Do you have access to an oxy-acetylene gas set?
If yes, you could either braze it together or use silver solder with flux.
Other options include JB-Weld it together.
Good luck.

I was attempting to machine the pieces for a metal "bobber" for my new
soft
ballast tank's water level indicator (Foam just gives at depth, so that's
no
good). The piece is essentially one piece 1cm in diameter 1mm thick walls
and 1cm in length and another 5mm 1mm thick wall and 1cm in length tube
with
two 1cm diameter 1mm thick "washer" end caps with a center bore hole of
5mm.
I can get the pieces machine out great, that's the easy part. I'm trying
to
weld them all together however and I end up with some really shitty
looking
welds. I've never attempted to weld something so "delicate" before. What
I'm
trying to make here is a preasure proof bobber and the end product should
be
something like a hollow bearing.
All my welding is done via stick arc welding.
Any suggestions?
