When I attended a vocational H.S. in Buffalo that's all we had was oxy/gas welding and brazing, they had a stick welding class but that was only for the night school classes, but they did teach us how to tin radiators with 5 lb. coffee cans and the old steel soldering irons..As far as brazing bigger stuff with higher pressures, I split one of the bolt together glands on the lift cylinder on a '57 ford tractor, friend of mine worked at a welding shop said they could fix it..They heated up a manhole cover with a rosebud and brazed the cast gland on top of that smokin hot cover, then they threw a fire blanket over it heating it several times for a slow cool process..that was 20 years ago and its still working...
