Looking for Solid Copper Flintknapping Billets

(1/4) > >>

rileyconcrete:
Hey guys,  I am looking for some solid copper billets.  I want a larger one to spall out some large obsidian and also some smaller ones for working flint and such.  I have a few items to trade, like a couple staves, obsidian, a large boa skin about 8 feet, and some sinew.

 Hey Tell, I know why your looking for the large copper billets,,,,,,,,You've been watching Emory bust up the big ones. ;D   Sorry we missed you guys out there, Had to tend to a friend in crisis hear on the home front.   
 As far as the copper billets I have them keeping an eye out for me down at the scrap yard. You might also check your local steel scrap yard. Often they get some in. And much better then buying new.
 Another trick that I found is to use a steel shaft for most of the weight and cap the end with a large copper end cap. I get one a little bigger then the shaft then melt in the lead around the shaft.

rileyconcrete:
You got it Keenan.  Wish we could have met up.  I have been looking around for quite some time.

Thats funny I was looking on line and calling around today trying to find one as well ;D I think im going to go with a 3" copper plumbing cap filled with lead unless I can find something else They make 4 inch caps but there a little spendy. Nice meeting you at the knap in man
