I can fix you up man. I live in St Helens, but have buddies in that neck of the woods I could probably have meet you, and get the thing. I wouldnt charge anything to do it so long as you arent in a rush. I am proficient at brazing, and could even mock everything up, and have my buddy tig it for ya.

I am not the best welder in the world, but I am well enough, and clean up my work and have standards for what I send to my customers.


This was the last scaler I build a couple years ago. Not many pics, but you get a very small idea of what I can do.

Scale Hybrid


I also have some nice DOM tubing stock on my bench. That stuff is super tough, and welds way nicer than brake line.


PM me if you are interested

It's not difficult to keep work looking nice. Now I don't weld (Tig,Mig, etc.) so I can't criticize anybody's weld jobs, but I have just recently started brazing with safety-silv. Keep in mind I have never brazed before, let alone fabricated anything out of steel, and this is what I ended up with on my first two projects.






It just takes a little time, practice and patience. Give a try and then you won't have to worry about shoddy work.

Cool, thanks for the info. I must still be using crap silver solder.....I can't make it work for crap.

Yes, I have many hours with gas & stick welding as well as 2 part gas brazing.

Sigh.

As stated, you did good there.
