That's Plan B.

But brazed or soldered looks cooler, and should be lighter.

Yeah, screw "functional". Just make it -look- cool!

It's gotta look cool _and_ work. Beauty comes from functionality: if it
works, it is, by definition, beautiful. If it works _and_ it's well
made it's beautifuller. If it doesn't work worth a damn then all the
artsy-fartsy critics in the world can rave over it, but it's still an
ugly piece of @#$%.
