I can't comment on how your set up will work, but sweating joints is dead  
easy.  Just buy one of the  brushes specially made to clean  the  end of the 
pipe and the inside of the fittings.  Smear it with flux,  assemble the parts, 
heat it with a propane torch, and touch solder to the  joint.  The solder will  
magically flow  into  the  joint  and seal  the parts together.

63 TR4

As he stared at her ample  bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg
carburetors in his vintage  Triumph, highly functional yet pleasingly formed, 
perched prominently on top of  the intake manifold, aching for experienced 
hands, the small knurled caps of the  oil dampeners begging to be inspected and 
adjusted as described in chapter seven  of the shop manual.
