    Thanks Parrothead. Good to know that it will be taken, of course depending on the yard.

    The cost will be negligible. I am doing the forge for metal casting, so the cost of the forge I am forwarding to the metal cast side. Fuel is going to be used motor oil, which I have in abundant supply. Ingot forms are old bread and muffin pans that were given to me for scrap.



    I figured that after a metal cast run, leave the forge going and then pour some copper ingots so I no longer have buckets of copper everywhere, and hopefully make it to #1 price range.

    Along that line I have found out that I will lose some copper to oxidization. Which should be turned around by selling at #1 price.

    Thanks.
