I truly appreciate all your videos. I saw how proud you were of your son. He will be fine. I am 62 years and a 100% disabled Vet from A.F. I had a great time and started learning how to solder and weld while I was in. Refrigeration Shop. He will do well sir. Again, Thank you for all your instructions.

@freddyrasheed528 6 лет назад

I am so very impressed, with ALL YOU DO, when I started in this industry in vocational school in high school, these are the things we learned how to do and it doesn’t seem like they show or teach the stuff a lot anymore, I love the old-school ways and the way you conduct yourself. So I just want to say thank you for what you give back to the industry.

@retireddec04 3 года назад

1st and only time I used silver solder was in tool and die school. Soldered high speed steel tips onto cold rolled steel for boring bars. They are still holding up 10 years later. Good stuff.

@myrametals 4 года назад

Really great video regarding silver solder! Great young man assisting as well! As a sales person for the welding industry, your videos really help EVERYONE- I'm a huge fan and will continue to be!

@thefreedomwarrior 11 месяцев назад

Bob has to be the real deal. Looks like he raised a good kid.

@MrShobar 9 дней назад

I'd would never have talked to my father like that.

@withoutdad7616 7 лет назад

awesome video Bob. Simple and to the point. Good to see the young ones being productive even if they are lippy and disturbing the tools.

@thelement3363 2 года назад

That scuffle between you and your son was awesome example of give and take. Thanks gents.

@waynenocton 7 лет назад

In a pinch I once silver soldiered a clothes dryer element and then ordered the replacement to make the full repair later on. It ended up outlasting the dryer itself, I never did put the new part on. Great video.

@Bluelightbandit 7 лет назад

lol love Tombstone! Seen that movie about 50 times! Thanks to your son for serving our country. respect!

@JayKayKay7 5 лет назад

About to fix my mother's broken silver service set; two handles need to be attached to a bowl. You popped up as the first You Tube on 'silver solder'. I learned a lot and you demonstrated the basic process. Thanks. Of course, I'm going to roll with the Craftsmen MAPP yellow home gas and Ace hardware alphaFry #53982 Specialty Soldering Kit featuring silver solder solid wire and flux. Seeing as how I am clueless and have a tremor, I think all will be well and the repair will be successful. You have a fine son and I hope the Army bit works out. (ex Air Force, myself.)

@thebmac 7 лет назад

these videos really help to see the everyday applications that can be done. Thanks for all your videos.

@bhein67 5 лет назад

This was a great video Bob. I was searching for info on silver soldering carbide tips for turning tools and am glad you had a video. I really like your logical straight forward way of approaching projects. I have watched many of your videos and have learned from them all. Cheers

@ronalddavis 3 года назад

look up stephen gottswenter channel. hes a machinist in germany and has a video on what you describe. i might thavespelled his name wrong but its close enough to find it

@JG-mp5nb 3 года назад

Haha! We have the same yard tool and it broke exactly where yours did. My husband drilled and tapped it and it’s still going three years later! All of a sudden they’re ready to go , and they don’t visit and call as much! Good luck to him-go active!

@codyguynn6386 7 лет назад

long time viewer, first time comment. thank you sir for all the time and energy put into your videos. I am not certified but not many of us in the fencing and gate industry are. therefore I appreciate the diversified non opinionated education I find on your channel and have used things here and there to become a better welder. I charge more for my welds than I used to and I believe I owe a thanks to you and a few other you tubers. thank you sir -Cody starline fence and gate panama city beach, fl

@ls2005019227 7 лет назад

Bob, thanks for another great video. Tell your son thanks for his decision to serve our country.

@rondumontier1187 5 лет назад

I got my 1st job cuz I could gas weld, braze, solder. One person said we should learn this 1st, he,s correct. Nice video

@stewartalbert3523 4 года назад

In my work life i silver soldered copper alloys used in resistance welding applications . A tough one is a scintered material of tungsten and copper , hard to "wet" and too much heat causes tungsten to precipitate to bottom of weldment . Another tough one was induction heating coils made from rectangular copper tubing .

@ddcd53 7 лет назад

Nice video, very informative. I'm enjoying these videos on the brazing and oxy/acetylene welding very much. I think every welder should learn the o/a and the brazing before the stick, mig and tig. O/A is real welding. Once you learn that, the rest is easier. Just my opinion. Thanks Bob for these vids. Dan.

@chrisbeard5794 2 года назад

Oxyacetylene was what attracted me to welding in 5th grade im 33 now and I have done all the welding processes SMAW, GMAW, GTAW, FCAW but out of all of the faster processes I still prefer Oxyacetylene became sort of a expert in it controlling the weld pool and the torch.

