Having now had the time to examine what I'd achieved with the hot cap. I was feeling very pleased with meself. :D I had only ever silver soldered two small joints before. It just goes to show, if enough notice is taken of techniques shown on here, the beginner can produce some very satisfactory work. :thumbup: Displacer time! The cap bore is 1.4". I cut some steel sheet .020" thick, and wrapped it around a 1.25" ali bar. Ground the inner overlap to a feather edge, and strapped it tight. Then turned the outer feather edge. Moving the pie clip section by section....... Swapped the clip for some stout wire, and fluxed........ Then silver soldered........ Just a nice line showing in the bore........ Cleaned up nicely......... I think that will do nicely........ A busy few days ahead, including Harrogate. End caps next. As, and when....... Thanks for watching! :) David D |
