| Greg,
Just a point about silver soldering. I have done all my pipe fittings with silver solder and I always use a hand held blow torch for it. I think the key to success is a good hearth of a couple of bricks to maintain the heat in the area and whereas I agree an oxy-acetylene set would give you the required temperature in a much more controlled, smaller area, you can get by with cheaper, more readily available stuff.