@CTmoog 7 лет назад

Used it all the time on copper pipe back when I used to install a/c systems. Cool video!

@jolkraeremeark6949 4 года назад

Would this technique work on a chainsaw exhaust?

@w5cdt Год назад

Great for refrigeration copper tubing.

@Gears.and.Gadgets 7 лет назад

I have been using brazing techniques for years. In the Refrigeration industry I either braze with sil flos or silver solder. Best rule of thumb is copper to copper is sil flos. Copper to anything else is silver solder.

@bobmoffatt4133 7 лет назад

Thanks for the feedback. Good intel.

@Harry-ei7os 5 лет назад

How's about stainless to steel?

@jsfkdkjslfdslfkdj 4 года назад

Stainless to carbon steel can be done with a 56% silver brazing rod with a paste flux

@Lahainalongboarder 4 года назад

There’s so many different kinds of flux. Can you use just regular flux found at a plumbing supply store?

@phiksit 4 года назад

Just make sure it isn't soldering flux. You want the white paste flux in the plastic jar. There's a ton of different brazing alloys too. Only a few seem to be available to us every day folks. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_brazing_alloys

@dasvelo3758 7 лет назад

Great stuff! More silver brazing please, perhaps show its limitations too. Awesome belt buckle!!

@dandexinventor 3 года назад

Thanks for the guidance and great to see you and your son having fun. My son and I joke around a lot too.

@aubreymatthews1021 3 года назад

I’ve never found a solder with the capillary action that silver solder has, great video and a good dad.

@seamanjive 3 года назад

Just what I needed...got to fix up a tiny leak on the vaporiser tube of a kerosene lamp. I'm thinking bit of flux, silver solder rod and run it in. My Dad was a welder, wish he was still here !

@MrNigel1340 7 лет назад

Thank you, an interesting and well laid out video, regards Doc Cox.

@thor-dx8sz 6 лет назад

One of the things I thought was really neat is how high of a tensile strength some sodders can have when i thank of solder i immediately think of circuit board solder

@Mentorcase 5 лет назад

I broke the inner cable of my dremel extension and just silver soldered it for a temporary fix while I waited for a new cable to come in the mail, that was more than a year ago and it is still going strong.

@MrKidkiller159 7 лет назад

nice little repair. thanks for sharing you many years of expertise.

@thanasisathanasi4965 5 лет назад

@ScottTheis 6 лет назад

Thumbs up for your son's service. Thank him for me and mine.

@Tiredofthecrap Год назад

I have worked with silver solder and flux for many years. Orthodontic appliances are made with silver solder, stainless steel, solder, a superfine torch flame and human hands. The appliances are extremely durable.

@burrowssj 6 лет назад

thank you for these videos, keep up the good work!

@anthonydwilliamson 7 лет назад

Thumbs up for the "go heels" Tombstone quote. It's like your working with your brother's kids or something

@daveybernard1056 5 лет назад

nice

@johnchadwicktilton 4 года назад

Can you name off the Silver Solder rod types and the Flux , possibly leave links ?

@patrickbehan8737 7 лет назад

Good video Bob would like to see you use silver soldersed again in different applications

@Bigtwin88 7 лет назад

Great video Bob..... Thank you

@davidjames1007 5 лет назад

Thank you, very informative as are all your videos. I have just purchased a mini torch to do silver soldering of small model steam engine parts. I have never done it before and would like to know if the flux is always a paste or in powder form? I bought powder flux, does one wet it or can I use it as a dry powder?

@banjosambar 7 лет назад

Love the tombstone quote 😎👍🏻

@MakeItWithCalvin 7 лет назад

Can you try doing silver solder work on thin brass parts in the .02-.03125" range?

@dougmaz1 3 года назад

Bob I do lots of silver soldiering for my model engineering steam engine’s and I only use a very soft flame held about 2” away from the job and wave it back and forth then all of a sudden the flux starts to go watery and shiny then touch the silver soldier on the job and then it flashes around the part it even flows up hill. I started when I was your son’s age now I’m 82 yo. I would use that flame you used to do brazing on thicker materials not silver soldier because it only burns the flux and it will go black in between the two metals stopping it flowing. Doug in Australia.

