It may have given you fits but the results are outstanding!

The issue was the two gas torches I have. One silver soldered a couple of joints perfectly. When I tried the next joints the torch produced a huge flaring flame which melted the ends off the axle! I stripped and cleaned it, and now the flame is too small
The other torch I have is too big and uncontrollable.
Looks like I need to buy a decent gas torch
