Brass vs Copper strength
Ernie Miller Topeka
>So I am building this little plane little is the word here I need a for lack of a better word a lever cap to hold a wedge in place. I spent the morning at the scrap iron yard and could not find a suitable peice of brass. But I did find some nice 1/2" thick bar of copper will this stuff be way to short to hols a wedge in place for a 1 1/4" wide blade? I did manage to pick up some nice brass kick plates and some 5/8 aluminum bar stocl also but think this copper would look better. so what do you say YA or NA?
