joining brass
I have two brass or bronze hinges. I want to join them, edge of leaf to edge of leaf. I have a MAP/Air torch. I assume I would need to braze them. What type of brazing rod would I use? Is this the right approach? Will I be able to machine the join afterwards?
Many thanks in advance

How thick are the leaves?
Yes, braze, or perhaps silver solder, would work, but if they aren't thick enough the joint will not be strong. That may not be an issue, depending on the application.
If the join is at right angles you may be able to strengthen with a small fillet?

you can also use 15% -45% silver brazing rods. Use with flux.
Map gas will do it okay.
