Here is a little project i have been working on lately. I was inspired by a couple of these on this site. I have never welded before or attempted anything like this to date so it was a challenge to do but yet rewarding and fun. I still need to fit the electronics and give it a test run. I built this for my son and plan to make one for myself sometime this fall.

Neat job, especially considering it's your first one! ;) I was wondering... With what do you weld something like this? 'Cold weld' like JB-Weld (Epoxy), a similar method to soldering, welding with the 'big guns' or are there specialist tools to weld on a small scale?

I used a propane torch and some safety silv solder. I guess you would call it brazing.
