    Alternatively you could use standard silver solder and then copper
    plate the solder. Wrap some iron around your soldered copper piece
    and dump it into an old (i.e. nice and green from pickling copper)
    pickle solution. I use vinegar and salt pickle. The solder is then
    copper plated. 

    Plating idea from one of Tim McCreight's books....   thanks Tim!
