"Bent Bur" to fill in your small holes in metal.

  In 1970 A.D. I was taught a very simple technique and that is to fill in a hole in the metal without soldering. This is so easy I'd like to show it to you all NOW.

================================================

 Get an old worn bur that is ready to be recycled, but don't do that. Put that bur against your lighted torch and soften the steel to 100% RED HOT. 

 Let it cool down and get a pair of pliers or even a hammer and bend it to a shape as shown in the photos.

 Once the burned steel is now soft, you can now file the tip, so one part of the tip is at a 45-degree angle. That will be your new "metal moving hammer". The face of the bent bur will be polished to a high sheen. If you lose it, just make another one for a spare!

 What will this rotating tip do to the hole? The rotating bur will actually "move the top layer of metal" towards and over the hole. The hole is now covered, wasn't that easy?

 Here are the photos to guide you!

Imagine that this was once a nearly discarded bur. We gave it a "new lease on life".
