Steve, I'm almost 60, and my dad started teaching me to torch weld when I was 10. I was fixing radiators, carb floats, and I can't remember what all back then. We even used coat hangers when they still made them out of good metal. People need to know the "Old Ways" in these times. Come a time when that knowledge and skill sets will be long gone...

Being a kid in the 70s and being around heavy equipment and race cars, that's all anyone welded with, I didn't see a welder until the late 80s and for years I've wondered why no one welds with brass and I even started to doubt my memories until this video. Thanks for sharing 👍🏻

Learned to braze many years ago. Before MIG welders, we used brazing to repair cracked or chafed hydraulic tubes on construction equipment.
My dad had an old vice that had been repaired (brazed) by an old school guy. The repair looked like a stack of dimes. Truly beautiful work.

Even though I braze weld it's interesting to watch and learn other people's Technics and knowledge, learn until you die. Love all your work. Keep all the videos coming 😁

Nice video, I'm 43 by now and I never learned the modern ways of welding with using electrizity, but I haven't done this in the last almost 25 years, nice and very well explained video. I needed a refreshing to my old knowledge, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us all. Keep on the good work. And have a nice life. :)

This has saved my ass so many times in the potato fields here in New Brunswick Canada, and 90% of the repairs are still going strong. This is absolutely my favorite channel on youtube love your work Steve....

Hey-hey-hey-hey my good brother when we were young teenagers even younger my body's dad used to work at the Indy 500 as a mechanic and he used to use old coat hangers to repair exhaust or just about anyting and he had a stack I always thought that was pretty cool and we used to goof off and just play around with the Torches he was big into Mopar never wore shoes always barefooted and his wife worked at the bar in that little town we grew up in and his garage was right there by the parking lot he whooped A lotta ass back in the day out of that bar LOL he was good at what he did one hell of a mechanic you have a good one brother it's always good seeing you around😎👍🏽👍🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽👊🏼👊🏼

My grandfather did a lot of brazing on my old truck. Rust repair on inner fenders and floors.it's still holding up 20 years later. This video brought back some memories. Thanks for sharing Steve!

[wjewell]

man ....this is awesome...finding your channel ...I hurt my back while ase master technician haven't worked in 10 yrs now on my profession but I loved being a mechanic. .work was playtime for me....

Nice to see, something in the real basic. Am 65, my first experience with a torch was when I was 14. Many of my mentors used to General repair. Most of my mechanics and body man mentors use on a daily basic. Thanks.

It’s called brazing or bronzing, old school method to join dissimilar metals.haven’t used it for some time, requires skill not just a fancy machine.knowledge of heat ranges and metallurgical properties are a must.

My dad taught me how to braze as a kid before I ever even touched a welder. Telling the older guys I knew how to braze and have them be surprised was cool. I'm probably more comfortable brazing than mig welding. No knobs and settings to figure out. You control both the heat and the speed and its on the fly adjustable. Really cool skill to know.

[kevinkoz]

Excellent video Steve, glad to see you sharing tips and tricks of the trade. Gas welding was the first process I learned. My grandfather taught me when I was in my early teens many moons ago. Keep up the excellent work!

The speeded up welding made me smile. I was thinking "he's really good" 😁

[davidgenthnerjr]

I learned to use a torch before arc and other electric practices. Depending on your skill and such you can make a weld just as strong as an arc or MiG welder. I've used brazing rod for places on a body panel you wouldn't want to just slap Bondo into. And depending on your ability to control heat, it can be done on these newer body panels too. Fixed a blow through from a stud gun on a 2000 model year Honda with brazing rod and a torch.

Thanks Steve that’s a great demo. Kids today need to learn these great ways to fix things and it doesn’t need to be pretty to work good. 👍😎

[Herbybandit]

Its worthwhile saying about the type of flame used for brazing, you should be using a slightly oxidising flame for mild steel and cast iron, the carburising flame you used is for hard facing ect as it adds carbon increasing the carbon content of the weld metal and a neutral flame of 1-1 ratio of oxygen to acetylene for welding mild steel, stainless ect.

[pauldryden]

Brass weldin !? we called it brazing. Learnt how to braze kart chassis as it was softer and allowed better flex for a wet weather set up 😊

[jonnyonthespotwelding]

Thats some cool stuff, and very useful. I often use copper wire to dress the weld cap, to give it a different flavor. Hood down lights on.

[heathenamerican]

Man makes me want to get back into welding. Lots of fun.
