Brazing/silver soldering

Beginners kit

[Al DunnParticipant @aldunn62506]

Hello all. I would like to learn to braze/silver solder for small projects. For example I have the basic steam engine kit as sold by Forest Classics to practise on. Ideally I would like a complete beginners kit containing everything I need and preferably with good instructions. I have seen kits that contain a torch, flux, solder, pickle and heat bricks but they appear to be for jewellery work. Does anyone know of such a kit?

many thanks.

I have one of the sets you talk about for jewelry and they are fabulous for small work like silver soldering pipes and ferrules etc but for larger work give Cupalloys a call and they can sell all you need and give you some tips as well.

Thanks for the referral David. Al it is something we are considering, offering starter 'packages'. If you would like to contact us we would put something together for you. Cheers, Shaun@cupalloys.co.uk

Thanks for the replies. I will probably try one of the sets mentioned first because most of what I will be doing is small scale and no often.
