Wait... WAit ... WAIT.... Just do the old solder trick - You don't even have to use silver solder - Regular solder will also work - You can get a little butane torch - There are all kinds of people around who have the equipment to repair a copper pipe if you can't do it yourself... Man I wish I was close enough to do it for you... It really is that simple - Don't be afraid it will come out fine...
