You know what goes great with copper? Tin! Combining copper and tin brought about the Bronze Age and later gave us pewter. Today's lead-free solders contain mostly tin with a bit of copper and/or other metals.

Electric recycler worth it?
Been seeing this video floating around. Wondering if it was worth stripping wires, or just continue recycling them with sheathing on. Is the time saved make it worth it. Anyone use one?

Can you share your experiences with me?
Hello everyone. I am looking for a reliable supplier of scrap copper, but after further research, almost all of them turn out to be scams. Other suppliers, on the other hand, seem unclear and the prices are too low, which concerns me. Has anyone ever tried to successfully purchase in bulk?

How to make better poured bars
So I cast aand pour copper bars, mostly to stack some to sale. However I still end up buying nicer copper bars also. Does anyone know how to take my poured bars from just a cast bar to a real nice bar.
