- Easy skill to learn and opens up a whole range of creative and utilitarian uses. Some people are intimidated and make brazing far more complicated than it really is. In this video I demonstrate a simple brazed joint. Starting with lighting the torch, heating the steel to red hot and melting the brazing rod into the joint.

Hi George, how refreshing to learn from someone with a measured and precise delivery without distracting music and erratic video editing. Thank you, Bob in the UK.
Glad you like the video. I'm a pretty simple person, so I like to get right to the subject and explain it in the simplest terms as possible.
Thanks for showing what it looks like when things ate done wrong that is as important as showing what it looks like when things are done correctly. Besting brazing video I have seen, thank you.
John, thanks for commenting. I've always learned best when seeing how something is done correctly and done incorrectly.
Been a amateur stick and wire welder for 40 years but never used brazing. Have a project that access makes this the logical/practical choice and feel much better about tackling.it. Thank You.
for sure keep doing more, I have a small engine shop and your videos on brazing and oxy-acetylene use are invaluable
Excellent presentation as always, George - thank you. I'm basically a tyro when it comes to brazing but I'm learning, and with the help of your videos that learning process has been made all that much easier.
That was a beautiful joint. Love your style Mr Goehl. Looking forward to watching all your videos.
Excellent intro to brazing. Thanks, George!
Awesome video!!! You are the Morgan Freeman of brazing videos!!!
+Ramon David Thanks Ramon for the compliment. Hope I can live up to your praise.
Top notch video! Given me a lot of confidence to go ahead with my project - thanks!!
The most informational video on the internet that’s about brazing! This video was very helpful!
Thanks for the comment. Glad to hear it helped. For more on brazing, check out this list of videos. For oxy/ace, scroll down. gsegmedia.com/?page_id=2877
Thank you for making these videos on brazing.
Once again George, helpful as ever. Excellent teacher, take care. Norm.
Thank you for the great video. This is a skill that is no longer being taught in my area's vocational welding program. I took a welding class 17 years ago and it was the very first thing we learned. I am currently taking welding class again and was shocked that we weren't covering this. When I asked why, I learned that my instructor was never taught how to braze and neither was the instructor before him. It is a shame that those that go through the program will do so without learning how to do this.
thank you George. excellent teaching. I am a mechanical engineer. like your simple,, to the point, informative and clear teaching.
Thanks, Andrew. Yes, I do like simple. Having worked in industry, I have alway marveled at the magical machines that have been designed that few people get to see but produce goods that become a part of everyday life. Hats off to mechanical engineers.

Thanks for sharing .
Thank you it's very instructional and it's just what I needed right now.
Right on! Brazing explained in a very thorough and simple way.
Thanks, John. I definitely do like simple.
Really nice easy to understand tutorial, thank you
Your videos have been very helpfull I am getting better at brazing from watching I have been doing braze work for years and it is an enjoyable hobby to do and to make and repair different things and it doesn't cost alot to start out with a small torch set
The best tutorial on the web! Thanks
Thank you. Glad you liked the video.
What a fantastic video. Clear, smart, supremely helpful for beginners like me... Thanks for making this!
Thanks for the complement. More free videos at www.gsegmedia.com
Thank you for this video. I am brand new to brazing and this video is incredibly informative and it is great that you demonstrate correct and incorrect techniques. George Goehl for the win!
Glad you like the video. I find that I learn a lot through mistakes. The good news is that mistakes eventually turn in to successes.
The best explanation on the web. Thx.
Thanks, that's quite a compliment.
George, you are awesome! I learned a lot from your videos. Thank you very much.
Lolita, thanks. That's empowering. I'll try to keep more videos coming.
George
definitely, your videos are top notch
Very nicely produced and informative. You are giving me the live info and techniques you usually only get from a shop teacher.
Keep posted, I will be adding more videos. I'm a little slow, as there are just not enough hours in the day.
Thanks. I am a self taught welder in the days before UA-cam. You are helpful and I will check out your other videos.
