This is my first post to bikeforums, and I am utterly uninformed about brazing and metallurgy in general, knowing only what I've been able to glean from one evening of Google searches; basically I'm ignorant.

I work at a pottery studio, and I'm curious whether it would be possible to create a lugged steel frame in a large bisque kiln. Its probably an absurd concept.
LOL! I'm ignorant AND fascinated by the process of creating a frame.
Also, as a silversmith used to creating wearable art, the thought of riding my art is magnetically attractive to me.

I often use silver paste solders containing 56% silver or higher (http://www.myuniquesolutions.com/page6.html - not my site, just an example) I imagine this might be used much like the coiled silver solder placed inside the lugs.

I'd imagine that this would be worth a try.
