    I tried your technique today Blake.

    My V-tool is a brass job, lubed up with beeswax.


    Using 34mm tube, I kept getting devit either side of the notch. Maybe I was working it for too long.

    I also found it difficult to rotate a large tube in this hand and a small tube in that hand. Well not difficult, I mean it was difficult to keep the smaller tube on centre and make a good weld.

    Reason being both ends are open so I can't blow in to perfect the weld.

    Sounds like a good way to work though and I can see where you're coming from.

    It ain't where you're from, it's where you're at.
