| Hi Richard
Great message! i hope this will be read by everyone thinking of making a boiler. Have to say the soldering looks ok on the boiler maybe a bit too much but the fillets look deep and even and thats what counts.
Can I ask was it silver solder or braze? Looks like it was rodded on rather than letting it flow out from cut bits of solder.
It looks like the boiler would have been OK if the tubes had been a little heavier wall, maybe two three gauges up on the one you have.
I have a feeling you did a service posting this one, it may serve as a lesson to new boiler makers.
