I don't care... :smack
Getting the two ends to mate and have such a clean solder joint is excellent work.

That is truly impressive.
Is that rod or pipe? If it's pipe I want to know how you bent it without it crushing.

This is actually tubing and to bend it I inserted smaller pieces to make it a rod.

Bob, here is a Paul Budzik video on soldering. The next time I work on a piece, I will try to emulate his technique as best as possible. I've got some Nokorode Aqua flux on order.

Thank you guys. Today I tackled the gurney/stretcher. I'm not sure I got the right combo of solder and flux. I did manage to get the the frame soldered but went with CA for the rest of the build.
Here is the frame with styrene springs.
A test fit in the cargo area.
All that is left is the mattress which will be made from Sculpey oven baked clay and the resin casters
Looks great to me!
