Tried some thinner solder that matched the description Jordan gave me. I think it looks better than the previous attempt. I'd very much appreciate any feedback the wizards have to offer!

Get a wire brush in there to clean it up but as long as those dark spots are just surface junk, left over flux and what not, that's a really good job there!

Well it's been one of those weeks,
Monday I managed to get all the old solder sanded off the parts I'll be using and got some cutting done. Unfortunately my always heavy handed self managed to cave in the end of the 7/8" outer barrel piece when I was cutting it, fortunately I know myself well enough that I ordered some spares.
Otherwise work has run late most days, I'll be on the water again tomorrow but Friday I'm going to be on land and plan to head to work early so I can get off early and at the very minimum get the slots cut out and everything mocked up. I'll likely post pictures just to ensure I've got everything laid out properly.
This one's going to come down to the wire folks! Fortunately I already planted the seed in my wife's brain that I'll be heading to the shop sometime this weekend.

I just tried it, you've got some vice grip hands my dude. Must be from all that time hauling cages out of the ocean. -
I'll post a photo of it tomorrow if I remember, because honestly I'm worried I'm gonna do it again and could use some insight. I dunno if I overtightened the clamping bit on the pipe cutter or what, but its completely crushed inwards on the edge I cut.
