The NPR bit was great.

Thanks!
I get lots of press, I always said paid advertising was for boring people!

Beautiful work as usual Steve, you look like you rip those beads at a good fast pace.

I braze one in a very short amount of time, if that's what you mean - get in, get out.
Minutes at best.

Dear Mr. Garro,

I want to be your brazing apprentice.

Sincerely,
DT

Care to throw out a WAG for torch time on a joint separated between pre heating vs. actually laying fillets?

Had a ball on this marking a 50k run course in Huntsville State Park (Tx).

Thanks for everything Mr. Garro.

WAG?
Fill me in on what this is, and I'll try.

'Wild Ass Guess' if Im not mistaken...

I braze fast, real fast.
On those big fillets I'm pre-heating with a 20" flame on a #3 tip.

A few minutes for pre-heat, tops & I get the whole piece up to liquidus on the flux - start brazing right before your tacks pop.

From there, I'm moving quick as you can see from the spacing of the dimes, the metal barely freezes before I'm on it with more brass - 3/32nd rod & I would like to try 5/32nds and a #5 Victor tip for shits & giggles = I hear that's what Ritchey would do, if you are using mechanical removal then the bigger braze the better.

Yup, apologies as I hadn't been away from work long enough before posting to avoid speaking in unnecessary alliterations.

Thanks for the info SG.

Garro checked out of VSalon after having enough of the internets in another thread. In the time it took me to make this, the thread responsible was closed. So I will post my passive aggressive snarky photoshopped retort here.



Please keep us Garro "fan boys" updated of the goings on at Coconino HQ.

Dude, some day I'm gonna show up at your door with a case of brew and expect to hang for an hour with torch in hand... And then shoot the breeze about days gone by while doing all the finish work.

Sure!
But more likely to be put to work breaking down boxes and sweeping and tool organization.

It's where I started in the biz!
