Ron that is very nice. I am taking it that the aluminum tank was not original. Is that correct? I have another question about the annealing process of brass. Do you quench it like we do copper or let it air cool like aluminum? Thanks for posting your work.

The owner found some early photos and determined it should be brass.

To anneal heat the brass and then quench.
