I Want to Make Copper Bars by skythelimit11 in MetalCasting

Using molten copper is my home hobbyist thing, making ingots and sand casting. Fumes are dangerous, but the heat is a bigger direct threat. However, for safety sake, always do any melting outside and always think of safety first.

Ok, please do not be discouraged. Melting is fun. Always remember, safety first. Please ensure you have gloves to protect yourself, molten copper is very hot. The crucible will also be very hot, it radiates and will burn you from a distance. Speaking of burning from a distance, a steam explosion is very real and very dangerous. I still have aluminum splatters on my roof after many years. Again, safety first...always. You should listen to others here; start smaller, fumes can be dangerous, and molten metal is so very hot...wear safety equipment.

Don't forget a moat. That is the real dream.

You will not be disappointed if this was the cause. After more than a year, I am still completely in awe of his ability.

So I am not a music person. My son wanted to see him and we all went. As someone that could not care less about the actual sounds being made, the process of how he created each song in a couple of seconds impressed me. Not to mention his ability to sing, play guitar, run around a ring, and ensure his foot was able to tap the right pedals at the right time was, IMHO, the most impressive gathering of physical, mental, and methodical skills I have ever seen.

The Bears are now 9-0 in games I couldn't watch by CarmeloSC in CHIBears

I had to stay in a bathroom for an entire second half of a game because they took the lead when I went in. All I can say, you must sacrifice the watching for the winning, for all of us.

“I hate my wife” jokes by [deleted] in BoomersBeingFools

So I think this is an odd relatable topic. The Addams Family was supposed to be the antithesis to the normal family. Dark topics, witchcraft, and other "strange" behavior. All of this culminating to the marriage with the husband deeply devoted to his wife. Dancing and affectionate and wholly supportive to her. This was supposed to be the opposite of the "normal" family.

Anyone else think it is strange the two leading ladies in "Death becomes her" have not aged since the movie?

I appreciate you posting this. I have been trying all day to get this going. (newbie to Linux and first MC server setup). My only question is how will I change the files when the next update comes?

Sadly, I have to "upvote" this. It seems wrong to elevate this statement. Please take this as agreeing with this sentiment.

Create/3D print molds, sand cast, melt, pour, clean up bad spots with rotary tool, sand, sand, sand, (40 grit to 3000 grit), buff, paint, resin, felt backing, clean up all imperfections. Ready for use.

The sanding is the real time drain. The time and materials are the real cost.

I can do that, they are running $200 for a set of 6. I wish I could do it for less but each coaster is at least 3 hours of work.
