Just ran across this on YouTube. Thought it was interesting, so figured I'd post here. The part about straightening does not start until 2:37 of the video...

The best way I have seen is place the tube on a sheet of plywood, place another sheet on top of the tube, then stand on the top sheet and roll it back and forth.

That's really amazing. I recently replaced the brake line that runs front to rear in my truck with one continuous piece and I wish I had seen this first. I wonder if it would work as well for a piece 14' long.

as soon as I saw him clamp the end in the vice, I knew what he was going to do. I've done the same with safety wire when making special gizmos for various reasons. I've never had a need to straighten copper tube but, admittedly, might not have thought to. Good find.
