What did you use to weld/solder?? Was it silver solder? This is the hardest part for me to grasp lol
@islandblacksmith 3 ай бұрын
yes, medium or hard silver solder or even just fine silver if you are very careful with the heat...takes some practice but a clean and well-fit joint and careful heating are the most important parts...

Thank you, that's just what I needed. I'm writing a renaissance fantasy where a blacksmith is soldering brass parts together for sword fittings, so I needed to know how to do it with a forge. Now I know the secret is to have a peacock supervising.

haha, yes! the real secret is plenty of charcoal and no more air than necessary...this makes a carbon-rich atmosphere around the piece which prevents oxygen from corrupting the joint...

they are carefully poured from a ladle onto a cold steel plate, it cools them fast enough to keep them from flowing too flat...it is still quite hot but liquid aluminum is cooler than most molten metals...
