	I have followed this group scince it first appeared on my
server.I have only received nine posts (my gas forge questions,
the responses thereto, and a multiplicity of requests as to the
purpose of the group). Am I missing something? Send me notes.
	I would also like to thank Mr. Hoopes for the info he sent me.
I have just aquired two coal forges, and am building a gas forge
with a friend. Has anyone out there worked with traditional
mokume-gane of copper alloys? What would be a good source for the
different copper alloys? Also, what should I pay for a good anvil.
New? Used?
	Also, although I acknowledge the existance of many fine metal
working texts, I would reccomend as a general guide Jewelry:
Contemporary Design and Technique, by Chuck Evans. It emphasises
different materials and exiting new options (for those who are not
sponsored by the Tsar, and provided with gold and precious stones)
