I had to make a trans sprocket nut socket to move forward with the shovelhead build. I can't believe this is the first time I've ventured into the world of silicon bronze tig rod. I bought some low fuming bronze rod thinking it was the same stuff a while ago... yeah, try tig welding with that stuff. Thanks to Jake C. for the tips.
Nice, just did one of those yesterday! First pic in the post below, on the cart. You'rs came out alot nicer than mine though. Nice work Jay.
ReplyDeleteDAMN. That's nice. Looks like I'll have to play with some of that too...
ReplyDeletewhy did you need to use SB rod?
ReplyDeleteYou can use the same rod to TIG copper, can't you?
ReplyDeletei didn't need to use SB rod, just chose to give it a whirl on this particular project. It looks cool though, right?
ReplyDeleteYou can use SB to tig a ton of different/dissimilar metals, including copper. Talk about heat sink, copper is crazy.
I love welding with that stuff.
ReplyDeleteI use Stainless Steel rod on almost everything now.
Cheers!
