Thanks! I'm a welder and mostly weld stainless steel with Tig. Now I have a problem with some roofing in my gutter. I'm going to go and give this a try! Thank you very much for sharing!

I was always taught to stitch it from the bottom up without a rod for vertical welding. In all the years I've welded ive never tried welding top to bottom - I will have to have a go thanks for sharing.

Videos like this will benefit so many up and coming roofers careers. Myself included, thank you for this!

Nice video good technique, i where ever possible used to arranged the lead so i came down on an angle which made it easier even though we were taught to start at the bottom

Thanks Stu. Nice to see the setup up and also explained in detail how it all works.

From someone trying to get to grips with the dark art, very neat work and really informative Stu. Thanks for taking the time to create and post it.

Fair play to you for taking the time to get on and make the video you said you would, and excellent as ever 👏

Takes me back to my plumbing days, when us plumbers did lead work, very tidy Stu, getting that flame spot on is an art. 👍

Cheers Stuart, really helpful and informative 👍

I Do the same - work down first (work with gravity) and then finesse going back up. Love your content.

Great video as always. Really helpful as I'm currently trying to teach myself to lead weld, thanks.

thanks for showing how to set up and weld, i am going to have a go, you make it look easy stu

I'm learning a lot from these videos.

Great video mate ! Fantastic tips

Excellent video so helpful it might improve my vertical welding 👍

You make it look so easy

Exellent video mate once again 👍👊

Cheers for the rig setup

Interesting to see set up.

Really good video. Thanks 👍

Really interesting video stuart .i suppose getting the setting right on the gun is the key thanks for showing us

Ideal thanks the only problem is you make it look so easy

Great work 👍 It would be nice to see you weld some new and old lead maybe a repair type of scenario.

My last comment, your video is the most imformative lead welding video that I have seen, other videos that I have seen are no where as imformative as yours, could also suggest that some of the people making other videos don't know sh#t from clay when it comes to lead welding.

Top stuff again,Adams gas is rent free I've swapped acetylene for polypropylene, that burns sweet with proper nozzle.

Finally the algorithm caught up with me and I got the video I was asking for. Really well done. Would have liked a close up of the finished seam and also to see what you do with the stick in terms of motion ie side to side, circular or just dabbing? Do you not need tinted goggles for lead unlike steel? I know you mentioned goggles but I thought you meant safety ones. There’s a plethora of bricklaying videos etc. But you, my man, are unique!

Good job sir

An interesting method for doing a verticle weld. Have you tried to use the side of the lead lap to make the weld instead of the lead filler rod, you may find it a lot easier and quicker. Can I suggest that you use a length of about 3mm inside diameter flexible hose about 1metre long to attach to your oxy/actylene hand piece and the blow pipe, it will give you more flexibilty and is a lot lighter if you are required to do a 10 - 15 metre continious verticle weld as I have had to do many times - it also makes it easier when you are welding verticle seams using up to 10mm thick (100kg/m2 ) lead. The flexible hose makes it a lot easier if you are required to do any over head welding. Can I also suggest that you obtain and use a rubber dresser instead of the wooden dresser, it is more efficient and does not bruise the lead - by trade I am/was a Lead Burner (Lead Welder) for thirty five years and worked in an acid manufacturing lead chamber plant, - you learn how to be very skilled and effecient when welding lead.

As usual ,a great educational video. I’ve been trying to perfect my welding for many years and I still struggle, especially on the vertical. Tbh I won’t even attempt for fear of burning through. I always go up on the angle. I’ve never really known what I should have my bottles set at so that’s the first thing I’ll be taking a closer look at. So thanks for that tip on setting the pressure. And I’ve always used a No. 2 nozzle. D’ya think I would fare better using a No. 3? I tend to think bigger nozzle, bigger flame and therefore less control. And on the videos it appears the flame is feathered. Am I supposed to get the flame to be a tiny white/blue dot with no feathered flame. That’s how I’ve always thought what I’m supposed to be doing. Just one random one here: do you weld your tapered wood roll ends or dress them? I dress them since my bossing is better than my welding but my dad always used to weld them.

How do we get in touch with you for future projects you do beautiful work keep it up this is a great Chanel you got going here. Cheers mate.

Nice neat work, do you live next to the sea by any chance?

Great video you mentioned where you got the model o gun but where did you get the regulators from cheers

10:40… the sound of Brighton

I’m actually itching to get on site and try replicate what I’ve learned from this video.

you need to get an old paper cutting guillotine at car boot for cutting your filler rods it saves a lot of wear and tear on your hands its what i have used for 40+ years

Can you show us how to make 110mm lead slate for a pitched roof.

Flux is your friend when working with lead

Stu for what its worth I have just moved over to Hobby weld gas supplier because BOC cylinder rental cost have gone through the roof. With Hobby Weld you pay a one off deposit which is refunded if/when you stop using them, after that you just pay for refills.

your audio breaks my heart 😆

Lead melts at c.a 620c - Map gas generates c.a 2k ' c... or 1200 on a bad day out - so what's the technical reasons Map gas isn't used for lead welding? Genuine question, I have no clue as to the answer as I have never welded lead - but I do weld a lot of other stuff for a living. Why not use Map? :-) Educate me & forever have gratitudes. :-)

You need to improve the audio quality.

That weld isn’t strong though. That’s why you should weld upwards instead of downwards

Did you know you can weld with water ?

Please get away from boc, They are a ripoff Hobbyweld all day long.
