Took me off a bunch of iterations to finally figure out some looks that I like

The shiniest one is just a clean well-balanced accurately calculated current density bright copper

The dollar finish is actually copper deposits with intentionally extremely low amperage until it builds up a really thick layer and then I toss it into a tumbler with a bunch of Steel burnishing mixed media

The last one is bright copper dipped into liver of sulfur and then put into course polish

Are there any other good copper finishes to look into? I am preparing for a craft sale.

Hello All

Trying to find any products that can help remove the heat marks and flux splatter off the work once I'm finished soldering. Trying to keep it looking clean and no scratch marks. I have tried experimenting with large propane only jet and small oxypropane/acetylene but to no avail. currently using a degreaser to remove the flux marks.

In the photo you can see the flux marks at the top and in certain places the heat marks. Looking forward to any and all tips and tricks.

I would like to make a higonokami inspired balisong. What does it take to forge a 3mm plate of copper around 3mm of steel as a handle piece?

I have a few ideas, but if there is a potential for cracking or tearing of the copper then I would like to be prepared in advance to alleviate these stresses.

I would like to do a nice work hardened, hammered finish ideally, so the 3mm thickness is with this in mind.

I made this by lost wax casting.

I hand poured every piece. Made from clean, pure melted copper wire.

Just counted my stack. Total of 115 oz one more coin is one the way.

How much do you guys have in your stack?

I’ve been looking to buy some copper drinking ware and a jug to store and ionize some drinking water for work but everywhere I look online it comes from sketchy brands, ai photos, not pure copper, or just plated. Any places yall would recommend?

Not as talented as some of you lovely people but I'm excited to keep working with copper.

I’m trying to get this right piece the same copper rich color like the left one. I’ve used white vinegar and lemon and salt, but can’t remember how I did it for the left one. I’m just trying random things. Can I get some tips to correct this?
