Dh first soldering job

19 years ago

I was complaining about how hard I thought it was to solder and get the seams nice soooo being the slightly competitive couple that we are he decided to prove to me it wasn't that hard to do.

I cut out the butterfly and foiled it and he soldered it....I have to say girls his was way better then my first soldering job. BUT in my defense I also have to say he welds ( I haven't ever learned) and he has soldered parts before (which he says is very different.)

But anyhow...I think he did a great job and thought I'd show it off..give him nice compliments but don't make his head explode ok !!!! (LOL)

    Yes, I agree, that solder line across the wings looks very good! Great Job!

    VERY nice solder job. I think his experience with the welding and tack soldering gave him an advantage though..He really knows how to work with it!
    Looks like you did an excellent job on the glass cutting too!

    WHAT A TEAM. His work is superb. Yeah, if you don't like the soldering, put that boy to work REAL FAST. He REALLY has talent. Wish I could weld and solder, cuz I want to do some metal artsy things.

    When he gets home tonight I'll let him see all your nice comments. It will make him feel really good.

    slow-dh always said its not hard to learn to weld, take a class and next thing you know....whah lah you will be welding, I know you could do it!!!! I don't know how expensive it would be though for all the equipment though. Just a thought.

    Well tell DH i have a verrrry high regard for welders!I helped my DH build and weld a corral for our cows at our ranch,it was 100 in the shade in Aug we never do these things in the winter....anyway having that helmet and my glasses sliding around from the sweat and of course I wanted to get every little bead perfect the first time was the hardest thing i ever did.In fact after getting into an argument I finally told him do it yourself...of course that was 20years ago now nothing is worth argueing over LOL.Your hubby did a great job when mine retires I'm gonna get his help too.

    Well I can't weld or solder, but it sure looks like he did a really nice job on that for you. I'd encourage more of it for sure, lol

    Wow! you lucky girl!!!
    I really hate to solder, and that has kept me from making all the windows, I'm dying to have. If my hubby could solder
    like that, I'd have projects piled up for him! Give him a pat on the back, a big kiss, and another project!

    I don't know the first thing about solder or welding though dh can do both. I've never asked him to teach me how. I'd say yours did a SUPER job, so smooth! I agree, looks like a great team in the making!
