I decided to buy some tubing from Aircraft Spruce and do some practice joints. I have to say it’s more difficult than it looks on the old interwebs and I have a long way to go.
Tubing – 1-1/4 OD x 0.035 wall
Flux – Cycle Design LFB Flux
Brass – LFB Rod from Local Welding Supply
My observations.
Poor heat control.
Hard to “build” a fillet. (again poor heat control)
Little to no “internal fillet” – Should I be “tinning” the joint first?
Feel free to critique. More practice is planned. Here are some pics and you can see more over on my Flickr
