Staged indoor photos by me of a keychain for sale -

Copper crucible help?
Admanfrd replied to Admanfrd's topic in Smelting, Melting, Foundry, and Casting
Ive looked it up. I have copper pipe that i have cut open, flattened into sheets, then cut up real fine. I just need to know what kind of crucible i need for copper and if i can put the crucible straight into the forge -
Copper crucible help?
Admanfrd replied to Admanfrd's topic in Smelting, Melting, Foundry, and Casting
I searched before I asked. Couldn't find anything. Link maybe? -
I have a bunch of scrap copper and can justify using it, so I want to melt it down and mold it. Is there a special crucible for copper? Can i make a crucible? Can I put it (the crucible) straight into a coal forge? Should I put glass on top of it? Thank you!

Oh, I thought you were talking about repair of the teyure.

I saw a video of someone forging this once. they heated it with an oxypropane torch and with 6 guys beat it into the shape of an anvil horn (bick for you britspeakers) with 18# sledges. they made short work of it.

A weld will be a lot better in a high heat situation.
-
Frosty, yes, I found it comical how that thread worked out. I learned a lot about the pros and cons of welding reins.

That post was a debating jewel. Almost like Rob Ford's political career! (Badum shhhhh)

A pair of bolt tongs with square jaws so you can cold round and square while still being able to articulate. One jaw wider than the other.

I love the fact that we can agree to disagree :D
-
Interesting. I still hold my belief that Fishers are just a bit too over glorified. Everything has its place and depending on the task, other anvils might work better.

I used charcoal once... I have no hair left. Coal is great for reducing radiant heat.
-
Leaf spring is awful stuff... I dont recommend it even if you are getting paid to take it. Lets see a photo of your work, I do not believe we have ever seen anything from you except advise.

Im sure some "wrought iron smith" (of which most don't actually use wrought) would love to have some... and me how much per pound/per foot? XD
-
Im sure with a little bit of burning skin you could carefully stack an igloo... not recommended :rolleyes: :lol:
-
Side thought, breaking the coal is really easy with a long handled ball peen hammer, a good whack, and a full face shield... maybe some long sleeves too. have fun
-
Only bituminous coal cokes [good] and you want it in slack size. about the size of a really, REALLY big peanut. (like, REALLY big)
-
No, they are great anvils! I just find them a bit.. wierd. They have their place just like a peter wright of an A&H have theirs. I was expecting more because of all the worship they get on this site.
-
Or just dont clay at all and start forging. Thats always fun. How is the hand crank working out for you?
-
Sandy. And no, all you could learn from me is that I can make a good leaf and some sweet tongs. I am still a beginner myself. but hey, could be fun. Update you location on your profile.

I have personally used a Fisher a few weeks ago side by side with my A&H wrought anvil. I found the Fisher to be very so-so in rebound as well as difficult to work under the heel for punching curvy holes. It was an ok anvil, But i find Fishers to be fan boyed and overrated.
