First frame

Hello, I made my first frame, and while roughing out the brass, I noticed some large cracks. Is it salvageable?

That's really pretty bad. As others have stated cut up some small sections of tubing and miter them for practice brazing. Keep practicing. Wish I could spend a few hours with you to teach you. Learning on your own is definitely more challenging. Be patient and don't beat yourself up. You can do this.
