On the wee small possibility that you're not an out-of-school troll,
you'll need an oxy/acetyline torch setup and some brazing rod, plus
various holders, flux, brushes, and cleaners.

For small pieces, you can use a soldering iron. Look for a high wattage
iron of the type used for stained glass work.

The word is "break" I'd normally not be
so pedantic except that when I see the word
"brake", my mind takes a totally different
path than it should...
Back to the question. Use "hard" solder
and acid flux. Clean all the flux real
good after you're done.
You should not use the solder joint to transmit
force. It should only be used to stick the
parts together. Use a pin or screw or bends
in the metal to lock them together then solder.
