George,,, you are a true craftsman. Watching you braze lite materials is amazing. and so instructive. Thanks so much for all your videos.

Thank you George for the videos and tips. All your work are beautiful and you're very inspirational and I've learned a lot from watching your videos. I love your voice too. It's very calming. Looking forward to more videos from you.

Before I learned how to do this I was using lots of spring clamps to keep parts in position before brazing them together.

Strube, I started using this method when I was having a hard time keeping two parts in position. Not only is it easier, but it saves a lot of time compared to trying to clamp something in position.

Another of your extremely helpful tips. Thanks George!

pretty cool George, my dad used to be a welding guy, for structural repairs and building things. Brazing was one of his known skills. He didn't do much in the way of art, he was brilliant, you remind me of him. I have all his and some of my welding set ups. He just knew how to do it.

Thank You for another Great Tip Your Artwork Is beyond words awesome !!

What a great tip George! I've been welding for about 2years now but just starting to get into brazing for some of my pieces and will definitely be using this technique. I loved the golf bag...you must have the patients of a saint to do all of those spokes ont that big wheel bike!

I enjoy watching your videos. I especially like the one about carving out a block of wood to make a bowl. It gives me an idea about making smaller cut out for smaller rounds. Thank you, Larry Dallas

Thanks George - I will do that and let you know which works best for me.

It's worth mentioning that braze joints can be quite strong. Harley and other early motorcycle frames were brazed. I used to braze "steel rule dies" (picture a typical steel ruler with a cutting edge on one side) used in presses to cut tough synthetic fabric. The steel would often fail before the braze joint, and brazing was used in preference to welding for ease of repair. We melted the braze, made a new section, then brazed it in place.

love it man its soo nice what you all make

Thank you. This is a very helpful and informative video.

The dob of bronze will be especially good for what you are doing. You can put the dob of bronze on the nails and then while the nail is still hot you can melt the brazing on the nail right onto the sheet metal.

THis very inspiring. I am just getting into brazing and I am curious what oxy/ac pressures you use and what tip size for that thin rod?

you do great work!

Nice. Informative. Thanks!

Thanks for the comment. For me, it's always a pleasure to pass along something I know.

The rods are RG 45 which is a standard mild steel welding rod available at any welding supply in 36" lengths. Tip size is an "0" tip on a Victor Performer. Welding table is 3' x 4' - 1/2" mild steel. Check next week for a video on a heat sink. With a heat sink you can use a lighter weight steel top for the welding table.

Very, very, very nicely done.

good idea. makes me think of pre-tinning when soldering wires

Great videos. Is is necessary to wear UV protection on the eyes when you are brazing as you would if you were welding?

Thank you George for this informative presentation. The rods are what material?Your tip size?. and lastly what is the thickness of the table plate

Great tip! With the "dob of bronze", who needs a third hand? You probably use quite a lot of O2 and acetylene, but what do you recommend for the occasional welder for the least expensive, most practical way to keep those gases handy in your workshop? Purchase or rent tanks? What size? 40cf? Thank you for your videos!

Hi, George. I love your videos, and i enjoy how you seem so humble. I've commented on a few videos of yours before. But i was wondering if you could help me with a problem I'm having. When i braze with bronze alloy flux rods i usually i have no problems. But when it comes to the R-45 1/8th inch rods i cannot get it down. Now i usually don't use new metal due to my financial problems. I do clean my used metal as best as i can. But every time i use one. It always has a slag look, like an arc bead

Personally, I would use a 00 tip and cut the flame back some. I have never had particularly good luck with 000 tips. But that is just me. Some people really like the 000 tip. Try it both ways and see which works best.

I love this video. Are you just using a bronze rod with no flux? It was suggested to me to use a flux covered electrode for brazing steel is flux necessary? I'm working with 22 gauge steel and 1/16th welding rods for sculptures.

I am not sure if I understand the question. You can melt the copper scraps all together. This might give you some interesting possibilities.

Your english much better than my Italian. I'm always im pressed with anyone that can speak or write in more than one language.

Hi George, I am doing some stick figures using 22 ga sheet metal for the bodies, and some nails for the arms and legs. Will your dob of bronze work for me? I may try using some RG45 too. Will it work on that? I do not want to get the sheet metal overly hot since it warps. But, using the dob of bronze would be great if it will stick to the nails and the RG45. Nice idea! Great video as usual.

I wear dark brazing glasses. Shade or darkness is dependent on what works for you. Welding goggles are fine but when I am going to be brazing for most of the day I find them claustrophobic. Main point is you want to wear something dark that are also safety glasses.

