I spent many weeks at college trying to leadburn (weld) and I only wish I had achieved that kind of result. It is a difficult thing to master. You either have it or you don't. The instructor told me to whistle because it relaxes you. I got the whistling down to a fine art but not the welding.
Practice makes perfect,,,, lots of it !!! I used to do I bit but a mate of mine was shit hot at it and that's all he did , he came from a roofing background witch was handy and he knew exactly what I wanted. I could send him while I went fishing or shooting job done.
A steady hand,clean lead and the right flame is what's needed to achieve a nice consistent weld,bossing is something you can not rush it takes alot of skill to be able to boss corners up,i have seen alot try on site thinking they could do it easy and end up making a fool out of them selves lol the best part of the job is all that scrap lead from old buildings,churches ect,,a nice bonus at the end of the week on top of your wages😉👌
lifeshort grow up you know he meant trade. Think about others don’t try and put people down, his an old man that has done his life work and doesn’t need people like you mocking him online, where in reality you wouldn’t question yourself let anyone else. Understand? Comprendae?
I would so like to use lead on my garage roof as an alternative to an ugly asphalt one. If I can mange to do it myself it would only be a material cost and therefore no more expensive. These videos are extremely helpful and interesting. It isn't rocket science but getting something right the first time is testing....
There is no substitution for good leadwork. If your looking for a long term solution to flashings or guttering lead is recommended. It is however not a DIY skill and skilled lead workers make the difference.
An oxide layer forms quickly on most base and alloyed metals soon after solidifying or rolling/shaping. The metals it doesn't form on immediately are not going to be a viable roofing solution due to rarity and cost. In soldering (say, copper) you would usually use a flux separately or as a solder core (such as rosin-core solder).

I have just completed a 3 day lead welding course and use this video as a reminder of good practise.

Skill Builder try using a soldering iron. I can use a torch or iron. Ive done it for 32 years
I didn't have it, but I stuck at it and I'm getting there now anything can be taught if the person is willing to lern

Brilliant, just what I was looking for

Very informative video , very good indeed.

Neat consistent bead. Well done!
Fantastic video clip,

Does it also work with oxygen and propane?
Can anyone help me. It's for my son's homework. Would you use woolen gloves or latex gloves when working with lead
I don't wear gloves antill I'm oiling I know I should but I can't work in them
Isnt lead in danger of being forbidden to use due to its toxicity?
Why no soldering irons?
Where do you order lead from
I don't understand why u are scraping new lead clean when it is already clean ?
new lead will oxidise very easily which makes the weld slip cleaning will assist the weld to grip.roofer leadworker with 30 years exp

Also 😂😂
Anything that involves filling, you always clean first 😋
👍
