Spot welding brass
In full compliance with Murphy's Law I just tried to unscrew a brass (might be bronze - how do you tell?) shaft from a tripod and twisted the top third off. My options look like either 1 - make a new piece from scratch, or 2 - hold the top and bottom tightly together (very clean break, about 3/8" diameter contact area) and zap it with a spot welder. Option 2 is much less work. Any comments on whether this would work? Thanks. Steve. |
