I prefer the old fashioned welding method of Brazing. I was really good at it 20 years ago. In doing that a 3rd and sometimes a 4th hand is needed to get smaller projects held in just the right spot to braze. So I was sitting here today thinking I need a couple articulating holders. Tomorrow I am off to the local Habitat and a few other rehab places in town looking for devices I can turn into those holders. I am all about saving a buck. Will let you know how the search goes and if I find what I need I will pic and put in here the process I used with end result. I have been working with wife making metal art projects and she never really knew the idea of brazing, she uses a Hypotherm 30xp Plas and Millermatic 211 welder. Now that she has seen the diff colors at joints, she understands why I tell her that on her birds the Bronze colored metal would be great to put the wings together with.
