    Lookin like a Young Ron Jeremy and the Brazin logo really puts the icing on the cake! The first 30 seconds of the video I'm dying.but on a serious note keep them coming I've learned some things I didn't know how to do and I appreciate your time in showing everybody the how to side.

    Hey Josh, one thing to consider also while brazing is joint orientation. Ie, on your folded bumper, if you were to braze from the rear with the face of the bumper downwards, the brazing material would pool on the outer face instead of the inner face. This is also true on tubed joints. If you try to braze with the joint vertical to the table, the joint material is typically better distributed around the contact points. Cheers!

    I was a silver brazier in a shipyard a couple of things, 1st after your solder has flowed pull the heat back to cool a little reapply the the heat a little and add a bead around the joint, 2nd after cooling soak the item in hot water and brush with a wire brush to remove the flux.

    I’ve alway braised using a brass either flux coated or you dipped the rod in the flux. What you were doing in the video I always considered silver soldering. I think on the smaller RC stuff silver soldering would be easier as I don’t think it uses as much heat. Anyway a very informative video & easy to understand.

    * working without the magnet and touching/moving the parts
    additional OOOPS:
    * working with short trousers and being happy that my long trousers would be destroyed!
    * there's a factor between heating up and cooling down. can't remember it but your fingers will tell you!
    * save time with bad preperation and then need twice the time for cleanup!

  • @cherokee1995
    @cherokee1995 Рік тому +1

    A few more tips from another old guy that carries too much stuff in his pockets. Get the silver galvanized brake line, its a little stronger. I suggest removing all of the coating or galvanizing at once, cut the flares off and chuck it in a drill, use emery cloth on it at a low speed. Wear a damn mask and do it outside, its not good for you as dust, even worse as smoke. I've done 6' at one time with that method. Lowering the light if you can allows you to see the glow of the metal better, and with practice you'll know when it's the right temp and will flow better.

    • @HarleyDesignsInc
      @HarleyDesignsInc  Рік тому

      I would much prefer to suggest people use regular DOM tubing instead of brake line typically, but I have a hard time thinking about suggesting anything galvanized because It can be nasty stuff. Brake line is a fine starting point but it’s still pretty weak, after all the effort we put in these, spending the extra on DOM as skills progress is worth it I think.

    • @cherokee1995
      @cherokee1995 Рік тому +1

      @@HarleyDesignsInc Me too, but they're not going to spend the money on DOM getting started. The black coating really isn't much better for you if you burn it. That's why I suggest removing it all from the stick at one time either way.

    Really Cool. Scale bumpers. You had me going for a moment.
    Question: Mig welding car body metal I learned from Eastwood about their copper plated magnet tool aid. The mig material on the spool will not stick to the copper, so the magnet can be placed between level joints - ensuring a level weld instead of a divited crease. [ I could not help but notice how body filler must be used to fill that strong joint you pointed out. ]
    So, does burnishing rods stick to copper?
    Could the copper covered flat magnet tool aid be used for the same success in level welds in joints?
