Copper

Post by scmoose »

Any idea where to find a flat piece of copper or something to repurpose big enough for a mason jar lid?

Found a solution to my problem. Had a roll of 3 1/2” stainless shim stock in the warehouse.

Could always cut a piece of 1", anneal it and flatten it out then cut it to shape.

Cut/anneal/flatten pipe, it’s really quick, fun, and kind of addicting. You’ll be making Christmas ornaments before you know it.
