Machinist for nearly all of my life, first on the lathe at age four, first time at the torch age eight.
Currently picking through year 40 (yes, still a spike but the velvet's off...).
There's no counting the pounds of silver solder and brazing alloy I've committed via torch, tig, and hearth.

From the Machinery's Handbook for Machine Shop and Drafting-Room
page 1210 on brazing and silver soldering.


It's a good read if you want to hear it from the industry's voice.



Cheers
