- This video walks you through the old school technique of brazing sheet metal with an oxygen acetylene torch and also shows welding steel with an oxygen acetylene torch. Feel free to send us a comment if you have any questions.
Learned how to oxyacetylene sheet metal in highschool (late 70's) in welding class (then stick-all positions, then mig, then tig aluminum and stainless). Worked in a body shop around 80, and we had a mig welder. Even though we had bondo then, they started me on softer thickish metal cars (old VW bug), and I learned how to lead and file and work curved metal (lead instead of bondo). The painter was an old hot rod guy, and told me about how they used to prep for paint using leaded gas for wipe down. He died of cancer at about 52 years old ... all that paint and lacquer thinner. The 2 partners told me to go to college, and not be a body repair guy. I got an engineering degree, and have been working ever since - but I still miss those days of hammer and dollie ...
Yeah the good old days. The only PPE was a respirator and most guys only used them if they put hardener in the enamel. Thanks for watching
I grew up with a stick welder and did a little brazing too. Now at 70 years old I had to do some repairs on my brother's lawn mower. The steel exhaust pipe snapped off of his stainless muffler. I tried arc welding it, but the metal was too dis-similar and I was either burning holes or just sticking rods. So, I got out my small oxy-acetylene rig and decided to try brazing it. I didn't have any brazing rods, but I had plenty of metal wire coat hangers. So, I used the coat hanger and everything flowed like I was soldering copper pipes! Brother just finished mowing the three acres and the muffler was doing just fine!
Those old school techniques still work great and it’s fun to get out the old tools and put them to work. Thanks for watching
Thank you for the video sir.
Great tutorial. 👍 I’m learning this lost art to repair 90-110 year old gas pressure appliances.
Mainly Coleman camping gear like camp stoves, lanterns, table lamps, and cabin cook stoves.
I love the old ways of doing things.
That sounds pretty cool. Thanks for watching
Was the same in Newzealand. Never saw a Mig until early 80,s
Good refresher course😊
when you started on the steel rod, the first thing I thought of the muffler shop in town,the man is an artist at welding and bending tubing,I watch you do these things and think to myself, very few people even want to do these things anymore, reputable auto repair/body shops and maintenance is going to be a thin market soon,I hate to say it
You are correct. That’s been an ongoing problem that’s only getting worse. It doesn’t help that most things manufactured are disposable that isn’t even supposed to be repaired . Thanks for watching
You used to have a brass rod and a tin with the flux in. You would dip the hot rod in the flux and it would pick some up.There was no pre-fluxed rods back then.
Yep I remember those days. Thanks for watching
Very interesting content - I like these practical lessons a lot. #ThankYou 👍😎👍
Thanks. I appreciate your support
Thanks for posting very helpful.
Right next to the Gas Tank uh
You do great work. It's always nice to learn older techniques. I like to be able to do it all in my shop myself. Old techniques definitely help me out. Thank you! Also what do you use to edit?
I use adobe premier pro. Thanks for watching
I grew up on a farm where equipment was repaired with a oxygen acetylene torch. We didn't have power grinders etc. The rusty metal was prepared with a wire brush or file. I noticed that a lot of our repairs were along a previous weld. I've also heard the question of why do welds always break. What is/was the cause of this? Thanks a lot.
Research stress risers
His welding skills is beginners skills
That’s all that’s required to braze on a car
Nice job
Thanks
7:13 theres a face on the metal hahahaha
talking about a torch i remembered friend 40 year body guy removed a bunch of ball peen hammer dents out of my 66 ss when i was 22 ...he sed he heated the spot bright red and set ice on it and the dent was gone...is that correct
I’ve heard of that but not sure if it works. I may have to do a video on that subject. Thanks for the idea and for watching
which welding method would you recommend for panel replacement today?
MIG welding is the preferred method for panel replacement. Thanks for watching
I don’t need a history lesson
@vondinkinsvon8919: Was it really that painful?
I was in a hurry need to find something out I had a yard chair to braze setting the pressure I think anyway I got it done and a big woman was setting in that chair Saturday it’s fixed for now
@@vondinkinsvon8919:Glad to hear it.
i bet you do
