I'm at the same stage, and have just assembled kit, with my first project being making a new head outlet from copper pipe and brass plate.
55% silver rods are lower temp than 30%, but more expensive.
Get some flux as well, (and you have option of fluxed rods so you wont need to dip the rod in each time)
I'm going to try using a camping gas cylinder type propane gun.
bricks and a bit of fake asbestos atop (or the other way round) as the items need to be red hot.
I was advised that it isn't hard, so will be interested in the replies you get here!
