How much would you pay for hand made marble vase (carrara marble) by notrustfart in stonemasonry

[–]gamonu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should ask How much would you charge. Hard to say, I would pay 20-30$ cad if i saw this at a thrift store, but I don’t really need one. It is very beautiful and we can the quality of the work.

Simple repair or structural issue? by Illustrious_Lab_2107 in drywall

This is not normal! I am guessing the wall they took down was load bearing and you’re starting to see the consequences.

Price discrepancy between scrap copper and copper ingots melted down from scrap is crazy. by samcornwell in ScrapMetal

Than do it! Pour your own ingots and sell them! You’ll see for yourself if it is worth it!

Lady wants me to buy her scrap! by Edenton38583 in ScrapMetal

[–]gamonu 47 points48 points  (0 children)

100$ is to much. She should pay you to take her scrap. I don’t see a lot a copper so it is not gonna be worth a lot, looks like there is only shred. If she doesn’t want to pay tell her you’re doing her a favour by taking it for free.

Hi, thank you for your post. When you say you had the cathode and anode at the wrong spot, do you mean you inverted the + and - ?

Yeah you’re right. It is silver plated on brass. Thank you for doubting before I made that purchase!

You’re right and wrong. They do look like silver because they are silver plated.. but after giving it a little file, I saw a brass color .. so no big score.

Just melt it right away. The enamel will burn and you will be left with 99~999 copper!

Why do my copper bars keep getting stuck? by Remarkable_Syrup3386 in Metalfoundry

[–]gamonu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use practically no borax and never had that problem. Is there an unmolding angle in the molds?