Reminds me of tinning before soldering

Diana, You're right, brazing and soldering do look similar. Brazing is done with a bronze brazing rod which require a much higher heat source than soldering. If you are using silver solder you can get a strong joint between two metals if you can get the metals hot enough to accept the silver solder. Wikipedia has a section on Silver Brazing (silver soldering) in their article on brazing. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazing

Ok,thank you George

Are you trying to braze with RG 45? RG 45 is a gas welding rod, so you are welding rather than brazing. The RG 45 is steel so you will get a gray color as opposed to the brass color you get with brazing. If you go to my web site under KZread videos you will see one that is Braze vs. Weld. There are also a couple of videos on gas welding. Let me know if this helps. George

Hi George. Thanks for the helpful video. This has helped me tremendously. I solder jewelry but decided to take a step up and learn to weld. My first project is to make these cute little garden/flower pot stakes. I want to braze a 1-2mm rod (about 12") onto the back of various copper blanks (some of them will be domed). Then I want to torch enamel using Thompson enamels, the fronts of these copper pieces. Do you have a resource (I am in Florida...not sure where you are) to find rods in those sizes in bulk? I will also need some that are about 36" and about 3-4mm in diameter. I'm going to add these to the other stuff I do when I do my craft fairs. Thank you in advance.

Lynda, You have a hand held torch. Can you describe it. In order to weld you need to get both pieces of steel so they are beginning to melt. If you are brazing you just need the two pieces of metal to get red hot. If you want to braze, I'd suggest flux covered brazing rod.

There is definitely a difference. Primarily I use "off the shelf" 3/32 bare bronze. I really like Crown brazing rod, but it is 30 - 40% more than "off the shelf" bare bronze. Gas Flux has their own brand. Sweden produces some exotic brazing rod. Brazing rod is an alloy. Copper + tin + (?). If you want something just a bit better than the "off the shelf" rod, I'd suggest Gas Flux. Most online welding supply companies are going to post details on the rod they sell. Details like; melting temperature, ductility, tensile strength etc..

Not only are you a wonderful artist and craftsman but you are also a really good teacher, videographer, editor, and content contributor. I am not a person that gives undo praise, I think telling someone they're doing good when they need work is counterproductive. My one complaint is that your information and presentation is of such value to me it is impeding my production. Shame on you. lol I do have a few questions; 1. What is your bench made of? 2. I'm planning on watching most your videos, I was wondering if you had some on beginning welding/braising tutorials. B. I know how to solder pretty well. I do stained glass panels. (my profile pic is one of mine pieces.) and want to incorporate metal and glass. This is such a happy thought for me it gives me "Snoopy" feet everytime I start drawing up designs. I just need to up my skills on a few things. Figuring out how to get the metal hot enough to attach the copper foil to the structure without breaking the glass has been an issue. I figured out a work around tinning copper wire and attaching it that way. My goal is to have them attach directly. Any ideas? I so appreciate you sharing you experience and know how. I looking forward to watching all your content. Thank you. MRS

Paul, take a look at this video. kzread.info/dash/bejne/mmSqq9iioLq8pbw.html Especially the torch angle. Not knowing the thickness of the metal to be brazed, it's a difficult question to answer. Use the thinness brazing rod you can find. Make sure the metal is clean - no oil, dirt or paint. I've never repaired a gas tank. But I have repaired other vessels. If you put in a cup of water and it doesn't leak, then fill the tank. A full tank of water will put more pressure on the brazed hole as opposed to a cup of water. Safety: You'll definitely want to make sure the tank has been steam cleaned or some other method to make sure there are no residue fumes. I would strongly recommend checking out some Harley sites. I'm sure that you are not the first person who wanted to repair a Harley gas tank. You'll probably find someone who can give you first hand experience.

Size? Depends on how much Oxy/Ace you are going to use. The smaller cylinders are convenient but they don't last long. If you go with the smaller cylinders you can always trade them in on larger cylinders. It is a hit on your wallet, but buying your cylinders is cheaper in the long run.

As mentioned by everyone elese, thank you for your videos! I have watched them so many times, especially this one and all are a wealth of know-how. There are a couple of aspects that elude me: you dont flux your parts at any point. You make your dob of bronze with your bronze rod which was prefluxed and scraped. But when it comes to joining your dobbed rod to the rest of the work piece, the rest isn't fluxed. how so? Does this work because your materials used are new and clean, or are they fluxed before your attaching your new (bronze dobbed) item? Do you believe this process would work with brass (CuZn) filler rod? Do you believe this process would work with silicon bronze (CuSi) filler rod? Thank you for your help!

Evidently there is a enough flux remaining that it works. I would know and could see visually if it wasn't flowing onto the other part. If i read this right CuZn is brass which is copper and zinc. For a filler rod I don't use CuZn. I am using bronze brazing rod which is copper and tin. I seldom use silicon bronze so really don't have enough experience to comment. Let me know if you have any other questions. George
