[@slbleadworks]

Ok sounds good. I’m planning to make a vid with this in very soon.

[@yorkshiresfinest6102]

Yes that would be very helpful 👍

Thank you and thanks for watching.

Do you ever boss your back gutter on chimneys or do you alway weld them

[@slbleadworks]

I always weld them. I’ve only ever bossed a back gutter once. And that was at college during my apprenticeship. Thanks for watching.

Hey thanks for taking the time to share the video. I've been practicing as a bit of a hobby really. We had an old guy doing all our lead burning but he's retiring. I'm looking to get one some courses soon. Have you any tips or examples of vertical or angled welding? Cheers

[@slbleadworks]

Hay no worries. I’m planning on making a more in depth welding vid soon. But for now a tip I would give for vertical welding. Is to weld down from the top first. And then come back up. I find this so much easier than just coming straight up from the bottom.

@@tonygrace4946 the welders warehouse is where I got my model o torch from. It’s the 2nd generation and I love it. Really recommend this one.

Would you always use a lap joint when welding or is there times when you use a butt joint ?

[@slbleadworks]

I would always try and do a lap joint

[@jamesvandaele3020]

hello I am from Belgium, can you tell me what thickness is suitable for welding

[@slbleadworks]

Hi. Anything from code 4

[@jamesvandaele3020]

@@slbleadworks thank you ;)

[@Lee-lo5te]

Can you do one on how to do vertical welds please?

[@slbleadworks]

Yes I’m thinking about making another welding vid soon. Showing all of those welds etc

[@Lee-lo5te]

@@slbleadworks that would be great. I've been working on the flat welds and can get them spot on now, but still can't seem to get it right on the vertical welds. 👍

[@garethcarberry7516]

It's not as simple as it looks lol😢

[@slbleadworks]

Are you practicing ?

[@garethcarberry7516]

@slbleadworks I had my first go today with mixed results. I'll keep going until they are good. Getting the flame right was my downfall at first. Thank you for the great helpful advice it is very much appreciated 👏

[@slbleadworks]

@@garethcarberry7516 no worries thanks for watching. And good luck with the welding.
