Default RE: Built an impeller(Brass) :)

ok the pics came out horrid or at least the important ones, in your mind combine the first pic and second to get the idea of the rig, the other pics are various stages of development after the ill fated welds.




okay that horrid, the first pic show the rig being held down by a clamp in pool of water, since the one thing I had at 120 degree angles was made of plastic, so a body of water was needed( it melted the first time). The close up shot, shows each blade being clamped to a somewhat L shaped piece of brass, to hold the pitch of the blades. I used those stationary clamps, hopefully now you understand what your looking at



I added a professional pic by me, since I failed miserably on these pics, gotta make it up somehow.

After not too much deliberation, just dont look at the pics, its just showing that soldered all three blades at once
Does anyone know, is there a better way, maybe solder all the blades and then insert the shaft? I either meed to stop trying or get some great advice, I'd really prefer the latter
