Today’s off-topic welding project:
I put a feather back on my wife’s tin peacock. This is THIN! ….just Half a Millimeter.
I use the Victor 000 tip, but my regulators are the Victor Super-range regulators, and they’re not the finest ones for this light work.
I torch whipped it to within an inch of its life. With 1/16” E70xx
After some burnishing.
I shaved it with a Dremel & shot a little clearcoat on it so it wouldn’t rust immediately.
I cleaned the little glass ornament with Barkeepers Friend, which really knocks off water stains.
