pot metal repair

Not a pot metal bezel but a pot metal frame 20" hanging lamp from the 30's. It's my hanging lamp in the dining room that has gone south. From the pic you can see where several of the spiders have separated from the hub.

I plan on taking it down, pry out the art glass segments and am looking for suggestions to re-connect the pot metal spiders back to the hub. Solder, glue, blowtorch, give up, etc.

And I would like to know how this frame was made. I know nothing about pot metal fabrication. Google next.
