How hard is it to solder the set up that Mathew Amt uses for his Corinthian? I have some, and by some I mean a little welding experience, but never with brass. Would a soldering iron work? I am thinking about getting a Deepeeka helmet for now to play around with and make a crest box so that if I am successful, I can simply make my own set-up for the Manning helmet when I get it a couple years down the road instead of paying $500 plus for them to make the crest and attachments for me. I have already made a Roman crest and am absolutely confident I can make the box and crest.....just not sure about the attachments. For the Americans here (only asking them because they have access to the same stores as I do), where could you get brass solder? Do places like Hobby Lobby have them or do you need a specialty store?
