<Tongue-in-Cheek>...trimmed...
please tell me of this wood welding...
i can join steel to copper
i can braze just about anything bronze or silver will stick to
i can weld steel and aluminum in all 4 positions in 3 different processes (2 processes for aluminum)
but for the life of me i can't figure how you melt parent wood and add filler wood and have the resulting amalgamation be stronger than the parent wood???
can you weld wood SMAW(arc), or is GTAW(tig) the process of choice???
can you use Cherry filler rod on Rosewood? or is Persimmon a better rod
how many amps do you run .045" Mahogany GMAW(mig) at anyway???
i'd love to try to FCAW(flux core) some apitong, it taps like it is metal, so it must take flux core
Hey MetalHead! It's called Glue. <BIG-GRIN> Comes in quite a variety. Unless it's be outlawed in CA. No electricity required unless you're heating up your own mixture of hide glue.
Then for the gouges and such there the Filler Rod material...
I dinked around with clear epoxy and some brass chips to create some filler for a Tool Maker's box. Had some heavy gouges on the top. If I ever get it unpack I'll have to see how it aged.
