Sweating copper pipe is a piece of cake. There's fittings out now that already have solder inside them that are a snap to use that I've used a couple times, they've held up for me. If you use the traditional dry fit, cut the pipe to length, prep the ends (buff them up with emory cloth and coat with flux), slip the fittings on, heat until it blows slightly green flame, place the tip of the soldering wire against the joint, it will melt and suck the solder in. When you see the first drip, you're done. Wipe the excess solder off carefully.

Try it a couple times on some scrap, you'd be surprised how easy it is to do. Just dont forget a piece is hot and grab it my mistake. BTDT.
