Did you ever do the video on a way to speed up this process? If so, can you give me the name or URL so I can find it -- pretty please. Do you also give out the template, maybe by email in PDF?

No video yet, but I can tell you how to do it. Go to my website - url at the end of each video.  Email me and I'll Explain.

Realy enjoy your videos. I was wondering about the torch set that comes with two small tanks from Harbor Frieght, do you think their the tanks are big enough. Thanks

[897473]

Thanks for your comment. If you are thinking of primarily annealing, then the small tanks may be adequate. If you are going to be doing a lot of brazing or welding than it becomes more a question of your regulator settings, tip size that you are using and how much you will be using the torch.

Years ago I had the same question and got an answer somewhat like the above. I wanted something definitive. But the bottom line on cylinders is what you are using your torch for and for how long.

Interest & dimension .thanks for sharing .nice technique

[897473]

Yes,it is good technique. The only problem is that it is rather slow.  There is a way to speed up the process and I'll do a video on that soon.

Nice talent sir! Thank you for sharing this!

[Catherine Franz]

I went to your website. I don't do brazing, somewhat far away from that process yet. Okay will look for your email.

by chance, did you come to sell your work in Wichita Falls, Texas 30 or more years ago. I think my mother has some of your work?

[Jennifer Hooks]

Very lovely! Your improvisations are inspiring and prove that there's more than one way to reach an end goal, especially when motivated by loss and love. Thanks for sharing.

Yes, they do look like lips.
