[TheForge] forge brazing

[magichammer]

Wire brush or sand your joints clean.
Copper wire works fine. (striped romex)
Use steel or iron wire to bind your pieces to be brazed.
Apply borax or any other welding flux or blue brazing flux.
Gently heat until copper flows, reduce heat significantly to allow 
solidification.
Remove excess flux when cool.
