Look at one of the earlier posts and there's a fixture I made to hold the sides together while soldering the lattice. The only problem was it was too big and sucked all the heat out of the brass too fast making it difficult to get the heat right for solder flow. I also made a rectangle to hold the splice section. I'm going to make up a fixture to hold the width correctly while soldering the tubing on the top and bottom. Some pieces will just hold themselves together while soldering.
