I haven't had a lot of extra time lately, but i did manage to get in some brazing time.:welding:
For your viewing pleasure, one neglectfully damaged lower compound rest weldment.
please be warned the images are graphic and nauseating....:lmao:
as before i preheated the weldment to 300*f and used a lower flame to keep a little better control of the rod.
being memorial day, my welder's supply is closed. i may have used a slightly smaller rod to control the puddle a little more precisely . i got er' done a little sloppier than i would have liked, but 70% of the material will be removed anyway.
she's never going to make parts for the space program ,heart valves, or Fire Engine Pumps.
I'll be ok, but the perfectionist inside screams , take er' back down and do it again with smaller rod.
i amuse myself sometimes with random OCD issues.
i'm not sure why, but some things seem like they could be done a little better, no matter how good the job.
i guess that's why doctors and lawyers "Practice" their professions.
I am an imaginary doctor....:thinking:
I suppose i can adopt the same philosophy , to "Practice" repairs of all kinds:lmao:
thanks for reading the lunatic rants of a Proud American!!!
For those whom served our country and gave all, our unending gratitude.
THANK YOU
