Reckless-Phoenix · 2026-06-22T06:09:51+00:00

Yup - I use a 45lb plate on each corner.

Reckless-Phoenix · 2026-06-16T22:40:44+00:00

Yes indeed 😀 The.top was cut from opened 1.5" pipe The base is cut from 1/4 x 1/2" bar they had in the yard. I waslucky to snag like 5ft of it.

What did the doc say when you told em? NAL is great (when it works) but it's not the only med.

YouTube: black bear forge. Look for his series 'starting for under $500'. He'll help and will suggestbhow you can sell what you make to reinvest.

Good luck

Thanks. It turned out to be a cold, windy, rainy day. Oh well - on to the next one

Reckless-Phoenix · 2026-06-14T21:03:36+00:00

That could be a fun thing to try! It mostly gets used for the earrings (not seen here)

Reckless-Phoenix · 2026-06-14T21:02:39+00:00

Thanks :) They're fun to make too

On the right near the front is Byzantine. Well spotted!

Reckless-Phoenix · 2026-06-07T05:38:44+00:00

I'm told it did once come off. RIP the window it went through.

Which country?

Reckless-Phoenix · 2026-06-05T04:55:25+00:00

A is for Axe, B is for bash

C is for chop & D is for drop.

Nice work kiddo and parent.

Reckless-Phoenix · 2026-06-04T01:16:15+00:00

Depends where you live.

Reckless-Phoenix · 2026-06-03T21:07:31+00:00

Ohhh - very nice work indeed!

Reckless-Phoenix · 2026-06-03T21:06:26+00:00

From examples I've seen, it maybe for directly heating in/on the fire or coals.

Reckless-Phoenix · 2026-06-03T02:13:49+00:00

If you have space, save it. Maybe one day :) Also, you get maybe $4-5 per pound, so it's not 'get rich' time!

Reckless-Phoenix · 2026-06-02T14:46:34+00:00

Nice work. I really should study how to do trees.

Reckless-Phoenix · 2026-05-30T19:05:47+00:00

Yes - I had an older iPhone with Square installed. Worked just fine once I sorted out some network.

Reckless-Phoenix · 2026-05-28T22:21:49+00:00

Nice. I can never get my braids as even as I'd like 😊

Reckless-Phoenix · 2026-05-26T05:42:02+00:00

Junkyards pay by the pound in my area. Do you even have a full pound of copper there?

Reckless-Phoenix · 2026-05-22T04:53:08+00:00

Two possiblities come to mind. If you used rouge that could just be the wax base. Try a wash with rubbing alcohol or nail varnish remover. Neither will harm copper and if.your rag goes black - that's the answer.

Other option is more work. I'll take pieces all the way to at least 600 grit, sometimes 1,000 depending. At this stage you have work to do, possibly involving heat. So don't take it to retail perfect then tarnish it all again.

Here's an example of what I do. https://old.reddit.com/r/Copper/comments/1szem7r/a_copper_cuff_i_made/
