Hi-Love your stuff and am eager to try myself. Could you provide links for the solder and heat gun you use, as well as gauge for the copper piping used for stems? Thanks!

[@howellscreations892]

Thanks for watching! The Torch was purchased at Lowe's, but here's a link on Amazon. a.co/d/0aZYKkBj . I've had the solder for years, but this is something similar a.co/d/0d5cGnb5 . The copper tubing is also from Lowe's www.lowes.com/pd/Mueller-Streamline-1-4-in-x-1-ft-Copper-L-Pipe/3429104 . Good luck!

Excellent !!!! What gauge is the foil ?

[@howellscreations892]

I use 36 gauge sheet metal. Thanks for watching!

[@harpladyshomestead5278]

What gauge is that metal sheeting? It looks very thin, does it hold up well, or does it bend out of shape easily?

[@howellscreations892]

In using 36 gauge sheet metal. The brass is a bit stiffer, but still can be shaped. How much it springs back to position depends on whether you're using annealed or non annealed material. It generally holds the shape you put it in though. Hope that helps, and thanks for watching!

Sorry for the delayed response. I used this pattern to get started, and changed it a little bit. Good luck! clipart-library.com/clipart/1136757.htm
