Welding
A few weeks ago I posted "fillets". Now I will enter welds.
I like all forms of joinery and also really like having the ability to do all of them. TIG welding has lots of uses and one of them is speed. Not many will deny that TIG welding was introduced into the bicycle manufacturing world to speed things up a bit. Once the lug was not as common it was easier to TIG weld a bicycle than use fillets and spend time with finish work. I like that TIG welding just puts your work out there for the people to see.
Here is Brian's bike after welding just before I brazed the drop outs and the seat tube sleeve:
Tomorrow I will finish the bike and get started on Jeff's road bike.
Cheers,
Drew
