Over at the frame builders collective, Dave Kirk has a thread on "fillet brazing." Not a tutorial as such, but a good example of some excellent work. Again- you need some experience.
Supplies will be available from a welding supply house. Yellow Pages lists a few. They have an Airgas store there. That would be a good place to start.
other than getting Doug Fattic to teach you to braze, what are the better resources? The article at the frame builders collective was nice, but the site has been hijacked and I don't think it's coming back anytime soon. I learn a lot from people trying to explain things like that, it's too bad. My LWS doesn't have bronze-appropriate flux. They will swear to their last breath that something else will work. I would say that the counter person at the LWS only knows what their customers know, so they might be pretty good at GTAW, but very few people use bronze for anything anymore.
