Attachment 50262 Attachment 50263 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. :) Attachment 50264 Attachment 50265 Attachment 50266 Attachment 50267 annealing multiple metals - Cu, Ag, Au Attachment 50268 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.) Attachment 50269 Attachment 50270 |

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. :)
Attachment 50279 Filler metals - yes Will, I never know what is going to come in the shop next ... Attachment 50275 so I keep a good stock on hand. Nice to have a wing man keeping an eye out ... Attachment 50276 Lots of practice on aluminum flange welds ... Attachment 50277 washed planish-ment on the double lap weld... Attachment 50278 Note: edge of weld pool still shows, bottom. Class was great. Steel welds and copper welds not shown. :):)-end- |
