Stainless Steel Baby

Hub · 12-11-2003, 06:21 PM

The band is cut off, the barrel shortened to the desired length, the band is bored out and lightly pressed back on. A fixture was made to keep everthing in alignment while pressing. The band and barrel are tig welded at the crown area and then the crown cut with a form tool. Silver solder sometimes leaves a mess to clean up and may not take the finish. Same thing is done on the non stainless babies. All my secrets are out.
