And "bronze welding" or "fillet brazing" was another thing .

We've all see the REALLY old , circa 1890's frames , with some tubes perfectly mitered , and stuck together with no lug , no fillet , no visible means of connection . The steel tubes look as if they were simply glued into place . That's runny brass brazing .

But with more viscous bronze , you can build up a nice fillet . >>

Nope... all the same... with more 'filet" or less build up on the inside or outside of the joint, but all really just techiniques within the same basic joining method..
