    Advice on brazing wire sculpture

    Greetings!

    For a long time I've wanted to do some wire sculpture. (see example) This is primarily 3/16" to 1/4" round stock. What ever is cheapest?

    Originally I thought I'd need a welder. Not ready for that yet. Then I started researching Brazing and soldering. Now being stuck at home I have no excuse not to try.

    As a complete newbee, What material options do I have? I have a Propane torch, should I get Map? If I go Brazing, can anyone suggest what to order? Probably Amazon. What about flux?

    I did watch some videos on brazing vs. soldering. Since these joints are not getting much stress, is a soldering approach enough?

    Any advice on a better torch nozzle for this?

    My only experience was as a kid my uncle was in the Jeweler business, and watched hours of soldering on links, or melting gold to be cast.

    Thanks in advance for any advice:-)

    This example is 24" tall between 3/16 and 1/4" round stock.
