This video is about making a new stem and ring for a nineteenth century lock. I braze the steel parts with brass braze and I use silver solder to braze the brass "bit" to the steel tenon. This makes it easier as the melting point of the silver solder is lower. |

Very interesting Iv'e always had a fascination with old locks! I have to say though I was yelling for a while about the catching of that piece! :beer: |
