Brazing is an art and a developed skill. Most "silver brazing" is done with an oxy-acetylene and takes practice to perfect the skill. Proper fixturing is also a major component to sucess.
You most likely could save yourself money by picking up a nice older lugged frame and refinishing it and building it up to your liking. You would still have the satisfaction of doing it yourself.
