Copper to steel?

moose - Saturday, August 20, 2011 - 12:15am

Can I use Siliconbronze rod to stick steel and copper together? If not what technique would work? I am wanting to put some 18ga cold roll and similar thickness copper together for a sculpture...

finally back rto some metal!

My daughter is in a Greek studies class and asked me to help her make an olive leaf wreath. Because I had some from the roses I make we chose copper. We silver soldered the leaf shape to some wire. Then drilled a piece of tube and soft soldered the wire into the tube to anchor the leaf. For a quick effort it did not turn out too bad. The bes tpart was finally getting a torch into her hands. Next step will be welding!!!

Anvil question

moose - Saturday, December 22, 2007 - 7:25pm

Greetings one and all,
I am going to look at an anvil tomorrow. What should I look for to tell if it is a good one or worthless junk? Claim is that it is a 100lb. older anvil.

Thanks
