The first time I saw this video I hated the crushed mug. I re-discovered your channel today and realized I had seen this video, but now I love that one!! Sorry for the "cool story bro" moment but I just wanted to say that even though I mentally trolled you a year ago, I am now wiser and handsomer. Beautiful work!
Amazing craftsmanship David. Reading comments it seems like nobody reads the descriptions though. Whatever keep on making awesome stuff. I enjoy the videos immensely.
Very cool! I really miss working with metal. We had all those tools in metal shop when I was in high school. I recently started making copper bracelets from heavy wire I found, now I got the bug again
Very cool once again. Jimmy was right to tell you to post more on your channel. Also, even though you meet a lot of people at the shop, it was nice meeting you the past July 21st when my family stopped by to see Jimmy and he introduced us to you while you were working on maybe register covers made of wood? Either way. Good meeting you and I really enjoy your projects too. You are very talented.
Just discovered your channel, RUclips recommended it prob because I watch so much jimmy diresta. Love what you did with those mugs. Subscribed keep the videos coming mate
Nice build, cool shop, good skills. I would be freaking out if you were hammering on my Shear but I guess that cool in your shop. Subbed Take care Dave
Making that crushed mug was nice idea but what bothered me it got bit unpractical as the bottom part got so flat. It might trap some gunk there. So I was thinking a solution if someone wish to redo similar mug. One could try puting a bycycles inner tire at the bottom and pump it almost full or cast 1/2" layers of plaster mixed with grainy saw dust. That way crushing can be conrolled. And the layers of plaster don't need to be cured flat. Tilting the mug while the mixture cures might cause nice effect. Innter tire and the plaster can be removed easily from the final product. Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work.
Nice work. I do this stuff also. I have a Pexto double seamer and a circle shear. The bottom piece of copper has to be cut almost exact are it won't work, along with turning a burr on the can portion, tight tolerances only. Thanks for posting.
yes. in fact your body needs copper. but as everything you can have a overdose. but (again) you dont need to worry about that, wont happen just from some mugs and stuff. (last) but try not to use copper stuff for acidic foods because it could/would form copper acetate and thats moderate toxic.
Fairly informative video. One suggestion would be better camera angles. For example, when using the bead roller, we the audience didnt see the rollers or the workpiece being formed.... the camera showed the bottom of the mug from the other side.
Great video Dave. Watch the patina tough...the Paris Green(that s how we call it) is very poisonous. It s toxic and contained in a lot of ancient poisons. Beautiful workmanship...keep up the good work!
Very nice work David, all three looked very convincing, heck you could even tell tales that they belonged to some far reaching relative who was in the civil war not desert storm, looks good is it recommended for drinking from and take it is lead free solder? I’d personally prefer to have the inside plated with something nontoxic (just in case). But lovely job indeed....Phil
Like the peen hammered one best. Loved the one you hit with the dowel, until you crushed it. And I liked them all better before the forced patina. Something that well made should grow its own patina with use. This is, of course just my opinion. beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I'd actually be really interested to see what you and Jimmy could do with metal melting and casting, even though that might not be your thing and his thing. still, I'd love to see some aluminum(or aluminium to the Brits)/brass/bronze/copper castings, and then maybe incorporate them into other works.
David Waelder I would even volunteer to help with that, seeing as I have a little experience in the matter. Id just have to catch a plane to NY, or make a huge road trip out of it.
AHO you only want to avoid acidic foods like tomatoesauce. It's good safe- lead free solder.the crushed one for a plant.. copper has amazing self sterilization properties similar to silver.
I'm watching this even now and it still a stunning piece of work. Love it Dave
Fine work with copper

