Thanks Doc.
After successfully building 6 BH kits (with a few hiccups along the way) I realized from the video that I've been a "chicken$%&@" all along. No wonder the process was a little nerve-wracking at times, especially around the tube sockets.
Watching you heat the different joints with no hesitation and plenty of time made me recognize how my timidness had made things more difficult than they needed to be.
Armed with a little chutzpah, and some name-brand eutectic solder, my recent Quickie re-build (pictures when installed) was a revelation.
Thanks again and take care,
Karl
