Thanks to you all
boys.
I have got many
solutions for “welding”, and I am thinking and reading. No
solution is made yet.
Attached is a
picture of what I have to made min 33 of before Christmas
this year.
It is 15 cm long.
All metal is 2 mm
galvanized rod. To made a 1 mm hole is not complicated,
just it take time.
To make a 1 mm tap
is very easy, I have a clockmaker lathe and good cutting
tool.
?
To info: this is a
“Ratt-kjelke” , it is Norwegian word for “steering wheel
sled”
Very popular 70+
years ago.
However, not made
for snow, only ice! You see it has a
brake.
Terrible toy for
children, ?now I think it is forbidden, maybe you can find
it in a museum of horror.

"you might want to look into resistance
soldering. It runs a current through the metal and the
heat is very concentrated to just the point being
soldered. . . . Not cheap by soldering standards"
I'm wondering, could you use a
soldering gun for this?? They essentially use the same
method. There's a transformer inside the handle that turns
the 110 v. current into low voltage, high amperage current
that runs through the copper tip and heats it.?
So you could connect two cables where
the tip connects and attach their other ends to the
work. That would run the high amperage current through
the joint. The cables would have to be fairly heavy so
they wouldn't get hot themselves, but I don't know how
heavy. (Perhaps speaker cable would work here. It's
heavy gauge supposedly for the best sound quality).
I use a Weller soldering gun (the
same one I've used since getting it for Christmas at age
12, so they're pretty durable!)? That's 100 Watts. I
don't know the wattage you need for resistance
soldering, but if a single soldering gun weren't enough,
you could hook up several.

If soldering is an option
strengthwise, but the issue is heat, then you might

popular with model railroaders working with small
delicate pieces. Not cheap by soldering standards but
cheap compared to welders. If you look around there
are also some DIY articles.