Beautiful work!
Hahaha!! That's great, and thank you for sharing ! ----and watching again!
I wish I had your tools and your skills. Cool video!
Amazing craftsmanship David. Reading comments it seems like nobody reads the descriptions though. Whatever keep on making awesome stuff. I enjoy the videos immensely.
sounded like a dubstep buildup at 0:32 lmao. half expected a bass drop
Digging that copper work. Keep these videos coming. Doing a great job brother.
Thanks bro!! Appreciate the support.
Nice work man! My fav is the crumpled up one... Looks like Tom Waits would have his morning joe out of that.
Ha- that one holds water believe it or not. Thank you!!
That was a really interesting build to watch! The workshop looks likes full of lots of fun machines too!
Hey David! Was really nice meeting you... Looking forward to see the one you were making the other day... ;)
Peace brother, thank you
Very cool! I really miss working with metal. We had all those tools in metal shop when I was in high school. I recently started making copper bracelets from heavy wire I found, now I got the bug again
I was waiting for you to stop crushing that cup, or at least straighten it back out. Poor thing got nearly turned into scrap. :(
Very cool once again. Jimmy was right to tell you to post more on your channel.

Thank you very much david!
Superb video David, Thank you for that.
I never knew ammonia would do that to copper. I loved the results.
Great.
Cool project. I was confused why you were crushing the mug and then realized you made more than one. Neat idea for all three.
Thank you kindly!

nice to see a true craftsman at work.
Anthony bot thanks for watching
Nice work. I enjoyed metal shop in high school, wish i had done more of it.
Nice mugs. Good skills! Looking for more from you.
Great skills, the crunched cup looks like something a pirate might have used. Thank you
Excelent work. Looks easy with the right tools.
the amount of armour i could make in this shop...unreal amounts of armour...
Outstanding .thanks for taking the time to make the film
Thanks for being here
I really like that first one! The second is elegant and dwarven looking! The third... Um. How can I put this gently? Uh. Shit?
LOVE the ammonia trick! cool mugs
Nice build, cool shop, good skills. I would be freaking out if you were hammering on my Shear but I guess that cool in your shop.
Subbed
Take care
Dave
Completely bad ass.EPIC!!!!!
Wow thank you! Stay tuned
Simply, piece of art. Waiting for next video.
Awesome- carving up some foam right now!

Piękna robota. Zazdroszcze warsztatu...
Great mugs! The crushed one was a bit overcrushed for practical use but that's my opinion. Yet another great vid!
That was cool. Thanks for the video. Gave you a thumbs up.
Very nice mug
Can you provide the manufacturer details or the cleaning process of the copper mug
Please
Love the quick patina.
You should be a prop maker in Hollywood. They need skills like you have.
Thank you Marc- I have done a bunch of prop and set gigs on feature and fashion shoots- money is good - that about it
So awesome, and great video !!!
Must be nice to have all those specialized tools. Some of us do all of this by hand...
Beautiful work - I think I like the banged up one the best of the three...
Hell of a lot of machinery for something traditionally hand made
Awesome. Why belt up the copper sheet before forming it? To help make it look old or to aid in the shaping of it? Thanks !
+Waynos Waynos While it does change the appearance, all the hammer blows work harden the copper, making it stiff.
Nice mugs man
+Mrhollerr thank you!
love your stuff
Thanks Luke
wooow! first time i went into your channel. amazing
Thank you mate!!!
Thanks to show us all this tin tools. Just a small question: is copper food safe?
yes. in fact your body needs copper. but as everything you can have a overdose. but (again) you dont need to worry about that, wont happen just from some mugs and stuff. (last) but try not to use copper stuff for acidic foods because it could/would form copper acetate and thats moderate toxic.
Tenfdy okay, no coke in this cans :-)
Nice video and job ;-)
it was such a nice cup
Nothing beats a hot cup of Ammonia on a cold winter day.
That's a nice mug I made one out of 32 oz and tig welded it. I think I'll make a hammered one now..thanks for the video
Very neat. Your last video gave me an idea for a spoon project. Is the crushed cup still water tight?
Any reason behind the smashed one or just variety? Love the work!
Nice work! Love the final result!
Fairly informative video. One suggestion would be better camera angles. For example, when using the bead roller, we the audience didnt see the rollers or the workpiece being formed.... the camera showed the bottom of the mug from the other side.
Awesome build David! Heard about your channel on the Making It podcast!
Joe
Any chance you would part with the mug on the right in the final shot??
Love it! Keep up the awesome vids!
you should really take a wet rag and wipe that excess solder while it's still hot. looks way better. awesome job btw. great little project
Great video Dave. Watch the patina tough...the Paris Green(that s how we call it) is very poisonous. It s toxic and contained in a lot of ancient poisons. Beautiful workmanship...keep up the good work!
this is what l needed to know
Hell Yeah! These came out great!
Thanks brother
Good morning copper fetish. But seriously you have s lot of talent in that medium.
Sorry I didn't understand the crushing of the glass . What was that ?
Looks like you're ready for some moscow mules! Nice work! What gauge copper did you use?
Great job! You are an artist. What did you use to make the tight bead at the bottom of the first mug? Or should I say which rolls did you use?
What was the tool used to planish the inside bottom of the cup? Any picture of that?
What's the point of crushing the last mug?
Great work. Do you know what number bead roll you used for the bottom of the cup?
Awesome David!
Thank you.
Do you have name for that marking tool your using about 1.15 in the clip i would like one for myself
awesome mugs
Very nice work David, all three looked very convincing, heck you could even tell tales that they belonged to some far reaching relative who was in the civil war not desert storm, looks good is it recommended for drinking from and take it is lead free solder? I’d personally prefer to have the inside plated with something nontoxic (just in case). But lovely job indeed....Phil
increíble job david
holy crap!! WOW!!!
Nice! Thanks for sharing!!

