retooling a 700c fork into a 650b

I want a 650b steel lugged cantilever fork, which are not that common at all. I was looking on ebay and found a vendor selling a bunch of 700c (allegedly) Fuji forks (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fuji-700c-St...item58a304f841). I was wondering if it would be possible to heat it up, take it apart, cut it down to size, and rebraze it back along with canti studs. Has anybody done this? I wonder if there would be enough straight tubbing at the top for me to cut before the tapper comes to haunt me.
