just a suggestion.
@@MFPToolyou can seam these on but it will take much more time and effort plus difficult on a large panel. I would still recommend sealant on the inside either way. This is a simple and time efficient alternative to the rubber boots that most use in the industry and more attractive in my opinion.
Do you ever use a bag of lead shot as a dolly? Seems like that sort of thing would have been useful on that last peen-over, to hold the cone top in place without deforming it.
How is this better than epdm boots with np1 sealant unter the metal ring. Good luck better that sleeve and panel on a pipe on a 12/12 roof three stories in the air. I move pipes with elbows when they have be moved to make layout work with all the pipes on the sode otherwose the panels are laid out accordingly so nothing has to move
