trying-it Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Real nice vid, thanks! Have a feeling abridged translation would be something like, "If it was easy everyone could do it"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

781 Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 A very nice finnished piece that must of taken several days to finish Wonder why he wieghed it at the end to see how much material was used to calculate the price. In the vid he was tinning a pot but that was not the large finished piece. Also he soldered on what appeared to be a handle as it was not a foot as the vessel did not sit flat on the scale. He was using this in the planishing process was that to pour material out when the food was cooked. If you tinned the finnished piece would you need higher temp solder to do the seams and handle he soldered in the manufacturing. Also too bad I dont undrstand German Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattBower Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I thought the soldered-on handle was just something to hold onto while he worked. When he joined the ends of his blank to make the tube, and then again when he fastened on the bottom: it looked like he brazed the with a paste of copper filings and borax. Did I see that right? I've heard of brazing silver using silver filings, so I assume you could do it with copper as well. But it sure sounds tricky -- a lot more so than he made it look!

CTBlacksmith Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Great video. I love seeing the shops from other countries and how they have everything set up. The foot he soldered on in the end was actually just a handle for planishing the vessel. And i think that he used brass filings mixed with borax as the solder/flux solution. So really he was just brazing the seams together. As for tinning the pot the solder used would be more than enough to hold together while tinning. Tin melts somewhere around 400 deg. i think so the brazed seam would be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianswelding Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Really impressed with the way he fit the bottom onto that thing. Old man really knows what he's doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Roy Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Too bad I only know enough German to order a bier. I'd like to know more about his techniques in detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fe-Wood Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Great video!!! Having had copper plumbing joints fail. I've always cleaned my copper to a compulsive level when joining and tinning. He seemed to get away with oxidation on his joints. I wonder what was mixed with the Borax? And what did he put on the outside of the bowl he tinned? I'm assuming the filler was a lower melting temp alloy of copper. Boy, I wish I spoke German or had a German friend to translate.....
