really like the forge! I've also made a charcoal driven furnace but I've yet to melt copper. I've tried once but the coal burned up too fast. what kind of coal are you using?

@doinen Do you mean you use the kind of charcoal meant for BBQ grills? That does burn too fast, I used it too when I first started out. You need to find real coal, the kind used to heat buildings and generate electricity. It will burn much hotter and much longer than charcoal.

What do you use as a "cup" for the molten copper?

@R1pperB, we use what's called a "crucible." It is made of clay and graphite and can be bought from a company called Rio Grande for about $50.

wow how long did that take to cool down? and what did you guys use to get the fire that hot? just barbeque coals and bellows?

It doesn't take a long time to freeze...about thirty or forty seconds. Cooling takes 30 minutes or so, but we usually wait about five and then quench the ingot in water.
To get the fire to 2400+ Fahrenheit, we use coal (not barbecue charcoal) and a bellows (an old leaf blower or bathroom vent fan works fine). Nothing else is needed.
