  1. I can promise you I won't be trying that at home. I'd be more likely to attempt soldering. I might even have consulted a jeweler about the right solder to use.

  3. Congratulations. Jobs like this are nervewracking, but satisfying if and when they finally succeed.

    I hope the parts will be interchangeable between your 1.5 and your 3.
