I'll do my best. Got a lot of money making projects going on simultaneously so CZcams has been bot been prioritised lately 😊

Thanks man. The torch is an old AGA X something. Not aware of its size. Could be smaller for sure but its great quality so I'll live. The nossles I use are 1mm (160L), 1.2mm (300L) and 1.5mm (500L) openings. Not sure what that equals in "size" or other makes.

Ohh yeah and its 1mm tip for the bottle cages probably. But any of them would be alright

Sif 101 bronze rod

It's a Proxxon. They make an aku battery one and then this on a cord. I can't recommend cordless. I have modified mine a lot and prefer this over any other I have tried as it's very silent compared to compressed air-ones and because it's super light. It's not very good quality as you'd expect from a hobby tool. But I've been able to to repair and keep mine going since 2014.

Phosphoric acid

Thanks man. I'll do my best to make time for them

Appreciate it 🙏

Thanks man. Lfgss is still my sacred space 🚀

Thank you very much. If brazing with bronze filler you'd need to get the tubing up to 870°c ish and I'd think that would be hard with mapp. I haven't tried. If you used silver you only need 550°c and that could be possible, but you need to practice a lot to be able to create fillets with silver without it running off the tubing. I've made a rack once using fillet pro (which is sort of like using silver) and my fillets were too small and the rack failed after a couple of years. So, I'd be careful not doing a front rack as the consequences are severe. I am considering doing rack workshops (and balance bike workshops) where you join me for a long weekend and bring your bike and then we makes some racks together. Haven't gotten around to doing the math yet, but would be a fun alternative to a framebuilding course I think.

That's super helpful, I think I'll hold off in that case as I haven't the space for a full oxy acet setup. A rack workshop sounds brilliant, I'll keep an eye out. Bottle cages look great by the way!@@hulsroy

@@TandemUK thanks man

Yes boss

Thank you ❤️

Thank you

They are coming I promise. I have part 3 shot already. But I am trying to launch this company of mine while also doing my best of being the dad I want to be.... so you are gonna have to be patient with me ❤️ But thanks for your kind words. They are the motivation I need.

Thanks man! I know it has been a long time coming. I got the footage for part 3 but haven't been able to find the time to get the editing done

T45 steel size 1.375"x0.065" from Proformance Metals I believe. ID is 31.7mm and I ream that to 31.8 gently if needed.

I just bought one last week actually. I have only done one stem a year previously so never felt the need, but now I have more stems to do it made sense to speed things up.

That because it is/was. Paragon Arbor and better hole saws on order.

@@hulsroy but does it matter anyway? Since I guess you could fix it with some filing? Or is it better to but straight and not worry about filing?

In this case the fit was good. Hardly had to use a file. But miter was also from a smaller tube to a larger tube which is more forgiving. The arbor was trued for a different holesaw and I have been waiting for a paragon Arbor for a while anyways. Will be good with a more steady cut

Thanks for your comment. I'd like to see your work if possible

That's a hard one to answer. One of my future videos will be drawing up a bicycle frame and forks in Rhino. That will give a view into my design process. The stem and rack is for Wit Slingers and there has been a lot of back and forth. I didn't keep track of the hours. I think I can make a stem in a day. Here I was filming and machining special bits which you could buy and save time.

Yes, also a very nice process to use. I used CuSi3 a lot and it's a great and forgiving material for a lot of applications.

Well, it looks bigger but it's less "hot". I back off on oxygen when doing silver instead of having a neutral flame. It's just something I have picked up along the way from somewhere. I can't remember the actual reason and there might be other ways of doing it but I works well for me.

@@hulsroy i dont think your flame is that neutral when your brazing either ,,, but most folk online dont braze with a true neutral flame , the guy who taught me to braze over 45 years ago would have a fit if he saw me with a flame like I often see .. try adjusting it a bit ans see how it goes

@@tomthompson7400 thanks for your comment. I feel confident I am using a neutral flame when brazing, but filming at the same time and that can obviously make things a tiny bit sloppy. I will make sure to check up on my process and maybe post a new video with more focus and close ups of the flame!

@@hulsroy try with just a Tad more oxygen and see ..even if it's only on a scrap piece...but unless it's a trick of the camera that's not a neutral flame at all .

@@tomthompson7400 well the footage is definitely not perfect in terms on conveying what I am experiencing, but there is always room for improvement so I will have a look at my process.

Tak! Lathe is an Emco 8 replica from China. TIG is a Migatronic Delta 160 DC

Helt perfekt. Tusind tak

Thanks Paul 💖

Thanks dude. Really appreciate the encouragement!

Thank you. Working on it already!!!
