[Woodcarver] melting copper

[Byron]

Rather than trying to use a copper bottom, you might want to look at a cane/walking stick tip from the woodturners catalog.  http://www.woodturnerscatalog.com/cgi-bin/shopper

These tips have a stainless steel point for walking on dirt and a rubber tip that screws over the steel tip for floors and other hard surfaces.

Just my $.02 worth.

My sister is making a walking stick for me and wants to put a copper bottom on it.  I’m thinking a copper band would be better, with a non-skid bottom.  She wants to know if there’s a way she can melt the copper at home?
