You attended a red, one room school house. One teacher, Kindergarten - 6th grade.

But I am not that old, just lucky!

I am doing a demo in a few weeks, I will likely do this. For me, it is not about the cash. It is about knowing that people value what they see. It is the same reason I sell my stuff on Etsy. When people start laying out non-trivial amounts of cash I know I am getting better.



In Topic: Casting .99% Copper

I asked my aluminum casting instructor about casting copper. He told me what I assume is an urban legend.

The company that makes strike anywhere matches asked Edison for an innovation to save money in manufacturing. He pointed out there were two strike panels on each box. One was more than enough. They asked how he would like to be paid for this huge money saving idea. He said he would like a 2"x2"x2" perfectly cast cube of copper AND all the failed attempts. Casting copper well is so difficult that the scrap value of all the failures compensated him very well...

In Topic: Who are the people that do this to anvils

For the right price, I will take a well preserved, painted anvil.

For a better price, I will leave the butterflies on.

It *may* have gone a little soft. House fires may not have been that hot. I have a hard time believing that it went orange.

Still anvil shaped and plenty good for striker anvil, kids, people with poor aim.
