Must you WELD them together? There are many "silver solders" that melt
well below the melting point of most brasses. They can produce pretty
strong joints. If the parts weigh only a few ounces, you might get away
with a propane bottle torch (hardware store variety) and some low temp
silver solder. You will, of course need flux and a way to clean the
surfaces to be joined very well.
You should google "silver soldering" and look around. You will find
plenty of info.


Ok thanks, I'll look that up! no need for actuall welding... i am working on
some steampunk
models, so i will need some method to join some pieces together..

thank you all for your answers!


Oh good lord the steampunkers have found RCM, you guys thought the
spammers were bad ...


Hey, what're you making?
My personal favorite so far is the victorian monitor/pc case with the
old-typewriter keyboard.
