Tackit, what are you making with the tin can solder thing? And what is the purpose of the drill motor with something in the copper tube?
Just curious...
LT, It's funnel I made to flush out my MM251 guns liner with denatured alcohol, after the copper tube was soldered on the bottom of the can, I ran a drill bit down the tube to make the hole.
Ryan I have the larger bottle set up but they're still to big for keeping under my desk, I do repair jobs from the grandkids toys to small projects I think up, like making the funnel pictured, most anything that needs to be soldered I use use silver on if it can take the heat. I was just given a two piece tower /torch lamp? whose post won't screw together tightly any longer do to the threaded insert no-longer being fixed solidly inside the one tube, I have it screwed together and straight but it still needs to be SS to stay together.

I'm gonna give posting a picture from iPhone a try here, this is my setup. The little torch fittings screw right on to the regulators. I think it's called a type B fitting?
ryan, can you post a larger pic of this? It's too small to really see your setup
Skookum is a north west thing. At least I think it is. There's even a skookum valley in Oregon. Lots of Native American influence up that way. But whatever it takes to get the shmoo out
...while you're choochin' along.....
I'd have never learned all these new words anywhere else!

One word of caution is those gas hoses are not very skookum at all. They are not rated for any sort of industrial or "shop" duty. Even sitting under that bench like mine is, I had some damage to the propane hose and had to make a repair. Glad I was using propane....I could smell it immediately.
One down side of those small regulators is no gauge, not the end of the world, you should be relaxing the spring inside there anyway when you're down using it. You also can't shut the gas off independently of the regulator, another bad side. I'm gonna give posting a picture from iPhone a try here, this is my setup.