Thanks for viewing. Here's a complied list of free UA-cam videos: gsegmedia.com/?page_id=4657
Extremely well-narrated and illustrated; thank you!
Thanks, appreciate the comment.
Very good instructions; thank you for sharing!
Congratulations! You will learn a lot and have fun doing it.
Thanks George for nice video.
THANK YOU!
I from indonesia ,Thanks so much. Exactly the information I have been looking for.
Although the intro was a little long and slow, it is a great video. I used to braze a lot, but it was over 20 years ago. I tried to pick up and just get back to brazing, but I forgot a few things. The video reminded me how to get my tip set and a few other fundamentals. Thanks for the help. Now just waiting for my flux to arrive...
Appreciate the comment. Positive comments always give me inspiration to do more of these.
That helps, I’d like to be able to see what the braze looks like through the filter a little closer
@@damien12309 Thanks for viewing and commenting.
@@897473 of course im working on trying to put together a mini flatbed for a high end rc car and its a bit challenging to get it just right but this vid helped, I think I just need more Time in the host seat.
Hi there I’m trying to braze mild steel for a kohler small engine control. However, every time I try to braze the same thing happens, I can’t get the filler metal to melt. I’m very familiar with soldering, I’ve done thousands of joints, however it seems like I’ll just sit there and rub the rod against the red hot metal and pretty soon I find myself using the flame. I know sometimes to get the solder flowing I sometimes put it against the iron or torch for a sec. any thoughts?
@@jamesboles3679 Not sure exactly what you are doing. But, the heat from the flame must get the filler rod hot enough to melt. If you have the base metal (the mild steel), red hot or close to red hot, put the brazing rod on the red hot metal and heat the rod. Also possible you may be using too thick of rod. For what you are doing I'd use 1/16" brazing rod.
WOW! Brazing 101! Great informational video and thank you for posting it. I find brazing leaking exhaust flanges around catalytic converters in difficult to reach locations works great!
Thomas, thanks for commenting. Yes, that simple technique does make the job a little easier.
Thanks George very informative lots of knowledge gained. I would have been a nightmare To screw up such a rare car.
Thank you so much this was very helpful
Thanks John. Boils down to just a matter of practice. Keep it up.
George
Just wanted to say thanks for the video. I was having problems with knowing what type of flame to braze with. Your video helped!
Steve, good to hear that the video helped. The more you braze, the easier it gets. George
Excellent tutorial...thorough coverage...
Thanks Michael.
nice video , THANK YOU for very simple and clean instructions.
Rashid Rehman thanks for viewing. Simple is most always better. Less confusing.
Thank you George, just learning about this, found it very helpful for a beginner
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks much George, just the thing.
He is very calming
Thanks. I too use brazing for lots of utility jobs around the shop and in my house.
Thanks for sharing. Very nice tutorial, too.
Appreciate the comment.
Awesome video.
I am trying to braze at the moment and you have helped me out with this video, thank you.
Glad to know that the video helped. Thanks for letting me know.
Very helpful- thanks
Was not putting enough heat and was creating a mess, thanks again!
I've been doing this for almost 50 years and I still make messes. The key is: Not Giving up.
I Tig weld a lot , when steel is melted it will react to the nitrogen and other gases in the air and cause oxidation and perosity without shielding gas, Red hot for braze . I'm glad he showed what happens.
Thanks for viewing. I envy your Tig skills.
Thanks!! Great video!!
Appreciate your commenting.
Jonathan Banks, is that you? 😁
Thanks for this video. You have simplified something that many videos take 10 minutes to overwhelm and confuse people with.
Wow, thanks! I do like to keep things simple.
Excellent. I was wondering not so much oil or rust, but mill scale that is on most mild or cold rolled steel. I will keep cleaning just like I always have. Thank you for another great instructive video.
That mill scale is a tenaciously adherent oxide, and MUST GO! It's asking way too much of your flux.
Very well explained and executed also.
Thanks. Here's a list of the UA-cam videos (scroll down). gsegmedia.com/?page_id=4657
Solid advice.
Thanks for commenting.
