Brazing pictures

Thank y'all for nice words. The pieces were clamped to a 3/8" scrap plate with small vice grips. I wish I could have saved the #2 in the casting. It was cracked right through it. I tried to grind it back in but disc lacked finesse.

the disc may have lacked finesse...but obviously the operator didn't. ( fine work IMHO )

Back when I was restoring my International Scout. I came across a hole in the air filter which is an oil bath. Well it had a hole in it and me having a terrible gene for perfection I didn't want to J B Weld it. So I got cleaned up and brazed the hole with 45% silver silfos. I looked at it and was pleased. It wasn't easy trying to braze 22 gauge steel but I did it. It is like most brazing. Heat Control!


Hole is in the center of the picture.


All brazed up!

Very nice shoemaker!
I agree with you 100% about it's all heat control.

metal prep hangs in there too.

Yeah prep work is important also, the cleaner you get it the better and easier it will be to braze.

yep.. contaminated metal is hard to braze or solder.. especially porus metal
