Default Wow!

I don't know how I missed either of your builds until now, but I am sure glad I found them. Your work is absolutely incredible!

To me, but also:

On a brazing of stainless steel, there is a layer very thin on the tube, so you just have to clean afterwards.

well, more solder is clean initially, more it's easy to clean after, there is no other "secret"

I used tube of stainless steel in 8x4 mm.

The old price for 1 solder (Castolin 1802) east of 7.20 Swiss franc wand (hence expensive) ... with a diameter of 2 mm and a length of 50 cm.

+ "Flux" - Castolin 1802 N Atm. (powder, which mixes with water)

If the contact address of the house "Castolin" is: swiss@castolin.ch ... I am sure they understand English and may even give you a list of dealers in your area. If you have any problem, contact me by "PM"

Very cool. Now I'm really looking forward to seeing some video with sound. V8s always sound better than someones crappy choice of music!


















(Generally speaking of course, since I have no idea what kind of music you like)
