Managed to bust my new lathe :/

Please let us know how it turns out.

A few years ago I also destroyed a gearbox that had no interlocks ...
 
Nothing against using silicone bronze rod, but you can do a lot more than sweating tube together with brazing rod.
Have seen quite a few exhaust manifolds bronze welded back together in the earlier days
 
Aaron was that fixed with brazing?
@brino Looking at this old post, I must not have seen your question. I would never neglect an honest one. Sorry!
I'm sure it was gas brazed. I did not have a TIG then.

No not where I come from, only ever heard of them as Welch plugs, probably because nothing ever freezes down here.
There is also the fact that whilst thou don't speak proper English across the ditch you do know the proper names for things aye?
 
On Welch Plugs only 'cough, cough' Ford owners should call them 'Frost Plugs'. Here is a bit of history and as they are a 'mercan invention they should be called by the correct name especially by Americans!
