    cant wait for part 2, and i think your brazing turned out pretty well considering the difference in thickness.never tried it but i am horrible at soldering so probably wouldnt be to good at brazing

    Thanks! Unfortunately I got rid of my oxyacetylene setup so have to do everything with the propane cutting torch!!

    what Impressed me most was when this gentleman put his fingers behind the cut off wheel and the copper tubing . . . you sir have you know what's of steel . . .and, still, ten fingers . . .

    It's a "Miracle" bender, bends flat stock upto about 4" x 1/4", although you really have to lean on the 5 foot handle to bend anything that size!!

    Thanks, I would have used a welding tip but I don't have acetylene any more, it's too expensive to rent the bottles just to use them once or twice a year!

    Not sure what to look for. All the IR filters I can find are for letting the IR through and blocking everything else, surely I need the opposite!

    Do a search for IR cut-off filter or IR blocking filter. That should get you in the right direction.

    It's not good to breathe copper dust from the cut off wheel. You can buy copper in sheets and cut it with tin snips or a jig saw.

    Hi Gary Try a gas welding tip a cutting torch is not for welding or braising you will have more success with the proper tip and propane dose not work use acetylene and oxygen .
    I enjoy your Videos I own a 2 1/2 CWT John Brooks anvil and love to use it 280 LBS for us old school Canadians .From the west coast of Canada keep them coming

    I'm not sure which camera you use, but you might be able to find a decent IR filter for your camera model. I did a quick google and found some for less than $20. They double as decent protection from flying slag damaging the more expensive optics. This way you won't have to explain that "it looks hotter than it is" every time you work with hot metal. :)

      @garyhuston  4 года назад

      Depending on how long ago you last watched I’ve had problems with both hands and several operations, one failed and redone. Mostly ok now except for no feelings in one finger.

    I have collected various sizes and lengths of copper pipe over about 15 years of service plumbing with the intention of selling it as scrap... until this video. I am thinking some type of copper ivy leaves under the eave overhangs. Is there some way to actually harden the copper after it been quenched? Copper ivy with a beautiful patina, yup.

    • @garyhuston
      @garyhuston  4 года назад

      Brian Bassett working the copper hardens it, heating to cherry red and quenching will soften it.
