Cassave, Thanks for the best thread ever. Beautiful work.
Thanks and so far it seems people are enjoying it.Originally Posted by velomateo
I'm building it up in the next day or so, so I'll probably
have the classic white garage door shots up on Monday at the latest.
Are you going to build that too?
Excellent pictures.
Ok, I'm taking notes for when I have my custom frame built, you've just created pretty much my ideal ride. Just enough stainless, perfect color, geometry, and it's even my size!
Man oh man! When this thread is finished with completed build shots, I'm downloading each and every photo from it so it can keep amazing me well into the future!

These are actually two very different types of welding.
When using a paste flux in this type of welding, the paste is applied to both sides of the metal to be joined (think of sweat soldering copper water pipes) the filler material is wicked into the weld joint thru capillary action. This is why when you look at the pictures of the welded joints you only see a very thin line of the filler material.
When you use a inline fluxer, the only area cleaned by the flux is the area contacted by the flame. This allows for a very precise weld bead. It looks like a tig weld. This would be inappropriate for welding a lugged frame. If you want to weld a fillet welded frame, a inline fluxer would work great.
