Jim sez:
"You could use electronic solder with rosin core, if you
clean up the brass with steel wool first."

If it's all the same with you, I would rather use digital solder.

I want to take a 1/2 inch square of brass, say .020 thick, and solder it
to
the end of a 1/8 inch brass rod. (The plane of the square piece is
perpendicular to the axis of the rod.) Would you be so kind as to
recommend
solder and flux? I would like to get a small tip and use my
oxy-acetylene
torch. Does that sound right? Recommendations welcome.

No, don't use a torch for this. Practically the smallest
soldering iron sold will do this job. A weller 100/140 watt
solder gun is plenty.

If you have
any trouble with the mild rosin working, simply put a
tiny amount of plumbers ZnCl paste flux on the joint.
