Or also, why not just pour the initial smelt into a flatter, longer mold closer to the finished product of all that hammering. I'm sure the answer is that the hammering does something very special to it, same with the heat vs cold.

Such a fine balance of heat for welding the seams without making the part a puddle of metal, most impressive. Is the solder the same alloy of metal as the rest of the pipe, if so I would expect a extra challenge to get just the right amount of heat to flow the solder without melting the part.
@theterribleanimator17936 ай бұрын
its an alloy. mix one part silver and one part brass, the alloy melts at a much lower temperature. if one wishes they can elevate the temperature of the solder by burning off some of the zinc during the mixing.
@raymorgan46573 ай бұрын
It's an alloy silver solder and there are actually different grades with different melting temperatures. For example, with jewelry that needs to have more than one thing soldered to a piece separately, you can start with the higher temp hard solder and then solder something else to it with medium or soft that has a lower melting temp so that the first solder joint doesn't remelt while soldering the next part.

craftsman lighting torches with butane lighters always makes me raise an eyebrow - besides the fact they work with their hands and compressed butane likes to explode if the torch hits it wrong, if you use them enough a striker plate is cheaper over the long run. there's literally no reason to use a lighter in the hot shop.

Times 5 equals 7475 strokes. Amazing, or not? Making 500000 hammer blows at 5/sec would mean about 1.2 days of work (someone check my math?) So the title is a bit far fetched ☺
