thanks for the ideas and i will certainly look into them, but i still believe it would be to my benefit to learn more about casting, Evan if i have to set the copper aside for a while..

Thank you all for your thoughts and time, but were should i start can you recommend a website or book i should find? like i stated earlier I'm vary new to this and don't know much. PS thanks Steve for clearing that up smelting was just the closest thing i thought of for what i wanted to accomplish

thanks for the reply Frosty, their are a couple of reasons for my wanting to try this, first off i am a part time welder and a copper block or ingot is perfect for doing butt welds on a metal table, and the other is that i figure copper is one of the easier things to smelt so because I'm a beginner i thought i would try. but thanks for your advice i will try to see what i can find.
