Old skool plumbing part 2 Leadwork lead burning/ welding

[ecowarm]

I have uploaded a video to youtube, sorry no talking as I'm working. You will see a couple of times I burn a hole, if ths happens, leave it move on to another bit and come back when its cooled. Hope you enjoy the video its just me working, doing what I do. Please excuse the singing and whistling, didn't know I was doing it! I'm making a roof vent, it's Peter Scholey's design aka justlead1 and some of you will know I have been doing justlead's work while peter is taking time out after a major operation.

I used to enjoy lead burning, bossing et-al.
Didn't do enough of it to become proficient but it does look good when done well.

Where I used to live, expanding foam and a fillet of mortar were the rule.

I see you do the herring bone weld, I do the dished dots and use a size 3 nozzle on my portapak welder. Great post mate, will show some of the newbies what "real" plumbing is about. We were taught a great many disciplines like leadwork, cast iron, solder wiping and plumbing with no plastic and flexi pipes. Ah the good old days!

I enjoyed lead at college, have never done it since though so wouldn't be good enough to charge for my efforts!

Never seen a wiped joint done though!
