I've been trying to braze brass handles to brass plates using silver solder and it was a nightmare. I used 55% silver solder in thin wire format and the powdered flux. Then I spread the flux throughout the joint heated the brass up until glowing red and then applied the solder.

But all that happened was that it beaded and fell off - nothing crept into the joint. The heat caused the copper in the brass to leech out to the surface so it looked a real mess.

In the end I used JB Weld!!! What did I do wrong?

Best wishes,

Nick

I recently bought a Sealey SM27 lathe and was looking around the web to see what other people are doing with their lathes. I found a YouTube video showing one guy actually friction welding two metal rods together using a lathe! if it is of interest to anyone here's the link:
