Oof, you're in Vancouver B.C., so close, yet so far away from Portland, Oregon where I'm at.
I do it pretty much like Peter Weigle does (that's his picture from Flickr you posted). And yes,
shaken, not stirred brazed, not welded.
The reason, for those wondering what the heck we're yakking about, the Huret dropout in the linked picture has a derailleur stop at the 4 o'clock position, whereas the "Campy standard" is 7 o'clock. Braze in a bit of brass, some filing, Bob's your uncle. Many welders know how to braze as well, if you know someone with a careful hand.
