I used to make custom work like this but in the shop. No way I could do all that work on a roof. In the shop I had all I needed. I'd get work orders with drawings and dimensions and do it all. Then it was up to to customer to install it. It was a lot of fun working with copper. Layout was my fav, especially if it was a challenge! I still keep in touch with my ex-boss and he has me come down to the shop to help him out once in a while. Nice job guys.
A++ so cool how you pleated the valley. I did two just like them used all the same methods except I soldered the valley / tiein to the main flange . I took a premaid piece of copper drip edge and crimped it till it fit the front rake edge and then rolled my panels onto it. They are in Cleveland heights. I drive by and look at them now and again. Very proud of them. You did a beautiful job in yours.
Nice work, I tell clients all the time proper metal work shouldn't rely on caulk or a solder. Many times with sloped roofing it just takes a bit more effort and experience. Great details
I don't really compliment much unless it's amazing craftsmanship..... IT'S A MUST TO COMPLIMENT A MAN IN HIS CRAFTSMANSHIP SKILL!!!! AWESOME WORK! CHEERS & Pro$perity from Los Angeles
You did a fantastic job. And working over the slate which you installed before you were able to do the copper, off of ladders was a challenge to not break them and cause more work.
I saw it was another comment: any chance we can get a video on the pleated valley? And also on the sweeps at the corners of the dormer? I’m a 20 year carpenter just getting into copper work and would LOVE to know how to begin on these techniques.
Such a beautiful job on the slate roof, can’t wait to see your copper work & hopefully my kind of solder job , I will let you know! 20 oz heavy duty! Beautiful work but I am the man on radios valley work & soldering!
You mentioned the panels are locked into the step flashing. Does this become and problem with expansion as the copper heats up and cools in summer and winter for the metal to become stressed? I have always allowed the two to move independently from each other as the roof will expand more or less from whatever the dormer will.
Hi Jenkins Slate Masters, great work and nice details. I'm trying to figure out how to flash the corner where the side wall and head wall detail meets. This is for a 4/12 roof that will be 1" double lock standing seam copper. I've looked at all the details on copper.org, but I can't figure out how that corner would work. Any suggestions? Thank you! I like the vibe of this more technical video! hope to see more videos!
No offense intended, but working at that height without proper scaffolding set up is stupidity, all it takes is one mistake and your serious injured or the inevitable will happen . What price do you put on someone’s life? Top class work by the way but please stay safe man.
Fantastic job. Was there a reason you didn't want to solder the valley panels? I would have flat seamed the valley segments over the radius panels, but I'm always looking for different way to tackle things. The total hours for just this copper work must have been over 300 hours? Looks great.
It's not necessarily the easiest process to explain verbally, but the jist of it is as follows: 1) find the curve of the eclipse and transfer it to something flat. 2) Fold some paper along that curve 3) transfer your folds to the copper. 4) bend the copper (be careful not to over stress it in areas) 5) install
They make a much better tool for arching standing seam metal, I rented the tool for the panel and the cap from place I'm Michigan. Tool was awsome. You stand the metal on its side and it goes through a series of rollers and comes out the other end with whatever pitch arch that you dial into it by cranking a handle on top that moved the rollers. The tool rented for a $100 per day for each. But we'll worth the money. You could arch that panel I'm less than 5 minutes, without any variation. Each piece matched perfectly. We did an arch that measured 45 feet up the sides and over the top...just trying to help, I've used the shrinker/stretched before and it sucks compared to the tool I'm referring to..anyway good luck to ya, looked pretty good. One more thing, fir that arched 90 degree bend you didn't show how you did that, I used a hand roller that cam bend 90 cegree over an arch quick like..another cool tool..
Joe, it's Trapasso, Again. Your guys completely misplaced most of the step flashings. Also, there was no reason to slit the flashing around the rear of the dormer to the roof. Use a 3 x 8 sheet of copper and cut the curve pattern. It ean then be soldered to the final sheet of the barrel dormer. Nice Vermont slate, though. Joe, you read my article on Step Flashings. What's going on now?
Nice job! Where are you located? I do a tremendous amount of work on houses that need a good deal of copper. If you are my area private message me and maybe we can work together. It’s hard to find someone who knows what they are doing. Keep safe
From a retired roofer Fantastic work...
Roofing is an art. These guys are probably the best artists I've seen.
old school copper work, I learn this from my father in law and did a lot of copper work on churches when I lived back in Poland 20 years ago

I too am a coppersmith/ tinknocker.. I enjoy and recognize quality. Well done
That is a beautiful piece of art work. You take pride in your work and learned from the best. Thank you fir sharing this Orion.
Thank you for the comment!
Impressed how you incorporated a lock into the pleated valley. Very nice

Should never rely on caulk but sometimes solder work even on pitch.

