1st time poster.
I am currently looking to butt weld or butt braze 10 gauge wire into lamp shade frames. I am not pleased with the outcome of the finished product I am currently brazing. I have purchased some frames from a company that supplies frames but they do not make the size I need.
QUESTIONs. Is brazing the best way to accomplish this task?
Can I get better results with a stick welder? (like something I can buy at Lowes or Grizzly?
If I can figure out how to post a photo here I can show you a pic of the current frame I have. It may of been done with a big spot welder?
It will be a production setting. The more I can make in a day the better. I do not have the funds to buy big equipment.
