OK Gents, the photograph of the great and outstanding silver solder tests with
7/32" dia 12L14 and 1018 steels can be seen at this site:

The angle of bend that caused failure can be determined by the foreground 1018
butt joint. This angle was about the same for all four tests. Vise jaws were
clamped about 1/4" from the joint and the rods were bent by hammering them to
cause the bends. All of the broken surfaces looked alike,and though lighting
causes some of them to appear different in the photo, rest assured that they
all had a coating of solder on both sides of the break.

Hi Jesse
Very interesting! When you say it "broke in the joint" do you mean that it
was the silver solder itself that suffered the tensile failure? i.e. was
there silver solder visible on both halves of the fractured joint?
