stainless on copper. . .

good question nelson

I guess that calls for an excursion to a piece were I brazed copper to stainless, polished the stainless and then patinaed the copper about 6 years ago.
It has been sitting outside for the last 4.

it was mainly a materials study piece.
hmmmmm where is that camera . . . .

hmmmmm stone base is frozen down to a stone table; it will have to wait til I can get it out of the corner.
So, prey for warm, and I'll catch it.

one nice thing about copper and stainless as a pair is that their coefficients of expansion are almost the same.

(much like concrete and mild steel)
