  2. Copper melts are amazing to me, to think it gets to a temperature that you'd make a steak into charcoal within moments – for the blades it depends what tools you got about… rotary tool / dermal a notch into the copper handles, use the holes as drill points for the handles and use brass dowel pins to beat them secure to one another – either way mate good luck – best of luck with the next stages.
