    Thanks Pete. I tenderize the tank's material, heat up and cooling in water, and then i'll silver soldered, or cut a strip from thin brass, and solder inside of the tank.

    Hi Ray
    yes its reasonable tho quality is not great its a 7x14 mini lathe from china they sell loads on ebay they are something like 420quid now tho.
    I have done a lot of bits and pieces on it tho mostly brass it don't like stainless its a bit much for it I think

    pete
