I might use it in this project for the vertical brackets if/when needed.

Brazing (at least with oxy acetylene equipment that I use) is very easy and can give a really neat job on thin gauge material. (It can be used for thicker material but MIG /arc welding is much quicker.) Tobin bronze sticks are fine for most brazing but if strength is needed, use nickel bronze.
I brazed this bicycle carrier together that I made. Thin wall, high tensile steel tube.
