I'm much more comfortable with the cutting, filing, things I can take my time over but there's not really much choice than to leap right in with the torch and brazing. I am moderately to highly terrified of it but I'm hoping it gets easier with practise.
After doing that first joint my initial thoughts were: if you are considering a custom frame but after seeing this thread, think "hey I can just do it myself at home with a little practise", don't. Pay a framebuilder.
YMMV
Its a #3 as well dude
