And here we are with the press getting set to apply the second flare without the die.

Success... This is the tricky part. Remember how I strongly recommended that you file down the end of the tube smooth and round around the edge? Here is the part where that helps out. If you forgot to round the O.D. down a little then you run a higher risk of cracking the edge at this stage.
