 Here's the original layout. The client was having issues getting over the top of the first branch to reach the first slide. The other issue was a stuffy low end with the 5th valve. The end result was a 90 degree rotation of the 5th valve with a new open circuit. Also the leadpipe was re-bent and made removable lifting it off the bell, to a more open position to enter the top knuckle.  The initial layout of the 5th  Fill and re bend the leadpipe  Braces all made and modifications to the 5th knuckles made, now it ready to start soldering together  All finished up and ready to go.
