Many people do it differently, theres many techniques. Experiment.
Buy on the last solder job I did, I placed a aluminium stud with the same width of the air port in it the just made sure there was abit more solder in that area to create a strong seal. Then after everything had cooled I just threw an empty 12ie down the valve tube gave it a very gentle tap and out came the stud.

Im sure there are many other ways to do it, and I plan to experiment with them all.

And you simply use lead based solder right?

You can but for best results look for solder that has 4% silver. As for the type dont use acid core solder or flux itll make a mess of your brass, at least thats what I have been told by the experts.
Parts Express:WBT 0800 Silver Solder 4% Silver Content 1/8 lb.
Thats what I use.

Ive also been experimenting with a kit similar to this one.
with pretty good results.

Thanks for the help. I would like to start a custom build, I will create a new thread in the custom marker section later. I think I am going to need a little help.

*On a second thought I have decided to hold this off until I have some spare time.
