Made my first parrot today! Never soldered anything in my life before this. Gotta say, it was pretty easy. I generally followed the guide, below. Gonna clean it with a warm soapy bath, and then a warm water / vinegar bath. Hope the collection funnel isn't too tall!

One thing I should mention (and I learned this the hard way) is that soft copper tubing is measured differently than copper pipe! Turns out soft copper is measured by OD while tubing is measured by ID. I ended up buying 3/8" (IIRC) soft copper to fit into my 1/2" -> 1/4" reducer.
