I spent a bit of my Saturday brazing the deck of the rack for the 1x1...
It turned out about as good as expected. I'm not sure of how strong it is, but there is brass in all the joints and it feels solid. I think I'm still getting the joints too hot since I'm burning the flux. But in the end, it all cleaned up fairly well...
I also made some changes to the rack jig so it's a bit more adjustable. This is a work-in-progress and I'm sure the rack jig will change throughout its life. In its current form it should be able to hold any supports/mounts that I'm planning for the 1x1 rack. There are two more components I'll be adding to the deck... a brace for the butt joint at the front of the deck, and a light mount for the rear. Then it'll be ready for the supports that run to the frame.
