Thread: My neighbor is a welding genius!!

Most times when breaks like that get repaired it is with silver solder and not welding. While not a skilled welder, I do manage to stick things together, and feel that is an impressive job.

True, and that's probably what I would have used is Silver Solder. Some higer end brands can give you a tensile strength of over 50k psi which is in the range of Brazing. Employ a Jewelers Brazing Torch and you are all set. Even still, I don't think my end result would have been as good as what we see in this thread.

Nice looking fix.

I wonder if someone tried to straighten a bent tang.

Straightening is my guess as well. No damage from something like being dropped.

I finished up the scales on it and ran it through a bevel set and complete honing. Hoping to try it tomorrow. Hoping for no blood with that nasty looking point. I have never shaved with a point like that before.

Looks great. Fancy.

Like the rifle stock scales. The french and spike points always make me nervous also.

Nice save that came out looking good!

Shaved great!
