Isn't building up brazing to attach an eyelet essentially the same? Curious not challenging. Aspire to build a frame...

To clarify, to common filler we call "silver" is usually 56% silver which does not build up well but has great capillary action (filling lugs and what not). There are other silver fillers like 50n or 46% silver that can build up like brass (bronze). These are what stainless fillet brazed bikes are generally built with. Search for Kirk frames for some amazing examples.
