Fireplace repair project for a colleague

[kenny_k]

As you can see, the end of the fireplace is damaged. It had to be rebuilt. In accordance with the original. With hard soldering of the rebuilt parts and sanding of the solders. Repair time about four evenings. The result came out quite positively.
You can judge the end result for yourself.

Hello,
yes, copper, tombak, brass and nickel silver braze well with tin. A jeweler, a goldsmith, a sanitary fitter or even a roofer-zinger can do the job.
Bravo, fine work.

Perhaps I can correct, unfortunately the repair was not done with soft soldering (tin plus lead, working temperature around 368 °C). Only brazing (silver, copper, zinc, working temperature around 700 °C).

You want your colleagues to go broke. Here's just some of what there is to repair. Not counting all the brass parts. The example in the photo for repairing the fireplace.

Here is an example of repairing the entire helmet. The helmet was first disassembled into parts, which were formed on a wooden mold. The undercoat was made with rabbit glue. The varnish was matched to the original. The varnish was given an aged finish. Threads selected in accordance with the original.
Unfortunately, I cannot complete the project I am missing the knopf 91 with stars or cannons.
