The first day at the frame building course 101

On the first day we got to start brazing and Tig welding with in 45 min to a hour. I started on the brazing torch learning how to light it and how to us it. Our first task was melting the brazing rod and stacking little drops on top of each other it was hard but i did it. The next task was brazing two pieces of metal together with nickel silver rod it was easier than the stacking part the nickel silver flows around the metal like water when heated to a high temp makes the weld really strong  you will not pull that apart. Next we got to use the Tig welder the first thing we learned was to make a nice bead and o-man that was hard it took me about a hour to learn to do and after we had to try to weld two flat pieces of metal to getter that was hard to bit i figured it out that will not brake very easy.
