    Who cares where the question was asked. The primary point is that the question WAS asked and WAS answered.

    My original response to this was deleted I just stated what I think is how the average smith goes about pricing their work. I guess the post police don't have a sense of humor That's what the smiley face was in response to.

    I used to make arrow head belt buckles rather frequently I used stainless steel and put the flaking texture in them cold with a cross peen.

    The end is forged square A square hole is punched in the candle cup slightly smaller than the square on the stem ( I used the square tang on a rat tail file as the punch ) Then the candle cup is heated up and shrunk onto the stem

    Thanks Bigfootnampa The candle cup is a separate piece I am pretty far from being good More like approaching average I'd say

    Here is a little Flux Spoon that I made to hang at the forge Approx. 10 inches long with a 3/4 X 1 inch shovel on the end with about 1/8 inch tall sides Thought it would be different than your everyday flux spoon

    The copper was some drops from some material that I made some Buss Bars from for the utility company here They were rather large Bus Bars and the material was 1/2 inch thick X 3 inches wide The drops ranged from 3/4 inch to 2 inches wide that were left after sawing the lengths of copper to the required size. Thought this would be a better use for the drops than just scrapping them even though copper prices were high.
