the brazing went well, better than i expected. My little jig worked great (minus the wood idea, retarded i know) and i really didn’t have that much clean up to do. I choose 56% silver for the job and TJ cautioned that since i’d be working with the fork blades and stays that i watch my temperature, which was a little hard considering the size of the torch tip but overall it worked quite well.
fluxed and ready

the wood idea did work but was quickly abandoned
ready for some clean up
