Before, during, after, and done.
I’m in the middle of building a JKS for Andy and thought I’d show you a progression of how a single lugged joint moves down the line.
The first photo shows the lug all covered in yummy flux and ready to be tacked. The tubes and lugs are being held by the jig in the proper orientation.
The second photo shows the joint still hot after being brazed. It’s covered with the now hard and glassy flux. The flux will be removed by soaking in very hot water.
The third photo shows what the joint looks like after it’s had it’s bath.
The last photo shows the lug after it’s been cleaned and made ready for JB to work his paint magic on.
Tomorrow I add the rear end to this frame and it starts looking bike-like.
later,
Dave
