I would advise against welding, mainly because of the low melting point of brass. I don't know how your piece is laid out, but I imagine that it would be difficult to keep the heat away from the brass while trying to weld the steel together.
Soldering could work, I don't see why it wouldn't albeit a little frustrating. Brazing is something that came to mind. Another is J.B. Weld. I haven't used J.B. Weld for sealing jump rings, but I've used it as weld filler in a pinch.
Good luck!
I recommend these snub nosed, longer handled pliers. https://www.amazon.com/Artistic-Wire-180S-218-Maille-Jewelry/dp/B008OG7758/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1551041495&sr=8-8&keywords=chainmaille+pliers

They are strong and easy on the hands.
For storage, I use sets of fishing tackle boxes - the Plano ones are usually set up with individual trays with separable compartments, letting her set it up how she wants for rings she keeps a lot/little of.
Something like this works really well for storing a working set of rings, and then you can store tools and stuff in the top.
So far this has been my favorite organization container: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JDL4PP9/. The 36 grid container here has subsections which are just barely big enough to fit an entire bag of the anodized aluminum rings I get from ringlord.
You might consider a tackle box of some kind.
For example, this one is pretty sizeable (16.5 x 12 x 16 inches ; 6 pounds), and has a ton of compartments.
I don't know how well it would work with large quantities of rings, but it can certainly hold a sizeable variety of rings.
Pliers with parallel jaws and mechanical advantage. They aren't cheap, but the Knipex 86-03-125 are the only way I can work 14ga anodized titanium without marring up the anodizing. TRL has some nylon jaw pads that can be cut down to fit them as well.
https://www.amazon.com/Knipex-Tools-86-03-125/dp/B00I8N282O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517893706&sr=8-1&keywords=86+03+125
The super basic kit:
Go to a hardware store and buy needlenose pliers and some steel wire and start making rings! You will need a mandrel to wrap coils on, and something to cut the coils apart. I would suggest a long 1/4" bolt and some diagonal cutters. You can also use a hacksaw to cut coils apart. Or, if you aren't up to cutting steel wire, get some copper, aluminum, or brass wire, since they are softer and easier to cut and form.
I use fine chain nose pliers like these.
Funny you should ask, because I've just been searching to see if I can get more... These came from Walmart, of all places... Made by Cousin. Walmart may still carry them, if you can find them in stores. Cousin do sell them (for considerably more) or you can check Etsy or Amazon for equivalents. TRL also carries spikes
What a bummer.
Have you ever tried the knippex pliers? http://www.amazon.com/KNIPEX-20-01-140-Pliers/dp/B005EXNY42
Those are the base pliers that ring lord modifies. I haven't tried them stock, but I've been very pleased with the modified versions. I don't think the mod would be hard either. You just need the right tools. Basically you just shorten the nose and grind off the teeth.
Maybe something like these?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PRVFMSM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_wq1myb61MGSSE
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F17ZBIM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_yr1mybQ4SJDJ0
I use this kind and they work fine.
Only one I could find for the same material was on Amazon and it was $160 for a tenpack of 60 inches of wire... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0013891OO/ref=biss_dp_t_asn
​
Where do you buy your spring wire?
Some of those cuts are REALLY wide which of course will lead to the issue you are having. What kind of bolt cutters are you using? I've had nothing but trouble (bad cuts) with anything other than knipex ones:
http://www.amazon.com/71-01-200-SBA-Leverage/dp/B001H1HJQO/ref=sr_1_1?s=power-hand-tools&ie=UTF8&qid=1415484122&sr=1-1&keywords=knipex+bolt+cutters
cheaper, but same concept... I use these to teach kids, and they are cheap enough to give away:
http://www.amazon.com/Rings-Parts-Parrots-Plastic-Pieces/dp/B00GK8Z92K
Do you not have automotive repair shops? Airgas? Linde? Every country on the planet uses welders.
Heres one on amazon
Here's one on Alibaba
You tell me where your located and i'll find a store that sells welders within 2 hours of where ever you live 100% guaranteed. Even if you live in a warzone.
And even if that fails here is how you make one with super basic parts, a single microwave transformer. Spot welders are dead simple man, literally just a transformer. You could make one with literally just copper wire and a hunk of iron.
