Steve, can you give me soldering lessons please?
That is an excellent job, I have to admire your preserverence.

Nice one Steve, always love to see parts reclaimed rather than dumped!
I'd have been daunted by the fact it's a pressure vessel (OK not much, but enough!)...looks like your soldering is up to it!
