Thanks Tom for the jig, and thanks to all that perservered through my learning! What makes it special is I used solder I found in my Dad's torch kit!

I love happy endings!

Keep in mind that if you do get some blades that break, it's likely due to the solder. The 45% you used is quite a bit weaker than 50-55%. Just something to keep in mind.

Nice job on the fixture.
