Seems like it may have not extinguished leaving a tiny flame burning, faulty shut off valve on the handle, may just need cleaning, could just be loose fittings or my need a service kit, probably just...

Interesting I did not find that when I googled it, may a good case for the old fashioned Hide glue.

Yep, that way you keep the heat low, I used easy on a large belt buckle, Brass back and Silver face (For my kilt) that was in 2019 it worked very well and is as solid as the day I made it.

As said above, plus be careful not to overheat the Brass it will bring Zinc to the surface and contaminated the join, causing it to fail.

I hope that was meant to be 30c Dennis, all jokes aside must be a big shock, I'm used to it down here just turn on the Aircon, I visit a town called Andamooka often about 700 ks from Adelaide...

I did not intend to start a Political discussion it was more of a general strange proposal

I've heard that Boris intends to convert the UK back to imperial measurement, is he a roof short of a tile?

Thanks for the Video, I think it is pretty much the standard method these days, only difference when I twist wire is I use a cordless drill

Sounds as though, you have your pressure set too high, if you are using gauges that came with a Oxy welding cutting kit, they are most likely not suitable they will not provide low enough pressure...

Interesting I used double hook tongs on my draw bench there are time when I need to hold them closed I am thinking of coming up with a manual clamp and doing away with the tongs.

I see that yours is the single hook version, do you have the physically hold the tongs closed ?

I am also fortunate that I have no need to make a living from what I make. although in the days when I had to earn a crust I must have made thousands of cutting boards, because they sold quicker than...
