This is an easy way of making o-ring grooves with few tools.
The tools you will need are: hack saw and pliers.
What you need: PVC and o-ring about the same size as the PVC.

NOTE:I am not using glue in the following steps,YOU MUST USE GLUE.

Nope,the glue fixes that problem.If it dosn't then just cut it so there is no gap.

Good Idea! Sounds easy to do. For smaller pipe you can take a pipe-cutter and cut a gash into it but not all the way through.

Doesn't anyone have a stove? lol

I just mark the PVC where I want the grooves at and then boil it and cut down the place where the marker is...

Nice guide though, It helds aldo because if your making a piston you can set the washers on the smaller inside peice of PVC...
