Nice work Clinton. You're a carpenter but you chose metal studs? I swung a framing hammer for years in my younger days and I've never tried metal stud construction. The missus needs another shed for her holiday decorations and I was thinking metal studs. How hard are they to use?

Hi All! I'm brand new to this site and I've never posted before, ever! I hope I can grasp the technicalities. I'm only marginally computer-literate. I have a bunch of scrap brass/bronze laying about. Two days ago, I grabbed an old wrought iron plumber's lead melting ladle and threw a bunch of brass into it and shoved it in my propane forge. I half expected the ladle to give out before the brass melted, but the brass went liquid in a few minutes. I didn't know what to do with it then, so I made a small furrow in the sand of my smithy floor and poured it in. At least now I can reduce all of that scrap to some sort of ingot-like pieces that will take up less space.