Thanks!
looks amazing. nice work! makes me want to learn how to do copper.. love the bon iver soundtrack too.
Leadworker myself . Nice job .true craftsman
Would have liked to see you working close up doing the bends and cuts. Still cool though
Quality craftsmanship on this project!
Wow, the very definition of craftsman. Thank you
Thank you!
Nice craftsmanship. That should stand the test of time.👍🏻
You did a fantastic job. And working over the slate which you installed before you were able to do the copper, off of ladders was a challenge to not break them and cause more work.
Great Job !! I would have liked to see how the flashing under the slate was fabricated and installed.
Beautiful work...I love working with metal but I really want to learn how to work with copper especially on what you do...
Nice Work....craftsman taking pride in workmanship!
Those dormers would look great completely coppered . I like your work im currently doing flat copper roof , interlocking soldered and bridged panels.
Very nice job.
Sehr gut gemacht.
Excellent work fellas

Class act all the way down to the music. Thank you!
Beautifully done !

They are flat-locked onto the step flashing. There is still room for movement/expansion and contraction.
Beautiful job. True craftsmen
Nice work!!!
Love the stretcher I use downspout crimps
Quality work!!

昔の人は良く、やったな〜凄い！。今から銅板で同じ事をするんですね！銅板用のアールに曲げる機械が有るんですね。1枚で同じアールにする仕事！。素晴らしいです❣️日本では化粧仕事です。現場当たりで大変な仕事なんですね！
What is name of the machine?
Great work!
How did u do the valley ?
What brand is ur shrinker strecher ?
I believe it's a Lancaster.
Eckold is the best!

A continuous, pleated valley piece will last a lifetime. Soldered individual pieces can crack over time. Thanks for you comment!
yeah, looks great i need to know how much? $$$$$ :)
Expensive... : )
I'd love to see more on how to measure, mark, and fold that continuous pleating. I can't quite wrap my head around that one...

Did u fold copper behind up to the wall front of dormer or u just slide the copper strip
nice Video👌look at my copper shingles🤘
Totally awesome job guy's.
Now that's true art.
Thanks
I love that!! 10/10

How dop you make that pleated valley, do you have any diagrams you'd be willing to share?
I'm not impressed with the scaffolding boys
I was just about to comment "Where the f**ks the scaffold?"
Don’t need one
Its a verticle standing seam. There is no chance of water penetration essentially. With the old install. Its npt even copper.
Great job fine craftsmanship
MAGNIFICO !
Thats galvanized. Painted. Or I should wait for the video to progress?
Joe, it's Trapasso, Again. Your guys completely misplaced most of the step flashings. Also, there was no reason to slit the flashing around the rear of the dormer to the roof.

Stunning work but fuck doing that off ladders! In UK we call that 'risk it for a biscuit' lol
What did this require time wise? I'm guessing for the video 6 days with 2 guys?
Beautiful
20 oz.? 16 oz. should be fine for that roof. I like you have the stretching and shrinker tool nice job.
20oz is less likely to tear when stretching the seam.
Nice job!
Where are you located?
I do a tremendous amount of work on houses that need a good deal of copper.
If you are my area private message me and maybe we can work together.
It’s hard to find someone who knows what they are doing.
Keep safe
Western Pa, but we travel almost anywhere.
Amazing work, a shame you guys are on the other side of the pond!
This is amazing
Thank you
DAY TWO...HOT ROOF = GLOVES. oVERCAST WITH winds.looks GREAT, DID SO MANY...WHAT TO do NOW ?
Where’s your handrail
Outstanding
If you took fluted trim off front you could of locked corner of front wrap
What brand is that stretcher
This is how it’s done properly
Nice job men ....is this in Amerika?
Yes it is.
@@jenkinsslatemasters9184 please new videos
Nice work
Guys like this needed in Austin. Contact me!
Beautiful.
I’m surprised the male side stretches slower than the female for you. I find it to be the opposite
nice job broda , i really hope you using an arness .. looks like you was very high , and close as fuck to the edge .. take care mate
WHAT NO. SCAFFOLDING ,,,!!! HOW. DANGEROUS,,
that's real pretty!
Anothers master👏
Not criticism though you do good work its just what I do to second gen.tinner
Rooves? .... interesting
Should of soldered a back band 2 piece
Nice work but your step flashing is wrong.
schlebach rbm. Makes work easier
Hi how much do you charge them,for that copper work,...hhaahahhehehheheh,..
The valley should have been soldered! Dah !!
What a horrible job they did , I’m a metal roofer and that looks like hell . I couldn’t walk away from a job like that . Shame on them , great job tho
Paint over copper..? That should be illegal
It’s a binder not a stretcher 😂, put some fall pro one the kid if you don’t care about you. Nice work
I live in Pittsburgh if you guys are hiring please give me a shout out
I like your work,I do not agree with your safety measures though,that is extremely high and not a worker with any fall protection.
Wow
3000 vs. $25000
We are dolanroofing based indublin ireland award winning uk and irish co inbusiness 50 years learened from the best george hammond
Love me some soldier.
Cost about 15000!🤔
ewerything o.k.
but finger prints must wash aut.
looks like a very poor system to say the least !!!!
wow they wasted a superior metal with almost first-timer workmanship.
let me guess. You're a solder jockey. Let's see your work!
Nice work
