Hello,
A friend and I are interested in building a few frames for a cataraft pontoon boats.
The material is 6063 -T52 1" aluminum pipe with .133 wall. Bending has been no problem since the minimum radius is about 9 inches.
My questions are about welding.
1) Would brazing be sufficient for this? It is appealing to take a rod and a propane torch along on a raft trip for repairs.
2) If brazing is not OK, what is the least expensive type of welding that I can do? I don't have $1000 to buy a welder.
Thanks very much for any info you can provide.
