    I am in the process of making a 4 sided Copper Triangle (I'm sure
    there's a geometric name for it), and I am planning on using pure
    silver bezel on it to hold down some cabs. Anyone have any
    recommendations or warnings on how to do. I've tried doing silver
    with copper before, and it ended with a scorched piece of copper
    that didn't seem to want to braze to the silver, so i'm nervous -
    i've spent a week carving the triangle pattern out of a single piece
    of Copper, and then scoring and folding it to make it perfect, i'd
    hate to ruin it on the brazing part. Am I going to run into a
    serious oxidation problem because of the copper? That is my concern.
