Title: Oooop's
Post by: holzwurm on March 31, 2010, 10:57:35 PM

Some days it just doesn't pay to get out of bed and touch a tool!

What are we seeing here, Jerry?  A ramrod pipe with a lug being attached?  Blood on the right hand jaw of the clamp?

The blood's normal around here - have lots of CA handy - long with the kicker to set it up quickly for bad gouges/slices, etc.
Looks kinda like a damaged brass somthing with hexagonal flats- ahh- silver brazed to the vice jjaws?

Run a fine slit slotter down the steel to cut the joint.  the lug's too long anyway.

The silver solder flowed and I welded the clamp to the lug. I know the lug is too long but I did it that way so I would be away from the weld and not steal heat - not far enough.

My silver solder flows at dull red heat...no way I can heat my clamp enough to have solder flow to it and stick.

I have drawn blood on every long gun that I have made. I just wipe some blood in the barrel channel as a way of making me a part of the gun.
