That's cool, I like to find a torch like that someday as I find the Oxy/Acetelyne flame is too hot for silver brazing. When I worked with my dad back in the late 60's and early 70's we serviced the local plumbing company fleet of Chevy panel trucks, they may of had 20 or so. Every truck had the acetylene torch and a burner for the lead pot. Every truck smelled the same. How technology has touched so many things.

The torch rig will set you back a couple hundred, the acetylene bottle deposit alone is probably the same. I have several tip sizes for the torch setup.

More landing gear work. Decided to drill the solid rods of the center cabane strut, I figured easier than butt joining the perpendicular parts. Then turned 3/16 rod until it slipped in. Easy solder joint.