This is, of course just my opinion. beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
great job. but i have to ask, are they safe to drink out of?
Acidic food and drinks daily not so good, water is fine
Ok thanks
I hope that was silver solder! Somebody somewhere will drink out of it.
Why do you crush the mug
Hi David, what you use for welding ?
WOW, amazing!
Thank you David Great Video and project... =O)
Thank you!

Hi David. can I ask you a question: what product do you use to give the appearance of old
to metal?
I'd actually be really interested to see what you and Jimmy could do with metal melting and casting, even though that might not be your thing and his thing.
still, I'd love to see some aluminum(or aluminium to the Brits)/brass/bronze/copper castings, and then maybe incorporate them into other works.
I would love to build an arc furnace soon- I know Jim would be down to cast some hotter metals
David Waelder I would even volunteer to help with that, seeing as I have a little experience in the matter. Id just have to catch a plane to NY, or make a huge road trip out of it.
Artistry. Thanks for the great videos man. You rock.
what is the machine that puts the little bevel in the first cup for the base?
Excuse me sir, but is that lead that which you used to join them cups? Also, ain't that bad?
+pogi09282805724 lead free solder
+David Waelder oh wow, first time to hear that one, many thanks sir!
I can tell there is going to be amazing shit on this channel! Nice work. Film quality and builds are totally pro.
Right on, thank you very much ! I'm having a lot of fun trying to build this channel.
Now I want a Moscow Mule.
Why, WHY did you hit that beautiful smooth copper sheet with a hammer so much??? Did it really need all those dimples?
Wrinkled mug like me more! Funny!
I feel like the crushed mug is a pain in the ass to clean, but I love the design!
Why the crumpled one???
Where did you get the copper sheet ?
Nice very nice,
Bottoms up: cheers
Well thank you david.
Have you drunken out of them? And is there a copper taste when you do?
AHO you only want to avoid acidic foods like tomatoesauce. It's good safe- lead free solder.the crushed one for a plant.. copper has amazing self sterilization properties similar to silver.
Hey man! Nice work!
Legends go that so primitive people did cans.
Very Nice and interessant
What are you using to cut edges at 1:18 ?
