[TheForge] Forging bronze

[Jeff Wilson]

Andy,
Ryan forges a lot of bronze.  He says bronze does not respond to heat and 
quench as copper does.  Heat to dull red, too hot and you will have a liquid 
puddle in the bottom of the forge. Stop when it feels stiff. I forgot to ask 
what alloy they typically use in the shop, Steve Lopes Blacksmith.  Your 
results may vary, so try it and tell us what you learn.

Good luck,
Jeff
Near Poulsbo where it is snowing goose feathers
My son is the Blacksmith.
