Damn Cody, you've been holding out on us. That looks freakin' sweet. Great job on everything, looking forward to seeing it finished. Don't hold out on us, give us some more pics. Is that a Smith mini torch, where did you get it? |

I'm intrigued! How much quicker is this torch setup than just using a regular old mapp gas torch for brazing? Need details!  |
