I echo previous comments, a decent flaring tool will pay dividends. I borrowed one once and did a great job.

I then tried another job with a shoddy tool and was a nightmare!My solution was the garage down the road flared the ends for me. Turned out it wasnt worth the effort for what they charged, even with a good tool that would cost £100plus the time it would have took me was not worth the £15 they charged me!

In my experience, if this is the only brake pipes you will do, then get the local garage to flare them! Just cut them to length and slip the unions on first.
