Amazing Brazing

...

Well, the brazing is really nice, but the video is only OK. Or, is that what you meant: "Video of the best brazing"?

I had hoped that "best video of brazing" would be about the brazing process; some explanation. It's none of that ... not a comment in 8 minutes.

Still, I'd like to be able to braze like that.

I could be wrong, but is brazing the best process for fabricating bicycle frames?

If they were "lugged" joints (part that has sockets to accept the tubes) done with capillary "brazing" (Silver solder?) I could understand, but I didn't think brazing "butt welds" & "fillet welds" like these would be suitable....

I thought some nice tig welding would be more suitable in this application...???

I am sure this guy would have the skill to use the GTAW process....

He is putting down some very nice bead!

Cheers,

Gary.

Nice to watch, but I didn't learn a thing.

That guy does look quite skilled and by the colour of the flame has a gas fluxer in the rig, not unexpected in the application. I have a bicycle frame maker near me that has similar kit and also produces similarly beautiful brazing.

--Ignorant me; what's a 'gas fluxer'?

IIRC the fuel gas is bubbled through a liquid flux solution before passing into the torch so a small amount of flux is always in the flame doing its job and helping make real sweet brazed joints.
