Gaaaaah! A dagger to me aged heart! Don't say silver-solder! Claaaass! Claaaass! Sister Mary Elephant says please pay attention! ;-)
Frames are brazed. They are not soldered together. Plumbing is soldered. And Dursley Pedersens don't count, so there! I don't believe that they are soldered anyways, so neener, neener, neener!
I'm also not aware of any silver brazing wire that you can fillet-braze with. Has that changed recently?
