[TheForge] forge brazing

I have found that milk of magnesia, from the drugstore, works well to stop
spelter from flowing where you don't want it.  Does take a bit of scraping
to clean up, but nothing like filing brass in tight corners.  For that I
use a high speed rotary tool with a small carbide or  diamond bit.

The milk of magnesia idea came from one of the blacksmith newsletters, or
possibly from this list.  I frequently forget where these good ideas come
from.
