Hi all,

I would lie if I say I’m not happy… here is the piece (fixed) that normally brakes in Kowa Six cameras.

Some photos showing the evolution.

How did you get a blob of steel on that sheared point without melting the entire lever?

That’s merit of the guy who did it, mine is only to shape the blob. Next time I pass by I will ask him the technique name he used.

Hi Alex,
My welding is not quite as neat as your mans, but seems to be holding ok. See how we go long term