Just got a oxy/ace setup to try this stuff out. Thanks George
Great video, very helpful. I have brazed before but needed to brush up to get my confidence to tackle and important job working on a Manx Norton brazed T 45 replica frame for a customer. Thanks again.
Glad it was helpful. Looked up "Manx Norton" - nice looking bike.
I restore vintage and classic Norton motorcycles. This frame will be used to house a Triumph engine in a 'Triton' hybrid... I do not necessarily approve by as they say, the customer is always right :)
Just watched an old "Lovejoy" episode. Part of the episode was converting a Brooks Superior. Doubt if it would work like it did in the video. i know nothing about motorcycles but sure like to look at the photos. Lots of ingenuity.
@@897473 It was the first engine with a hundred per cent volumetric efficiency! AND looked pretty cool!
Wow what a difference, now I know where I am going wrong, your video on lighting the torch with the feather flame, I was instructed to turn up the oxygen to remove the soot.
Thank you for your help you have a new subscriber.

Thank you George good video still after 6years.
Thanks David. Keep in touch, George
Great video...
Thanks, glad you liked it.
Thank you 🙏🏾
Thank you sir.
Thanks Strube. Always appreciate your comments.
Appreciate the encouragement. I should be adding more soon.
Great voice and teaching style.
Thanks, I'll try to keep them coming.
I have watched 15 videos or so on brazing, l wasn't sure if l could do brazing or not. After watching your video, you explained it so simply, l am sure l can braze. I have soldered stuff for years, the only big difference l see is the heat. Thanks
You're right, it's just a little hotter. You should have no trouble. Thanks for commenting.
I learned a lot from your videos. Maintaining the old school d^^b
Thank you I'm a welder I went to school for it and we only had one day to braze so I'm trying to teach myself because itll be a good skill to have as well as knowing how to weld
Matt, my brazing is a bit different since I am doing sculptures. I spread a lot of braze around because I like he contrasting color, especially with copper. Here is a link to more brazing videos. Scroll down for torch work. gsegmedia.com/?page_id=4657
Appreciate the comment. Good to know that it the right video at the right time.
Thank you. This was exactly what I needed. :-)
Glad that to hear.
@@897473 Trying to get into brazing copper for a project I am planning. Having only worked with plastics before, this is a major step for me. :-)
@@autonomous2010 I've put all the brazing videos here. Makes it easier to find what you want. gsegmedia.com/?page_id=4222
Hey George ! Thanks for sharing these videos , I’m wondering what you have your gauges set at when you are doing this particular braze ?
You sir are the Bob Ross of brazing. 🧐
Thanks for the compliment
It's been my exp[experience that clean metal always brazes and welds better than oxidized, oily or rusted metal. This is especially true of brazing.
For brazing, if I run into a situation where I can't quite get in to get it clean I will use some extra flux. George
That was the only thing you didn't go over in the video.
Great video, I always thought that to get rid of the acetylene shoot was to add oxygen never knew about the acetylene feather. Thank you
Keith Meyers Keith, years ago an old welder showed me how to light the torch. Been using his technique ever since.
Thanks for watching.
Glad that you liked the video.
Hi George, thanks for the video, I restore antique pre-1910 bicycles and most of them have been brazed, so I wanted to learn more and eventually do it myself.
I have 2 questions for you, hopefully you know the answers
Most of the old frames have a lugged construction, where a tube goes inside a lug and then they are brazed together.
1. If I want to replace one of the tube that has a badly damaged part, is there a way to "melt" the brazing or will it just mess it all up?
I also notice on some frames when I sandblast them, that brass have been used to fill areas where the tubes were dented.
2. It is the same technique as brazing to fill bigger holes? And how thick can you braze?
thanks
Very good.
Thanks for commenting and viewing.
Thank you sir!
Xeon. thanks for viewing. Hope you found it helpful. George
Yes Sir, It was very helpful.
