Copper smelting

[TWP]

This site contains a video on primitive copper smelting:

We have copper ore available in the Cascade mountains, if somewhat harder to find.

DO note that copper ores are associated with limestone deposits...

After a SHTF event, and after all the copper wiring has been scavenged, copper will remain a valuable resource.

Excellent! Very good reminder of some of the old ways of doing things.

Had not thought about molding a tube of copper and then drawing it out as wire. Could do similar to make buss bars.

Thank you.
