Blade, you are most assuredly correct as with this type of block, it should not be a problem. With the chillerblock I made, a great amount of torque was required on the screws, and this is what caused the joint to open.
While I agree that standard silver bearing soldering is very strong, for my application, brazing really made a difference.
Once again I admire and compliment your engineering and work. Look forward to your next project.
