I’m smelting ore!

I got into creating my own rings, and I’d really like to create one with ore I harvest myself. Gold is too hard and silver can be kinda dangerous, but malachite is pretty safe and I can just drive to Copperopolis to pick some up.

Basically: smelt the malachite with flux and charcoal to get pure copper, flow that into an ingot mold, hammer it into shape. Then I’ll have my own ring, with metal I collected with my own hands
