[TheForge] Copper Brushes

[Jerry Frost]

Use a piece of copper electrical wire (cable?) as in "el cheapo extension
cord".

Strip the insulation back and frizz the end a little. Use like a brass
brush.

If you want a bigger brush, twist as many pieces together as it takes.

If it ain't forged
it ain't real.
Wrought iron is.
