A nineteeth centuary key repair.
« on: May 14, 2020, 01:12:21 PM »
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.
