your work bench looks kinda like mine, well I might have a little more stuff on it. About every couple of weeks or jobs, I have to clear it off so I can find stuff. Thanks for sharing!
I'm trying to find a way to protect the cut ends of a chrome plated motorcycle exhaust. I need to shorten the exhaust pipe by a couple inches but there won't be any plating on the end after it's cut and I'm wondering if silver soldering or brazing the cut ends with something to prevent rust there would work? I know there's zinc paints and clear coats and things like that but I don't think those would hold up well over time, especially on the end of an exhaust pipe.
question: can you get silver solder that has different melting points, I have to repair a cam for a lock, but it must me extended first then have a 13mm through hole and then a 13mm key way broched steel bar soldered into the 13mm hole, hence the melting point question,also we only have a gas torch the type used to do copper pipe joints sutable ???

The Harris Products Group has solders that have different melting temperatures you should be able to get help at your local welding supply. Another resource is Indian Jewelers Supply ijsinc.
Hi can you please help me out I’m trying to braze 2pc of 1018 steel together with just a mapp gas and wanted to know what kind of rods would I need thank you so much
Yes you can for sure… the 55% has a lower melting point so will actually be easier….better to do it on a fire brick not steel which takes the heat away..
hi bruce thanks for video, i see it is alloy silcone bronze i think , no? 'im looking at alloy brazing , low temp , cold brazing , what do you suggest , ? silver alloy , always for sheet metal , galvanized thanks
I have a clutch basket from a BSA motorcyle. One of the threaded studs, which are brazed through holes in the back of the basket, has become loose and needs to be re-brazed. Could i carry out this with a butane torch? I am a brazing virgin.
I think this type solder takes to much heat and will distort the sheet metal. I did look and find a good video on tinning and soldering and here is the link that may be what you are looking for. ua-cam.com/video/87fuTnBS2bE/v-deo.html
What is the minimum powered torch you think I could get away with to silver solder 1/4 aluminum to 1/16” steel hinges? My propane torch can’t get it done.
Bruce Cheaney the jack of all trades . great video
Yes! Thank you!
This is how you do a tutorial. Very helpful. Thank you for posting.
Thank You...B.C.
Thank you. Haven't done that in around 20 years...

This is very interesting. Gonna try putting horse shoes together
Very cool! Thank you sir
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks for the info
Nice work.

I think it would be to difficult to solder the end of the pipe and make it look good.

Brownells has 55% high temp 1200 degree

This is a link to one of my soldering videos ua-cam.com/video/v054wvlbTgo/v-deo.html
IF I use the Harris 56% solder & can I expect the same kind of results that you experienced ?
It will take a little bit of practice. You can do it! By the way I subscribed to you channel.
@@cheaneysaddles You didn't answer his question. I'm also wondering the same tho? Is there a difference in the end result in 45 or 56?
@@timgibson2111 he answered the questions.. he said he could but it’s gonna take a couple try’s..

Harris Products low heat soldering wire and liquid flux.

I am not sure if that's enough heat, You might try experimenting on some scrap pieces of steel before you try the basket.
Will this work to fill in small pinhole leaks on a steel tube? Not sure of the alloy, I know its not stainless
The Harris soft solder should do the trick.Bruce
Can this be done on sheet metal about same gauge as on a car ?

You will certainly need a Speciality solder for doing this
Better to do it on a fire brick…the steel will dissipate the heat…
You are right
