So what am I doing wrong? technique? Wrong solder?

I'm pretty sure they needed to be welded.
Never having done that, I feel qualified to advise that this
guy *has* done that:

Scroll about 75% down the page.

Aha! Thanks Winston, that's a nice site. He's using 1/2" on a .035
blade so 3/8" on my .025 ought to be in the ballpark. Now to figure

grinder or beltsander.
