Welding copper and copper alloys

>> "I couldn't imagine trying to tig even 1/8'' copper yet alone anything thicker."

What size was that pipe you just showed pics of?

Should be either .028(type M) or .040(type L) wall thickness.

Ill post some pics on this thread tomorrow when I can take pics at work. I made some distillation parts out of copper all tig welded. I like to use a bronze filler rod if the joint doesn't need to be aesthetically pleasing, otherwise I use cut up a sheet of copper into thin strips and use them as filler rod.
