  1. Hello all, I am very new here and very new to forging/black smithing/blade smithing. I made a quick and cheap gas forge from an tin bucket plaster of paris and sand mixture with a home made venturi burner. It was on the fly cheap and works ok for what me and my son are doing now but the plaster is breaking up after 4 or 5 months of hard use and i finally gathered proper insulation materials. Soooo i have a copper cylinder that is just about 1/8" thick give or take and is 22"diameter and 32" long. Will this melt at forge welding temps? Im thinking it would but figured id ask around. Id hate to waste my blanket and coating. Oh yeah im looking to do forced air this time around and see if i can get less fuel consumption. Im currently burning a 5 gal tank every 6-8 hours of forging. Thanks in advance.
