Warning: I am not a paid actor, nor am I an expert at anything.

That said, I made a little demo video this afternoon to share with you all..

Up until 2 weeks ago I had never soldered brass.. but I did want to try so when Harry posted his ‘build along’ thread I decided to give it a go.
I’ve already completed two chassis that seem to have come out OK. Now that I know how easy and rewarding it is, I’ll be doing it more often,
so I ordered a ceramic tile and some pins to make the process a bit easier.

I just got those items in the mail today, so I decided to solder a PM motor mount to a couple frame rails to show how easy it is to solder brass.

Please pardon the unscripted babbling, and my hitting the camera making it sway back and forth for a while..
This was a one take affair LOL. Hopefully someone will find it helpful~



Here are a few ‘after’ shots so you can see how the part cleaned up after I stopped recording..
It’s a pretty easy process to prep, solder and clean..

Outstanding. Just outstanding, well done and thank you for taking the time an effort.

This is another keeper.

great video Kev! i use finishing nails from my nail gun for pins saves some money just an fyi :) welcome to the party!

nice job Kevin, how you like those tapered pins? I only wish they were stainless so they would not solder to the chassis.
BTW ... another use for that BLEACH-WHITE tire cleaner, it ill eat that flux residue and makes clean up much easier.

Nice video. Really enjoyed the Dremel sound.

Nice job Kev....Now I can give it a go....
Fred

wow zzzzzzzzz I zzzzzzzz missed zzzzzzzzzz that lol

great video and thanks for sharing. I need to try my hand at it really soon. I am in two of these races now and haven't started either.

Great tutorial, I was using the nailgun pins until I saw and ordered those tapered pins, they are the real deal. Thanks man.

Kev, take that acid brush and trim some of those bristles off, a lot easier to work with...I use a trimed back acid brush to clean up spray guns....
Plus a toothpick works good for little dabs of flux, even liquid acid flux...Nice video.....

Looking for those tapered pins on Ebay ???
Please help.
Thanks

just google..... pins for ceramic soldering block

Love it Kev, great video and thanks for sharing., I will clean up my work a and post it.
