Just like a real jelly fish, it would probably hurt to step on this! Nice work...looking forward to seeing it done!

Very Nice. Preserving the efforts of the initial fabrication of a product while converting it into something cool has always been a great achievement! Keep up the effort!

what brass to use for forgings?
in Copper Alloys

655C is the only bronze that should be forged with health in mind. The lead content as noted above is about .2%-.5%. Any other bronzes will have higher lead count in them.
As noted above as well, Even a propane barbque will melt this bronze into a hott puddle on the floor of your forge. Orange is way too hot. If it gets this hot let it cool to dark red before attempting to blink. I tried working 2 pieces in the propane forge and found that I did not feel like a PRO, but did feel the PANE. One at a time! I just bought 5/8" round and it is about $11 a foot.
