stevo are you using the blue paste from gasflux atmo?

Yes. I know it does not look like it in my pics. It is Gasflux blue {for brass/bronze} I run a Gasfluxer {on med} so I just use a very watery, milky mix of blue, just enough to eat into the metal and give it some "tooth", ease oxidation, give you a proper temperature gage for when to apply filler, show you the HAZ & ease/increase flow. I run it so watery that I have to have the torch in hand to "fix" the flux in place or it will all drip off the BB. Ask away, Y'all - this is my brazing FAQ. lemme know what you wanna know. - Garro.

new tools in the shop, rollers for my 3-roll large radius bender - now i can do 1.125" and 1.25" tubing. I can curve 1.125" down to .028" wall & 1.25" down to .035" wall. man, this is soooo much better then the fill it full of sand and hand bend over a wooden mandrel. I've come a long way in learning about bending/curving metal - Garro.
