I used the 'lugged bicycle construction book' and MAPP gas and made a lot of it up.
Googling MAPP gas and framebuilding just took be down a rabbit-warren of links and gets me wondering about a few things I could get done myself. If I understand well you'd use silver rod for lugged frames and it from reading it seems it's hard/impossible to get brass to flow. Would you use brass at all? perhaps in a fillet brazed frame, possibly finished with silver? or does it need to flow between the tubes there too?
Do we need a Framebuilding 'Ask any (stupid) question' thread?