@Golgafrinchamdent 5 месяцев назад

Ha... didn't expect the Tombstone runthrough. My favorite western :)

@Mudsuitable 5 лет назад

I've used silver solder to replace front sight on old guns and joining hss shafts to carbide cutting inserts for odd mill/lathe jobs, if also used it for a few other jobs I'd never admit doing while nobody was lookin... The old "looks good from my house" kind of halfassery

@jonwilmot5331 7 лет назад

Thanks Bob. I do alot of small repairs and usually reach for the braze spelter. I do have silver solder in the drawer but was told not to use Flux with it. can you advise? Thanks from the U.K.

@wrdjr10gmail 5 лет назад

is very useful to know about such techniques it can get things back on line know all the processes including gas welding and soldering techniques

@triggeral 4 месяца назад

LOVE THIS! THANKYOU FOR EXPLAINING AND SHARING!!

@africancichlids3011 6 лет назад

do i need special paste for silver sodler i purchased some 75% hard wire/ but i only have regular flux will it be a waste of time and solder wire to attempt it without the proper paste?

@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin 5 лет назад

Not sure how I missed this one... A year ago!!! Hmm. You tube has been a bit sketchy with notifications.. Another great video Bob!! Thank you!!

@chrismadaj8751 2 года назад

My Dad used silver solder all the time and said it was a super strong weld he was a machinist like you said it flows really thin

2:25 is that a tombstone reference? Ha love it!

@gregvisioninfosoft 24 дня назад

for one desiring to try this, can you suggest a currently available flux and silver solder product? Thanks. My goal is to solder 1/16" thin steel, or stainless steel sheet. does the process work easier with mild steel or 304 or 316 ss material?

@rayrenzi4860 4 года назад

Great vid and informative,Thanks

@legalsolutions07 6 лет назад

Good video. Could u use silver solder and a propane torch to fix a small crack in a solid copper ground clamp?

@lloydsims1573 4 года назад

I saw the scoop get red hot. I've silver soldered a few things with propane, but unless I'm welding, the only time the parts get red is when I'm brazing.

@joesixpack7551 5 лет назад

Thanks! I need to repair the headlight rings on my 1930 Packard

@samiayyat4826 3 года назад

love the relationship. will watch for more vids.

@leonardpearlman4017 7 лет назад

Silver solder is great! There's all kinds of it. I've had trouble doing this on stainless, got it overheated or something, maybe didn't clean enough first. I'd love to see some close-ups of this while it's happening. Have had good results with blue or other (Tin Man Tech) lenses that take out the sodium flare so you can see better. Yeah, the number one thing about this stuff I think is working dissimilar metals, that comes up all the time!

@patw52pb1 7 лет назад

Using the correct flux and cleaning are important for a good joint. I have had good results on stainless using Harris Stay-Silv Black, it seems to remove the contaminates and oxides better than other fluxes and tolerates the higher temps required for getting a good bond on stainless. A coworker swears by MuggyWeld and to be fair his final product looks good and seems to hold together, but I do not have any firsthand experience. www.harrisproductsgroup.com/en/blog/2016/january/brazing-flux-101.aspx muggyweld.com/silver-solder-stainless-steel-washer

@leonardpearlman4017 7 лет назад

Hey, I tried the Black flux, it worked the first time! Looks funny in use, but when I washed it off the stainless looked like new. This is with Stay-Silv 45 and regular 304 stainless, and a big honking Harris air propane torch. Will try tomorrow with Oxygen. Thanks!

@patw52pb1 7 лет назад

Cool. You are welcome.

@tonytully931 7 лет назад

there is a place in my area called TM technologies. he specializes in torch work. lots of brazing, welding, and soldering materials

@ghffrsfygdhfjkjiysdz 5 лет назад

Great video. Here are couple additional details for the viewers: Soldering and brazing are essentially the same technique. The difference is the temperature. Above 830 degrees F it's brazing, below is soldering. The MAIN difference is that in brazing the surfaces are hot enough to burn off the oxides off, hence much less surface prep is required. In soldering the surface prep is very important, because metal does not get hot enough to burn off oxides and other gunk.Usually silver solder has up to 8% silver content, while brazing rod goes to 20%. In AC industry brazing is required for R410A systems, because they run at higher pressures.

@Darthbelal 2 года назад

Sweet video. Oh, and I caught the "Tombstone" reference....

@scottyglenwalker2345 11 месяцев назад

How would you recommend soldering a leg back onto a silver tea pot? I can see they tried repairing it with putty but since I told my partners mother in law I weld for a living she gave this to me to figure out lol lowes doesn't have much if a selection I got the spray on liquid flux and just regular electrical soldering wire

@enganear 2 года назад

Will silver solder be strong enough at temperature for automotive exhaust fittings, not at the manifold?

@mjsoup29 10 месяцев назад

Nice video and presentation- thank you!

