Hyper Iron Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I finally got ahold of some good quality and properly sized copper. I have been working mostly with mild steels, and a few mid to high carbons 4140,5160,1090,etc and decided I wanted to step into the bronze, brass, copper world. I must say copper is a joy to work with, and it keeps its heat very well. I forged 2 copper rings. The first is a leaf, and the second is a failed penny scroll. I need to work on making the fail point a bit smaller and make sure it's plenty hot at that junction as well. I didn't do any polishing I just soaked in red wine vinegar, scrubbed with a cloth and brush then repeated. It started as 1/4inch round and worked it down to an 1/8.
