COPPER IS THE NEW STEEL!
" And after you heat the material and quench it (annealing). it becomes super malleable - almost like heavy tin foil - and you can shape it either with your fingers or with a very small and light hammer"
Actually no. Interesting thing about the copper is that it doesn't hold heat. The small gauge material is instantly touchable after quenching and the copper pin I used to go from cone to star was just seconds to cool. Steel takes way longer to get to safe temperature.... with gloves on your fingers, right?
So the side bolts? For adjusting oxygen ratios?
Very good schooling in forges. I have the quintessential tiger torch, I think
at 80,000 BTU. So what is each nozzle in your forge then? Obviously I watch
Forged in Fire and I’m stunned at how fast they can enclose those forges
and get solid 3” balls ( for example ) to meltable temps.
