I agree about a separate tuition meet for the Bay Area locals, perhaps on a weekend soon and not wait till the steamup. (Count me in). Although a seminar at the steamup also would have a lot of interest there too.
Incidentally there is a very good article in the August 2002 issue of Live Steam Magazine which describes the silver soldering process, and is very descriptive with photo,s and illustrations on building a boiler for a Shay. Regardless of the model, and size, the process's and procedures are very well described, one of the best I have seen, and worth the cost of the magazine.