George, I have a 1/4" i.d. steel pressure washer fitting that I need to modify. It has two pieces: the front piece which fits into the pressure washer outlet, the rear piece which was used to crimp a hose to the front piece. The hose has been removed. The front piece swivels around in the rear piece with a very close tolerance fit. I need to fuse the two pieces together to withstand the 1500 psi of water rushing through it. Can you recommend an inexpensive way to braze them together? I have a Benzomatic oxy/map torch kit with 2 steel rods, 2 copper phosphorous rods, and 1 bronze with flux rod. Thanks.
Hi George - do you clean the metal before brazing? I normally MIG or TIG weld and always clean the metal before welding. Thanks.
lmao...his voice put me to sleep...i literally hit my head on my keyboard...hes like the Bob Ross of melted metal..
Bob Ross of melted metal lmao. Exactly what I was thinking.
I literly got recommended a Bob Ross video when I clicked on this
Well he's helping people, me included.
Other than impoliteness, what have you contributed?
Our school have to do work on this, I don't find it interesting but it also doesn't make me feel bored. I don't know what to think of it
He has a very relaxing voice, easy to listen to
Sushil: I don't know. I have never worked much with aluminum. There may be some way to do it with Mig or Tig.
With the oxy/ace torch the flame would melt the aluminum before the steel reached a brazing heat. You may want to check some welding forums and see if you can find an answer.
George
so great
thank you sir good job
thanks for viewing and the positive comment.
George Goehl it's my pleasure sir
hi,,
im doing a brazing repair on a small gas tank and some of the welds keep cracking after i have it welded.. am i doing something wrong?
Great
what oxygen / acetylene psi? thanks.
Ok Thanks
I wish i was Good like you.
Thanks for commenting. I have my days and then there are those other days when things don't go as planned.
@@897473 . I just got into brazing and Welding. Im 25 years old. And love the Hard work. I'll probably never be as good as you.
But i take my time with the Fire and Copper.
I practice , I get frustrated. I go to your videos ' for information
Would it create a strong join, joining a piece of brass to a piece of non-stainless steel? Would that be also called "brazing" ? Would the special filler brass be required, or can the brass piece itself be brazed directly onto the steel? This would be a relatively small piece of brass (1/4 inch thick, 1/4 inch wide and 1 inch long), and joined lengthwise to a long and thin steel rod (1/4 thick, 1/4 inch wide, 2 feet long). Perhaps the brazing material itself can be used as the brass piece? The 1 inch brass piece does not need to be a hard metal; it can be quite soft, it's fine if it is easily scratched, but it should be flexible and not brittle.
Is it possible to braze aluminum and a light grade of steel? What rod & flux should be used?
I want to fabricate a fitting for an O2 Sensor on a car's cat - screw it the fitting into a hole and braze in filler steel to aluminum cat outer ?
Thomas, I know nothing about aluminium. Suggest you check out some welding forums. Some of the people on the welding forum have welded anything that can be welded.
Mr George 1G brazing is a groove joint, where one has to Produce a root weld and a capping
Thanks for your comment.
Thanks George for nice video.
i have 1 question , is it possible to weld iron with aluminum with brazing rod ?
Weld is not the word here! Hard to weld such dissimilar metals b/c of radically different melting points. They can be ah, soldered together! I've used those low-temperature aluminum braze sticks to bond aluminum to galvanized steel for example. It LOOKS welded, but it's kind of soldered.
VERY well taught! I love that you didn't play horrid background- ADHD attention keeping noise! I went to your site-love the video's; plan to purchase/build my library. But; I was hoping to buy; would rather buy books-have you planed on writing books?
+Robin Sauls Robin, your questions need more information than I can give here. email me at ggoehl@gmail.com
+George Goehl does it make a difference the percent 5% or 15% the brazing rods are?
+Robin Sauls Robin, Your comment "rather buy". When you buy the videos on Vimeo, they are yours to keep. Downloaded to your computer. You can put them on your desktop computer, laptop and tablet. For books there are four eBooks that can be downloaded. Personally I think these are better than printed books because they have links to further explain a specific technique. In addition there are lots of photos.
You remind me of Mike Ehrmantraut!
