Day 3 - Braze braze braze

On the third day we finally get a reprieve with the weather.  With temps in the triple digits last weekend we had a nice little nip in the air bringing temperatures down to the mid nineties which made the temperature perfect in the shop. 

Today we have to braze all the lugs we tacked with exception of one, the seatpost lug.  That is a tough braze and we need to have everything else done before hitting that.

Because the need for our braze to get all the way into the joint and under each lug we used silver on these sections.  Silver is tons more expensive than brass but it's easier for us novices to use so Tim has us use silver on most of the frame.
