Andre,

for the benefit of some of us, perhaps you could give some details, such as what type of brass you used and where you got it. Also, how you made the conical shape for the top.

Are the leg stands made of brass train rails?

Also, what (if anything) did you use for a heat sink (assuming it's all soldered.

Another beauty, Andre. By the way, did you post pics of your tender after it was finished, or did I miss it?

Regards,
Clint
