    I want to make one
    I was thinking about the same thing a while back. I used to use one on a regular basis for English formula car repairs and it is the only way to go for good quality brazing joints.

    I don't know what your application is, but for British race cars, many of them use SifBronze #2, or 101. You can source this from the UK. Just Google Sifbronze and you should be able to find the rod in various sizes. The Ariel Atom built in the UK still uses bronze welding. There are a few videos on YouTube of one of their artisans using the process...Brian Ashcroft.


    I think he uses the SifBronze 101.


    Good luck.

    Good Luck... Have you checked how much the unit costs from the company that already has done the engineering already?

    This is probably a dumb question, but when you braze with Silicone Bronze, are you using AC or DC tig.
