I have uploaded a video to youtube, sorry no talking as I'm working. You will see a couple of times I burn a hole, if ths happens, leave it move on to another bit and come back when its cooled. Hope you enjoy the video its just me working, doing what I do. Please excuse the singing and whistling, didn't know I was doing it! I'm making a roof vent, it's Peter Scholey's design aka justlead1 and some of you will know I have been doing justlead's work while peter is taking time out after a major operation.

I used to enjoy lead burning, bossing et-al.
Didn't do enough of it to become proficient but it does look good when done well.

Where I used to live, expanding foam and a fillet of mortar were the rule.
 
It 16 mins long and have upgraded account so I can have vids of more than 15mins but in the meantime my vid has disapeared.

Its now uploading again, I could swear but I won't steveb
 
I see you do the herring bone weld, I do the dished dots and use a size 3 nozzle on my portapak welder. Great post mate, will show some of the newbies what "real" plumbing is about. We were taught a great many disciplines like leadwork, cast iron, solder wiping and plumbing with no plastic and flexi pipes. Ah the good old days!
 
I enjoyed lead at college, have never done it since though so wouldn't be good enough to charge for my efforts!

Never seen a wiped joint done though!
 
Nice job that and you make it look so easy if you are in touch with Peter or his family please pass on our best wishes for a speedy recovery best regards turnpin

Excellent vid Ecowarm, nice looking slate piece/vent you've made up there.

Please also convey my regards to Peter and his family. I bet he's desperate to get back to work after being out for so long. Long terms away from work drives me nuts!
