Hmmm that may be incorporated as you don't see them as much...

So as I was soldering the breathers to the rack one of the joints came lose from to much heat and us all crooked and messed up looking now...... So I have to either undo it and rebuild that one and hope it works the second time around or re-think the design a little.change it up with materials, maybe I'll use styrene for it all... I'll post pics of how it turned out tonight when I get home from work..

I learned that when you get to the point of having a lot of soldered joints near where your soldering you need to use heat sinks, in my case on the headache rack I used a bunch of vise grips because it was all I had at the time. If you use them put a very light pressure on the part, as the brass gets hot it gets soft, to much pressure and you'll leave a small indentations.
