I just came across your channel. Great job.
Thanks for the compliment. I hope you have the opportunity to hammer out some of your own. Thanks, Brent
Very nice.
Very nice job on the Ladle. Enjoyed.
Randy, the ladles have been my first time working in copper. Challenging but fun. Thanks, Brent
that's a big ladle be good for my camp Chile
I've now made several of those ladles. I haven't brought myself to use one, they are too pretty. :) I'm suffering the same thing with a garden set I forged. Thanks for watching, Brent
@@brentboykin9493 I I I I make fire place, camp and BBQ tools Just can’t make money at it. I think marketing is my problem You do beautiful work
Love the ladle and the forge marks add to the piece. Thank you.
Thank you. I've found that if I strike a littler harder than necessary on the last pass the hammer marks show up on the inside as well. Thanks for watching, Brent
this thing is perfect. good work brother
Thanks so much. I hope you make one of your own. Thanks, Brent
Hi. I’m Brent as well
Well great to meet you Brent. I hope you enjoy the videos. Thanks for stopping by, Brent
I do enjoy the videos! Really loved your technique in the box jaw tongs video
And this is why they cost so much. Great video.
I’m glad you enjoyed. Yes very little material, but labor intensive. Start to finish this took 4 hours but the video process slows it down a lot. Thanks for watching, Brent
Badass Brent! Looking Great!
Glad I found your channel!
I’m glad you found it too Pat. Thanks for watching, Brent
I love your channel, Keep up the videos!
Thank you for the kind compliment. I hope to keep at it, I love the projects, I’m ok with the video recording, dread the editing. Glad you are enjoying. Thanks for watching, Brent
Very neat job well done, a little curve / scroll on the end of the handle would set it of nicely .
I've actually tried that, I haven't been successful in getting it to look right. I'll make another run at it. Thanks for watching, Brent
Fantastic job brother, enjoyed this video so much. Hope to visit your shop one day and find out how you keep it so clean and tidy. Be richly blessed this day.
Thank you kind Sir. You are certainly welcome but trust me, it's all about the camera angle 😃. Thanks, Brent
Very nice work 👍
Thank you! Hope you enjoyed the video, Brent
Fascinating to see you upset it so much.. would have figured it be easier to melt and cast back as a flat sheet..
I've done a bit of metalshaping for motorcycles - gas tanks, etc. In that context, the "wrinkles" are called "tucks." It's important to say that you work these wrinkles/tucks from the center outward, as you show in the video. Otherwise, it's very easy to create a fold that is a complete PITA to get out.
Thanks for the input. Yes I have fought a few what I now know are tucks. This copper is a whole new thing for me. Thanks for watching, Brent
If you sink your bowls/ladles starting at the edge and working inward toward the center you can avoid creating tucks completely. Once you have the general shape and depth you want you can switch to center out if you prefer.
@@Taitius Thanks for the guidance, I will give it a try. Thanks for watching, Brent
@@Taitius Yes, that's true. The method shown in the video is a "shrink" method. The method you describe, is a "stretch" method. When you hammer tucks in on themselves (down into a cavity) the metal gets thicker, and takes up less surface area, thus *pulls* up the edges into a dome or bowl. When you hammer on the rim (over a hard stake or buck), it gets thinner and expands, and needs somewhere to go, so it *pushes* up a dome or bowl. It's difficult to imagine why they're different, but they are. It would be very interesting to try both methods starting with the same size disk. I expect that the shrink method will result in a smaller, stouter bowl, and the stretch method will result in a thinner, larger bowl. I guess we'll never know unless someone tries that out on camera, for science. :)
@@Alanbataar I'm still talking about sinking using a depression though. Instead of sinking from the center out, you sink little by little starting along the rim. It works best if you start with a more shallow depression than the final one. It is not a technique I have used often and I never paid attention to the effect on thickness along the rim, so I can't speak to that part.
Ok ill have to do this before the hook.
I’m glad you liked it but I hope you still do both. They’re a lot of fun. Thanks for watching, Brent
Hey man where can I find those balls wedges or at lease the balls so I can make the sledge…. Thanks
