BR, I ran accross an old article about bait knives in an old issue of Wooden Boat. The guy was making them out of Berylium Copper. You ever heard about it? It said it was the hardest non ferus metal available. I looked around for about two months, met some neat people during the hunt, including a silver smith and a manufature of copper lamps, got some strange looks(it is an alpha emiters/radiactive), and finally gave up. In the article it made a great bait knife. (big hint for Christmas gifts for all your V-20 friends)
Never heard of it but that sounds pretty cool. I'm thinking it would be expensive given the cost of copper these days.

Speaking of copper lamps - thats pretty much what I do. Not so much lamps as much as landscape lighting - post lanterns, wall lanterns, hanging lanterns, custom work etc.

Here's a link to a customer of mine. I made the lanterns, signs, and a custom porch light you can't see in the link. My website (copperlighting.com) is down right now for refurb but using it I've had customers in close to 20 states over the last 10 years.
