Mock up for a nut cracker design I am going to try. Final will be forged rather than fabricated and some stops to make sure the nut isn't obliterated.

Nice antique copper pot with a dirty secret: lead-bearing solder repair in the leading corner. Can it still be made safe and practical for cooking?

Boat and motorcycle guys, are these copper exhaust pipes cool and valuable, or stupid? I bought them for $40 on marketplace to cut up into discs and practice raising small vessels, but after looking them up I'm wondering if I can get more sheet by reselli

Second silversmithing stake. Anyone know these old Dixons? This one has the name and number engraved or stamped, not embossed in casting like all the others I've seen.

Which type/s of metal files do I need for this style whiskered finish on brass when smoothing it before polishing? First attempt at patching a broken antique copper pot handle with silver braze, want to match the common French finish of that era.

First cook: My buddy who's a chef and hobbyist blacksmith wanted an 18" tinned copper paella pan, so he did the reasonable thing and forged his own, complete with wrought mild steel handles and forged copper rivets.
