How to make a brazed copper leaf art sculpture and much more! How to Become a Welder! Ep#5

This video is the forth video in a brand new welding series called
"How to Become a Welder" and explains everything you need to know to create your very own brazed copper leaf art sculpture! This video builds off of the brazing and gas welding equipment skills that have been shown in the previous 2 videos in order to make a brazing project. I discuss every little detail including oxidizing flames, template creation, filing, copper sheet cutting using a welding tip, sanding/wire wheel surface prep, fluting, copper annealing, proportions, drawing a 1:1 ratio working drawing, methods of bending round bar, jig making, coloring copper with the torch, finishing, and much more.
