Hello there, new to this board. I am have a lot of experience with soldering and recently have wanted to get into brazing. Anyone have any suggestions for beginner brazing? A good beginner set up? Thanks!

Brazing's a fairly difficult skill- try some soft soldering first, using flux and how to apply your heat so the solder moves to where that is, then work up to silver-soldering and the like

Thanks anon, a lot of things i solder i like you use rosin core with flux in it. Does brazing have options like this? I read at certain temps with brazing your flux will change colors. I have done a few arc welds however it ruins the molecular compounds in the products i am making ruining the magnetic charge the metal needs to hold. I did some research and brazing seems like a better option for what i am doing. Is this something you recommend i try at home to experiment? The gas tanks required seem a little scary to be sitting in a garage. Thoughts?

Try some sheet metal soft soldering- make a tool tray or something like that
>Clean up the edges, remove any zinc coating, flux the joins, apply heat and then run the solder along it.

That's sort of how I ended up learning to braze and solder, later on moved into a bit of copper and silver brazing in more industrial/plumbing applications. I'm not a professional though and we do have some plumbers lurking here which might be able to jump in.

Some brazing you can do with a MAPP torch so you don't need to go to an oxy-acetalyne torch. There are quite a few types of braze available, a cheap way to learn is some copper water pipe fittings and some phos-copper or silver solder rods from the hardware store (no flux needed for those two types on copper).
You can do a lot of brazing with silver solder rods and the appropriate flux, but the key elements are a clean, well fluxed joint and good joint fitup - you want a light push fit so that capillary action can pull the braze between the joint faces. There's usually a torrent floating around containing the book Soldering and Brazing by Tubal Cain - it's one of the miniature steam engine builders bibles, so if you can download a copy of it' it'll tell you plenty.

i've brazed copper-brass fittings together with oxypropane ( using something-silv brazing rod, the 0% silver rod lol ) and harris stay-silv flux, the flux makes it flow nice

here's some bronze brazing and a cast iron intake manifold repair
