building my first/second tuber

[TwistedXT]

Here are some pics of my first tuber project....








i used brass tubing , 1/4", from home depot, if i use stainless steel, does it solder the same? Making it from brass was a cake walk... brass is a little softer but, when bent and braced right... it seems pretty strong.

what kind of torch, solder and flux did you use?

Nice tuber, I can't say I've ever seen a tubed Titan before. Brass should hold up fine with enough bracing and triangulation.

I used a butane torch.. something like this one

i got it at the good ol Home Depot.. for solder, i used an acid core... it seemed to flow better. To notch the fittings i use a 1/4" in round file and 1/4 inch brass tubing from... Home Depot... its back by the sinks and stuff... 20' for 10 bucks of like 50' for around $20... The project is currently on hold... im buying a house and as you can see in the pictures above, i made one heck of a mess. The wife got mad... so, its on pause for a little bit right now.

ive tryed to build a tuber out of brass before but i couldent bend the tubing without puting a kink in in it, whats your method? How thick are the walls of your tubing?
