If a pic is worth a thousand words a vid is worth a thousand pics(well maybe not a thou!) That would be great to see from a helmet cam view. Here's a vid of one builder's technique:

On the contrary, it seems that would be the ultimate goal of a fillet braze. Doug Curtis (Curtlo Cycles) does his fillet brazed frames without filing. I have two of his frames, they look great to me.
This is a great thread, thanks to all for your input.
