Good Old Soldering Burner

I recently got the soldering burner, which my father had in his barn for many years.
After taking the burner apart, cleaning it, re-soldering and renewing some pieces, you will see the result on the pictures.

The Burner as it was in my fathers barn.
Beneath the ducktape is a leakage in the connecting tube and a crack in the handle.

The gas valve, with a extra soldered nut with internal thread to connect the new connecting tube with the burner head.

I added a brass collar around the handle to prefer more damage to the handle.
