[python] Re: brazing

Mine is brazed with an oxy/propane set and ordinary "brass" rods. I made 
enforcement plates for the tubebends and for the BB (I boxed it in 
litterally). The pivotshell is surrounded by the front tubes. It seems to 
hold up nicely.

Subject: [python] brazing




Wild ideas strike me while on my actionbent recumbent.

What are the pros and cons of lashing up the frame of a python with 

clean steel wire?

In some wood structures ...... I've made very strong permanent joints 

with multiple turns of fine braided nylon cord all embedded in epoxy.

So what about the same principle for metal?

After appropriate preparation fix the surfaces to be joined with many 

tight turns of wire then flow he brazing metal into the strands of wire.

Tho oxy-acetylene is optimal for brazing the garage constructor might 

find the high temp bottled gas OK and a whole lot cheaper than all the 

gear needed for O-A brazing.

The wire might also be used to avoid having to make elaborate jigs to 

hols all in place while welding or brazing.

I toss this up without having any direct experience.

Warmest regards to all who make pythons,

Brian in SC USA
