    Your copper project sounds great.   One question.  I am not familiar
    with brazing. What kind of torch  and gas do you use. ? I have made 
    a copper trellis for my garden using lead  solder and a plumber's
    bernzamatic torch with  disposable canister's of propane, and am
    currently working on a copper gate using the same method.  However,
    I  would be interest in brazing as a method of attaching brackets to
    copper panels prior to enameling them.  I need something that will
    hold up at 1500 degrees Farenheit in my kiln.   Lead solder
    certainly would not, therefore,  Brazing sounds like it might be the
    way to go, but I've never done it. Alma
