I don't blame you for posting this. Neat job. Only thing I would have done
different is: That little hot spot at 3 o'clock--I would have turned it so
it doesn't show, and failed to mention it. :-)

My wife sez every quilt has a "humility patch". Most of my shop
projects also have a humility spot or two. At least the holes match
up with the flange on the blower!

Very nice! How do you plan to join the cone to the 3" ducting?

Heh. Every time I point out the humility patch on one of ms. Mulligan's
quilts I get clobbered in the head.

Don, was this the "AeroBraze" that is sold via the Tinman's
web page, and if so, did you use the coated rod, or the rod and
separate flux?

Nice work BTW.

Yup, AeroBraze, bare rod with separate flux.

I'm wondering that myself. The flue pipe is corrugated on one end, so
I may just jam it into the cone and tape the joint. I may try
brazing a cylindrical collar on the end of the cone, but if jamming
and taping work, that's probably what I'll do.

Don't forget the didymium filter, unless you already have
glass-blower's glasses. (Why do I suspect that you might? G)

Jamming the corrugated end of fluepipe into the cone worked great,
won't even need tape. It's wedged in there tight.

I just learned that the flux in the fluxcore rod is noncorrosive,
while the separate flux is corrosive. FWIW.

I discovered that the hard way. I had a can of the flux in the metal box
with all my torch tips etc. ... turned em all green and nasty.

I had success soldering aluminum using the oil method:
put a puddle of motor oil over the area to solder,
scratch vigorously under oil, apply solder. I only needed
to wet few square milimeters, but it worked beautifully
