I made some brazing repairs to Henrietta's badly crashed compound rest in the last episode...
i used the Twin Carbon Arc to achieve the build up, i was not able to continue the practice on this repair, my carbons became too short an i was not able to continue until i receive some more A/C copper coated electrodes.
in the interest of moving things along and as to not get too stagnated on an irrelevant issue such as to how the brazing was accomplished, i decided to break out the old oxy/acetylene rig and braze the rest of the build up.
i placed the compound rest back into the 350* for an hour then turned off the stove and let the casting cool on fire bricks.
i'll take more pictures as i start knocking the brazing back down.
as always,
thanks for taking the time to read these posts.
i'll do my best to describe the up coming operations.
