Default Need a Brazer any suggestions???

I was going to buy a tube chassis, but then I though "what the hell, I will build my own." I am looking into getting a good brazer. Does anyone have any suggestions on which one to get.

Also I know to get brake line, but do I really need a tube bender to bend the stuff?

Any Help and/or Suggestions are Appreciated!

MAPP Gas from Lowes. (the yellow bottle)

Safty Silv56 with same white flux from Welding supplier

Cheap Brushes to apply flux


I tried a tube bender but didn't like it... Just used my hands.

I bought a MAPP/Oxygen torch at Home Depot for about $50 and it worked fine. Ran out of oxygen before I was done, though. Since it was after store hours and I didn't want to quit, I fired up my old propane torch to see if it would work. It worked just fine. Assuming you're using Silv56, it takes a bit longer, but not much longer, and you're less likely to overheat the joint. I'm kinda thinking that was $50 I could have spent on something else, because the propane works well enough that I haven't felt a need to get the Ox refilled.

The small $19.99 mini torches from both Lowes and Home Depot also work well and are much easie to handle
