Adventures

Currently I am working on some personal experiments/projects, and some apprentice work.

I am currently apprenticing with Alan Flashing (www.flashingforge.com), and we’ve been doing a lot of projects that require me to do extensive texturing to copper sheet and cold chiseling on iron.

The experiments are a little more interesting, though not as impressive. I am attempting to discover the semi-lost art of retinning/tinning of copper. Unfortunately I am having trouble getting a hold of pure Tin, and I need to find a good source for rosin, or some other acceptable flux.

Otherwise, another curias is in order as I am having forming withdrawls, so expect to see one soon.
