One of my favourite jobs when it's going well. I even used up the scraps to gain some brownie points when I was doing my step flashings. 

Never had the nerve to try lead welding, i have been soldering my joints and they are still 100% after six years. Hats of to you for getting in about it.

Nothing says "I love you Faye!" like lead poisoning! ?

I still lead weld using my dads old stuff - iron must be 60 years old at least ..?

 

Roofers wanted a whole roll of 900mm lead to finish a dormer peak and I pointed out the offcut they had left would cut and weld to size .... suffice to say I ended up doing it and they couldn’t work out how you couldn’t see the join..!
