Hey you's guys! Remember all my whining about copper a couple weeks ago? I just scored two of these:

I was asking about how to smelt copper so I can get some cheap for my knives. 'Memba, ya dirty ol' hippie?? :footinmou

I resemble that remark

You should really try some of the white bronze from Rio grande. I did a crude casting just using and old cast iron ashtray as a crucible with a little flux on top and it came out pretty good. You would be hard pressed to tell the dif between it and N silver

I believe N/S is a White Brass isn't it? if so, there wouldn't be a lot of difference. I'm thinking again
