  1. Chris -  The tools I have used so far for working with brass:

     

    round-nose pliers - for shaping all those bands

    side cutting diagonals - for cutting brass strips to length

    small files - to even the ends and shape pieces

    punch - for centering drill bits

    pinvise - to hold the drill bits while hand drilling holes in the brass strips

    butane torch - for annealing brass (to make it easier to work) and for soldering

    silver solder brazing paste - for soldering

    cross locking pliers, third hand tool - to hold the brass while applying heat while soldering

     

    All items were purchased though Model Expo (except the soldering paste - I think that was Amazon).

     

    Hope this helps.
