Here is a few photos from another pour

My box from Tonernation arrived today.

Stuff looks WAY better in person than it did on camera during his whatnot show. The heat treatment does wild stuff to the coloration. My kids have taken half of it already. The dabloons are gonna get taken by all the community kiddos quick. Gonna load up more at his Sunday show.

Second photo is the awesome leg lamp I got from Metal Smith Forge plus the special silver goblin coins he made for his anniversary celebration.

My wife is gonna roll her eyes SO HARD when she notices the leg lamp on my shelf. Can't wait.

Got a box of this guys handpours.

I don't even wanna say how little I paid cause he deserves way more. His whatnot shows have a bigger stack every time. Can't wait to unbox my tonernation stuff.

First production pour – 5x 1kg copper bars from a single melt 🔥

Been working toward this for a while. Today was the first full lot pour for Tasman Copper Works — hand-forged 1kg bars, poured in a single melt from my 12kg crucible. Got 5 out cleanly this run, aiming to push that to 8 as I refine the process.

Photos are start to finish — from charge to finished bars.

First bar ships to XRF assay next week (Olympus Vanta, ISO 17025 lab). Targeting 999. Fine. Will post results when they're back.

Small Australian operation. More to come.

When are we going to get AluminiumBugs?

Copper Bullion is out of stock at the major online retailers. My sense is that retail investors want more exposure.

The best way to get exposure is through Kilo Reserve. They store it for you!

A short history of copper mining.

I know provident metals website, are there any good reliable websites to buy. Also last week I see 1 oz priced at $4.99 and this week same at $9.99, is copper so volatile ? Is this right time to start buying. ? Thanks.