@fortheearstohear7824 6 месяцев назад

Can you use Mapp gas to Silver Solder ? I have a small cast ring 2" dia. (China) dresser handle, would SS work that or maybe brazing it would be better?

@johndemore6402 8 месяцев назад

I've got a question please I'm replacing an evap system Air Suction pipe with copper PIPE and elbow I'm 99% sure I'd be okay with lead free silver solder but would leaded solder work as I believe gasoline eats lead so yeah any advice

@skiptracer8703 7 лет назад

You make it look so simple

@lenhofer3214 4 года назад

Hi Bob i use silver solder a lot an i love fixing things with it about as much as u do.... but i have something i need ur opinion on i have a small cavity on the deck of an N14 cummins engine where the head gasket seals a water gallery n that cavity is causing leaking issues .....would u b inclined to attempt heating that spot an letting some silver solder liquefy an pool in that cavity an then sand it level with the rest of the deck .........ur thoughts would be appreciated .....Len

@kylelaw7210 3 года назад

This might be a dumb question, but would a bernzomatic propane torch work for silver solder?

@WTFChuk 6 лет назад

Cool stuff! I do a fair bit of stainless steel brazing using the Harris Stay Silv blacl flux and 56% silver solder. Mainly I braze AN fitting ends onto stainless tubing for fuel and hydraulic apps. It works well, looks really nice, and makes clean, leak-proof joints that are as strong or stronger than the tubing. What more can you ask for? :-D

@jeffhall2958 4 года назад

Bob, nice demo for newbies. As I'm in an HVAC&R trade person, I would have to say your techniques are lacking concerning silver soldering/brazing. If I have the chance after this "Covid-19" scare goes away, perhaps a person such as myself can show you a different way of silver soldering, and properly. That metal should have never been "red-hot". Feathering a torch is an art, and takes practice. You heated that stainless entirely too hot. Just my 2ç.

@semperidem2577 11 месяцев назад

Nice to see you add in the homage to Tombstone in your banter.

@billsutherland7486 2 года назад

Will mapp gas provide enough heat to silver solder a cracked Stanley #5 hand plane, or should I buy a small oxy/acetylene outfit?

@broken1965 6 лет назад

Mention SS comes in preformed rings also map gas works great also to control heat. Use at work in production environment

@jdog4534 6 лет назад

What's the difference between this silver solder and silphos 15? Ive gone through pounds of of solphos 15. Sometimes ill go through a couple pounds of it in a day. It's what we use to join our medical grade copper pipe in hospitals and labs. We have to fill the cup 100% then I like to cap it off. Those 4"Ø and 6"Ø lines will just drink that stuff til they're full. Of course we keep a nitrogen purge going inside the pipe the whole time to displace the air so copper stays nice n shiny..

@jakelauriente4149 5 лет назад

Hi I’m new to all this and was wondering what is the strongest way to solder (silver-bronze) looks don’t matter just strength.

@martinparker6536 4 года назад

would this work on a crack in an cast iron engine block ?

@richardplatt2020 3 года назад

@Jack_Krauzers 3 года назад

it is possible to use cutting torch to braze?

@ScrewDriverxxx 7 лет назад

Thanks. Close up of the finished article would be nice...

@billy19461 5 лет назад

Love the video, hug 🤗 your son and tell him you love ❤️ him while you have the chance. Lost one of mine in a car accident, someone went to sleep and crossed the center line. I am a retired welder and I was wondering if a neutral flame would have made a difference?

@phiksit 4 года назад

Soft neutral flame with a small rosebud is best... imo. His fit up on that one tab was too big also. You need a tight fit up for capillary flow to happen.

@georgecurtis6463 2 года назад

Silver solder is sadly under rated. I used it for certain repairs on automobiles. Strong and clean.

@johnscahill3273 Год назад

well described thankyou

@artwhite351 7 лет назад

Can this be done using a MAPP torch.

@boramir7 5 лет назад

Really appreciated your instruction. Can you explain when to use regular solder and when to use silver solder?

@zeroumashi2947 2 года назад

what's shown in the video is considered brazing because the base metal was above 840°F. the difference between soldering and brazing is filler melting temperature, base metal temperature, and tensile strength. both soldering and brazing use capillary action but brazing filler can also be built up to fill gaps if needed. brazing works great for steel and similar metals, but not so much for copper. I prefer soldering with *silver bearing* solder over brazing when dealing with copper, the copper surrounding the braze joint will anneal and lose most of it's strength. I suggest soldering over brazing unless you're going to need lots and lots of tensile strength or are placing metals in very hot places like an oven.
