DESCRIPTION:Forge brazing with copper\n\nGil introduced us to a simple wa
 y to weld different material together where heavy duty strength is not r
 equired. The process is actually very simple\, whether you are doing lap
  joints\, finger joints or more complicated joints. Using copper electri
 cal wire (14/2\, 12/2\, etc.) and borax flux\, you secure the joints tog
 ether using regular wire to keep the pieces stable while you wrap a piec
 e of the copper wire around the work piece -the tighter the pieces can b
 e secured first\, the better. Then add flux\, get the iron orange hot an
 d when the copper seems to disappear\, the weld has taken place - in mos
 t cases! Very slick and something several of us never saw demonstrated b
 efore. Good presentation\, and Gil's mechanical drawing class style sket
 ches were very accurate and damn good! REMINDER\, OUR SEPTEMBER MEETING 
 WILL BE AT JOE MERLI'S CANAL STREET STATION ON RTE. 20 IN DUANESBURG. SE
 E THE WRITE UP AND OUR WEBSITE DIRECTIONS TO IT.
