I just have a torch to use maybe map gas is better then propane


That's very thick metal for brazing with a simple air-burning torch,
even using MAPP. I suspect you'd need an oxy-acetalene rig for brazing
tubing that thick. MIG welding would be far easier and stronger.


Before all the oxy-acetylene weldors out there jump all over me, what I
meant was that MIG welding would be easier and stronger than OA *brazing*.
Of course, if the original poster had an OA rig available, he could simply
use it to weld the table frame together. But that point is academic.
