I tried it but gave up. Walt Conner I have welded many blades for my grandfather's friends. Here is what I do in our shop. First of all I ignore the comments directed to my youth by Grandpa's friends. I use a simple set up - an Oxy/MAPP to torch to do the brazing. I grind a bevel on both of the edges to make a good lap joint. I use jig that I made that has a cut out flange in the middle to hold everything nice and tight and straight. I then use c clamps to put the joint over the cut out. It is not too hard to judge the overlap. A good overlap will cut down on the amount of grinding you might have to do. I then just braze the blade together. I finish it off by annealing the blade. None of my welds have failed, the blades have come back broken in other places. Take Care, Xopher |
