hi everyone
just thought i would show how far i have got, i soldered the front on, carried it down stairs to cool, then put in the pickling acid, i soddin droped  it in the garden on the concrete, not to much damage, only it landed on the joint at the front so i took it back up stairs and resolderd the joint . if i ever make another i will make sure i let it cool where it is stood.  . oh yes i was ill after i had solder it, felt like i was getting the flu, could not stop shaking and my breathing was screwed up and was frozen cold. lasted for about 2 hours,  will get a mask when i do the back end and in the shed. wifes doing her nut i burnt the blinds . i would have done them both at once but i didnet order enough solder . need to buy a proper gauge.
 
thanks dave.

You need to do it in the open or at the very least a well ventilated shed is OK for small bits. You will be burning up a lot of oxygen and making lots of CO2, if not it could be you that dropps on the floor.

Looks a good job so far.

Beware  Some fluxes contain fluorides. The symptoms you showed sounded to me like 'Foundryman's Fever' which is a form of fluoride poisioning.
