Westbury 'Seagull'

Not trying to discourage anybody from anything. He posted a question asking for peoples opinion of how they would do something and why. If this forum works like it's supposed to he will get 10 different answers and get to decide which route to take. Some think it's a waste of time, some think it's safer, and some do it because they just like the challenge of the job. Nothing wrong with any of the posts. People are just expressing there opinion. In the end Charles will pick one and give it a go. Thats the whole point of asking on a forum. Diverse answers.

Absolutely right Steve, my answer is that soft solder would be fine in almost all events.
I just added a disclaimer, if you'd like to call it that.

Thanks for the input, guys. I will be getting the parts made while I come to a decision.

In the end I went for a silver soldered tank, but soft soldered its feet. Pictures and write-up should appear eventually on my website (see post #1)

Folks, it is running (after a while). The video can go full screen I think.
