Sure, but I have to ask what purpose the copper serves? It's awfully soft for much of anything structural in thin sections.
If you're fixated on using copper I think a safer choice – mostly due to the heat of brazing – would be silver soldering between the two metals.
You have a plan showing details of what you want to fabricate? That may help those of us out here understand what you want to achieve.
