Definitely. Mark said a few times that some people are just 'scared of the torch' and that they never get relaxed/comfortable with it.
Glad to say that didn't happen to me and though it took me a few days to be OK with lighting and mixing the damn thing, I must admit I felt quite at ease using it.. I think that having experts so close to tell me to back off half a second BEFORE I fucked something up helped that enormously. Doing on my own would be a different kettle of fish..

Nice work, looking forward to seeing how the full build looks.
I find fillet brazing (and brazing in general) works best if you're relaxed and take things easy. When you try to 'force' it by using too aggressive a heat or try to speed it up then it can go wrong.
I've used the PDW mudguards on a build and had to bend the stay a touch to route it under the caliper. They are nice and stable once everything is installed, though.
