Eric- The sagged look is what I've sought out for years, with varying success. When I was building at Cyclery North I got pretty ok at it. My method is to fill up the stay end fairly well, let it solidify then use the flame to pull the brass down into the stay. Now a days I'm not so good at it. Like so much of this stuff practice and frequent torch work really helps. Andy.
