Great video. I think This Old Tony did this a number of years ago and used clamps to hold the blade. I like your design better. It’s less expensive and anybody can make it in their shop. I for one am going to make one. I go through several blades. This will be cost effective. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Dev! Yeah, it's always a strange feeling when you turn something on expecting a result and nothing happens. It takes a second to realize what's going on. The safety shoes are custom. Can't be had from the store...lol. Take care, G.
Great Video G! Always Enjoy your thoroughness in methodologies for all folks skills and tools. One question is do you dress the teeth after brazing around the joint? Nice thing about your aluminum jig is the heat sinking for the 7 inches around the weld but I see it bubbled a bit with the Mapp heat. If I remember correctly the Stay Silv starts to flows around 1225º then liquefies around 1350º and AL starts to liquefy around 1200º. Took a Saftety Silv cert class about a 100 years ago and some of it stuck I guess. ;-P They do make 3/64 & 1/32 coils. Thanks for another great video!
Thanks PJ. No, I left the teeth as they were. It looks like bubbles- but it's just flux that bubbled up as I was brazing. The aluminum is untouched. I believe your numbers are right in there. I think the focused heat doesn't allow the aluminum to see melting temps. Carelessness could though. Good to know on the coil sizes. This is a bit too large for the task. On a side note- I already managed to destroy all three blades...lol. All my fault of course. I may shoot a clip with details- who knows? Take care, G.
You would get a better flow if you heated the blade from below. Solder like to flow towards the heat source. If the source is below, the solder will wick between the scarf joint
True Bob. I did draw it in from the bottom, but it may be hard to see in the video. But, I think next time, I'll start the heat from the bottom and test the melt from the top, to make a cleaner joint when it sucks in. Might make for an easier cleanup. Take care, G.
I tig welded one, melted some teeth so it jumps horribly, but that sucker refuses to break again so I can finally get rid. Should probably make a jig out of copper, L-shaped so I can push the teeth into the corner and protect them a bit. You think silicone bronze would work? Definitely wasting our time, but what else would we do, watch youtube videos of other men wasting their time?
That's cool. I've never tig welded- but would love to have a setup. I honestly don't know if silicone bronze would work. LOL, I agree! I waste well more time watching others than I post for folks watching me... Take care, G.
@@ghostses You should get a TIG setup, youl'll be welding like Tony in no time, it's easy. Well, like Tony blindfolded and drunk anyway. Mine doesn't do AC, which sucks (no aluminum), but a scratch start TIG inverter costs nothing compared to one with AC, and I'm cheap. Seriously it's welding for civilised men, you can do that indoors with no smoke to speak of, and no spatter to set my shop on fire.
It's always nice to see people fixing what they have instead of just throwing it away and wasting money. Great job on the video. Keep em coming
Thanks and I agree! Take care, G.

Thanks Terry. I believe I saw his video as well- but don't recall. I do watch his stuff though. Take care, G.
You never cease to amaze me my YT friend. Have a great week.
Thanks Larry! You do the same, G.
That worked out very well for you! Nice nice work! Thanks for sharing!
That it did Mac! Take care, G.
Another awesome video and project by G. You did a great Job buddy. Should help other people wanting to do the same thing!!!
Thanks! Take care, G.
Great video learned a lot. You are very good.
Thanks Glen! Glad you found it informative. Take care, G.
As usual, a most interesting and well explained video.....I see you are a "southpaw".
Thanks Rich! Glad you liked it.
That I am. Southpaws run deep in my family.
Take care, G.
Nice work, man of many talents, I didn’t even have it plugged in, love it, Where can I get a pair of safety shoes like yours. LOL

pokaz jak i czym szlifowales miejsce laczenia ???
I didn't show, but described. I don't know how to convey what I did. Take care, G.
@@ghostses gdzie jest ten opis???
@@goldas2 It was in my words..

Yeah, more like Tony blindfolded, drunk, prescription meds, missing a limb and 200 revolutions at 300mph on a merry-go-round...lol. G.
