    In my younger days, I was a combination light equipment/welder mechanic of a mine company in a remote town away from parts houses where we used to repair almost everything by welding, soldering, bracing or silver soldering if there's no available parts. We repaired parts like leaking radiators by soldering, silver soldered pinholes on hydraulic metal lines that rubbed against a metal by fillet a piece of metal over the pinhole and silver solder it or replacing a bad hydraulic line fittings by getting a good fitting and swage one of the metal line then silver soldering it. I've learned that silver soldering metals has to be properly cleaned, like you described and properly fitted (no gap). I've also learned that if the right temperature of the metal to be silver soldered is correct the silver solder just flow nicely. @14.21 is NOT a good example. The temperature of both metals that you are trying to silver solder has to be equal to have a better flow and penetration. I usually heat both metal to the correct temp then touch the silver solder rod and the flame to the work piece. It should flow if its done correctly. In my experienced it helps if you apply flux on the silver solder rod also. It can be done by heating the end of the rod and dipping it in the the flux. BTW Paul, I like the heat sink tool that you made. Thank for sharing.

As a virtual student watching what ever skill , it is more likely that I would learn more looking over the shoulder of a real novice , making all the mistakes anyone would , and listening to your advise , rather than watching you , the expert , saying this is how to do it , with no mistakes to correct . Not all the time , but I bet us lot watching learnt a lot from this video . Thank you .

    Helmut Clasen, multi ISDT Canadian gold medalist, seems to use silver solder exclusively when building his vintage Hercules and Zundapps. It is a real joy to see the solder flow around a joint properly...I used to make batches of nozzles to apply liquid medicine to suture thread during manufacture. I would silver solder a tiny stainless tube of about 1/16" outside diameter and 1" length to a nozzle body I made from stainless bar stock. I drilled a socket for the tube to sit in and would use a tiny dollop of silver solder paste that had flux already mixed in. I used a micro acetylene torch that made a tiny cone with very low gas pressure. I would put the paste on one side of the tube and would heat the other side, concentrating the heat on the thicker nozzle body. The solder would flow around the tube to the side I was heating, avoiding putting the heat on the tube as much as possible since it was so tiny. I would then finish machining the other end of the nozzle and drilled up to the tubing from the other side to have a nice clean hole... I also used the paste to solder carbide onto steel bar for custom lathe tools.

    Great video as always. The one thing people often miss here is that the metal follows the heat and you did a great job of pointing that out. Getting that heat around the insert is key and the solder then will flow into the joint. When I learned how to gas weld we were always told to hold the torch in our palm like a pencil with our palms facing up and ideally the heel of our hand or our forearm resting on something. This gives a great deal more control and range of motion than holding it like a pistol where you are counting on limited wrist movement and movement from your arm neither of which gives you the same fine control.

    Wow. Absolutely great stuff Paul, thank you. This brought me right back to age 14; being taught to solder and gas weld. Watching that solder wick itself around whatever it was I was working on was about as satisfying as anything at that age! Of course that was only when I got it right, didn’t overheat the part and basically have to start over. I learned all about the cone back then, the differences between soldering and welding and then of course introducing the flame for stainless! I still have my notebook with all my notes and drawings of flame types, 40 years later.

    Great video as usual, the only thing I could add is tell him not to hold his breath and learning more about peripheral vision helps too. This applies to all types of welding , cutting and soldering. Filing tips especially on cutting tips makes a huge difference along with a straight orifice to make sure gases are travelling correctly.

I kind of like this format, teaching someone how to do something, or do it better than they currently were doing it. It's fun watching a pro like you do stuff Paul, but if rookie tires to do what you are doing based on your tutorial, and makes rookie mistakes, we may not know where we are going wrong. If you are working with a rookie they are apt to make those mistakes and you can show how to correct them. More education that way. Keep up the great videos, I enjoy them and am learning a lot!

    Nice tutorial Paul. I use sil-brazing on all of my model boilers (unless building out of steel). Typically, I use my supply of Harris Safety-Silv, Rockmount Gemini-G or Silvaloy 45/450 (stockpiled over the last 40 years). For some fittings I prick punch to ensure correct clearance on the joint and then sometimes cut and distribute paillons of "solder" on the joint prior to applying the torch. This is as per old Live Steam and The Model Engineer tutorials on model loco boiler construction. The largest boiler I have sil-brazed is my vertical water tube boiler on my 7-1/2" gauge/1-1/2" scale CliShay logging loco.

    Glade to see you are recovering. I too have tried to teach others to braze, solder and weld with gas. It's hard to teach experience. Grab some scrape and start practicing. When the connections in your brain connect between what your eyes are seeing, the brain understanding what they are seeing and the ability to tell your hands what to do to manipulate the process it will almost instantly become intuitive, but it's hard to explain to someone who has no idea how the process works or what to look for as to what they are seeing.

They are doing a constant series of comparisons to guaranty the temperature of the oil. Made thousands of "Pitco" brand sensors. We had a patented device that welded the end of the tube into solid ball while the tube spun in a chuck. Protects the sensor.

    Paul, modest doesn't even come close to describing you, seriously. You are one of the most well known frame builders, been doing it longer than most have been riding and yet, so humble and "well, everyone's different, but this is how I would do it", like maybe you aren't so versed and skilled with a torch as you are. Props to Thomas for volunteering to be "coached". Looks like he was improving each time he did it, biggest thing to remember is, as you kept telling him, the silver goes where the heat is. On a side note, does he plan to put in a vertical brace in the DS chainstay yoke piece he made? Ask as to me, that looks like a failure waiting to happen.

    Thank you. Thomas said he didn't want to talk in the video, but then he did! He bought the yoke from somewhere, and I didn't think there is a vertical brace yet to be installed. I am skeptical of yokes. We will see if it lasts...

    If the melt temperature is higher than seven hundred and fifty degrees it is no longer soldering but brazing. The silver solder I use is one hundred percent silver. I see a lot of stuff on the market that is called solder but bu has a much higher melt temperature that the pure silver.

Yes the tutorial approach was very interesting, one could see you have a concise ability enabling you to guide the student. Always interesting to see the technical side. It would be instructive to have the differences between each process, silver soldering compared to brazing and the strengths of each any why it may be appropriate for a particular application. Thank you to both you and Mitch for the video. Regards Kevin.
