3rd day - Brazing, Braze-welding, and Welding ... and ...
P1010797.jpg
P1010798.jpg P1010801.jpg Double lap weld on .050 3003. Planished in the Punishing Hammer, so .110" thick weld goes flat back to .050. Nice and smooth and fast. No pinchy fingers. P1010791.jpg P1010810.jpg P1010778.jpg P1010783.jpg annealing multiple metals - Cu, Ag, Au P1010775.jpg hot bend - file. (Note: mistakes are great teachers: insufficient heat and excessive bend effort = crack.) "Learn from others' mistakes - life is too short for you to make them all yourself." I make these mistakes during class so students don't have to simply take my words without the demo. (I do the same thing on my instructional DVD's. I do not cut the camera off, fix the problem, and then resume "demonstrating." Nope, I believe to show the mistakes, and then show the results.) P1010788.jpg P1010786.jpg

Clearly, I am behind in my collection of both torches and filler material!

Yeah skintcarter - all of the torches work, so anytime someone wants to try a such-and-such model, chances are it is somewhere in the torch drawer.
P1010782.jpg Filler metals - yes Will, I never know what is going to come in the shop next ... P1010780.jpg so I keep a good stock on hand. Nice to have a wing man keeping an eye out ... P1010803.jpg Lots of practice on aluminum flange welds ... P1010812.jpg washed planish-ment on the double lap weld... P1010817.jpg Note: edge of weld pool still shows, bottom. Class was great. Steel welds and copper welds not shown. -end-
