I'm sure you all do not use the same tube brazing sequence with your builds, just how do you do it and why? I am primarialy interested in lug and fillet brazing steel sequences, but how is it different with say TIG and aluminum?

From the Frame jigs and tools thread:

Cassave "I generally use Unters assembly method as well, DT+HT, ST+BB shell, braze the DT to BB shell joint then add the top tube. No locked stresses and an easy coldset before the TT goes on if required. Then add the rear end."

This is the type of info I'm hoping will be posted; I never considered cold setting before the main triangle was finished.

I've read Paterek but thats about it. And this with Mr Tanabe brazing the BB last in the main triangle sequence, http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=0AMfK1OS_mc
which I think is a great example of heating the bb.
