    It is possible to weld brass to brass with bronze filler rod but you had better spend a while practising; the melting point for the filler is very close to that for the brass.

    Use Braze 450 for brass to brass joints; this is a form of silver solder. Just Goofgle 'Braze 450' for more information, do it on the web or a local search here on the zone.
    An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.

    Yes it is possible to weld brass to brass, some time ago I welded up a bunch of 1/2" brass plates to make some wear plates on a extendo boom forklift that nobody had parts for. I used "I think" utectec brand electrodes and arc welded the pieces together with very good results.
