I like the format Paul . As a virtual student watching what ever skill, it is more likely that I would learn more looking over the shoulder of a real novice, making all the mistakes anyone would, and listening to your advise, rather than watching you , the expert , saying this is how to do it, with no mistakes to correct . Not all the time, but I bet us lot watching learnt a lot from this video . Thank you .

One thing I discovered a while back was using a set of magnifying lenses that I bought at the dollar store. Sometimes we don't even realize that our eyesight is not as wonderful as it was in our youth. Magnification has much improved my brazing and my welding.

In my younger days, I was a combination light equipment/welder mechanic of a mine company in a remote town away from parts houses where we used to repair almost everything by welding, soldering, bracing or silver soldering if there's no available parts. We repaired parts like leaking radiators by soldering, silver soldered pinholes on hydraulic metal lines that rubbed against a metal by fillet a piece of metal over the pinhole and silver solder it or replacing a bad hydraulic line fittings by getting a good fitting and swage one of the metal line then silver soldering it. I've learned that silver soldering metals has to be properly cleaned, like you described and properly fitted (no gap). I've also learned that if the right temperature of the metal to be silver soldered is correct the silver solder just flow nicely. @14.21 is NOT a good example. The temperature of both metals that you are trying to silver solder has to be equal to have a better flow and penetration. I usually heat both metal to the correct temp then touch the silver solder rod and the flame to the work piece. It should flow if its done correctly. In my experienced it helps if you apply flux on the silver solder rod also. It can be done by heating the end of the rod and dipping it in the the flux. BTW Paul, I like the heat sink tool that you made. Thank for sharing.

12:34 I like the honesty there.. "It's acceptable"

[davidsnyder]

Holy cow Paul I didn’t realize how much skill is required to silver solder. In your past videos, you make it look effortless. Didn’t realize what it takes to solder well. Thank you for taking the time to make this, and all the other videos. Much love and respect. I’m greatful for all the talents God has blessed you with🙏🙂 super cool👍

in the mid '80s, as a young engineer, I had the privilege of working in a machine shop, being tutored by machinists in their '70s. That knowledge passed on to me transcends anything I can watch on TV or the internet. It's great to see Paul transferring knowledge to the next generation

"The solder goes where the heat is" The best advice I've ever had

[andrebartels]

Thank you Paul for the lesson. And thank you Tomas for letting us watch. It takes a lot of personal strength to let an audience see how you are being corrected by a teacher. You can be proud of your work. Nothing I ever brazed or silver soldered looked as nice as what you did here.

Paul, great job teaching Thomas! YES - this is a helpful format! Nice job, Mitch on the filming!

[ELECTRONICS]

Always great to watch someone experienced showing how to do things like this. Paul has some of the best videos like this, and of course Mitch does a great job as well. Get well soon Paul.

Thanks for the video, Paul. It's quite satisfying to see that there are people who are still interested in building frames out of real steel and put their heart and soul into it. Better this than all the carbon fiber bikes that get churned out like hamburger patties at a McDonalds.

Would love to see a whole Framebuilding 101 - series!

Hi Paul, Enjoying your videos. Thought at 85 years old I new most everything, but you are proving me wrong. Still work in my shop everyday. Wish you well. Best... Ken B.

[boatbeard]

What a great lesson. Paul is being patient and keeping things at a nice level intensity, the student is initially over cautious as many of us are but quickly followed the hints and explanations. Paul I think you are bang on about everyone learning their own particular way of doing things - after the fundamentals are mastered. Cheers from Oz, and no more slipping on the ice, we need you mate!

Excellent tutorial on silver soldering, quite different than brazing. Thanks for the video!

[neillambton]

Brings back memories of my days manufacturing navigational instruments, thanks for posting it Paul.

Thomas is a very lucky fella to benefit from your knowledge. In turn, he becomes the guardian of your knowledge for the next generation to come. I could watch these videos all day.

[GeneSimonalle]

This was GREAT! I'd love to see you teach brazing and TIG too! I volunteer to be the guinea pig for teaching. 🤠⚒🔥🚲

[davidwalters]

Life, a continual process of learning! Glad he’s going to his mentor! Great work once again! Thank you!

Imagine what a Honor and happiness having you as a master professor.
