[modeleng] Re: TIG welded copper boilers

Well, Alan, I don't know a lot about the TIG process, but I have seen it done 
on Steel and Aluminum and it works very well for those two materials, so it 
ought to be O.K. for Copper, however, I am an old fashioned sort of fellow and 
when I get around to finishing the boiler I started 20 years ago, it will be of 
riveted and Silver Soldered construction.
