The sound of the changes in the bowl are good to know. There is one thing that I think could be very advantageous to you. After watching several of your videos on making bowls. Perhaps in finding a way to hold the wood block secure so you don't have to keep moving it and it doesn't bounce around on you each time. This may give you a much better strike surface. Comparing it to the anvil as a strike surface.
Roy when going to beat copper you anneal first & then throughout the process???? Do you have to do any heat work @ the end of the project??? Final question, what temperatures do you anneal at. Thanks Hugo, N. Ireland
Awesome video I have been using 6mm copper rod to make solid rivets in my tongs, shovel handles, rake handles etc. Will listen to see if I can hear the difference next time I'm peening a rivet. Would you normally anneal a rivet or not necessary? I haven't annealed any of my rivets so far and they are all going strong still.
I am thinking about buying 1/4 inch copper round bar for pins in the handle of my machete. Are your pins still holding up? I get pretty rough with my machete, but intend to use two pins, so I have decent expectations. But have no one who can personally vouch for them.
Thanks great video I'm interested in making some copper bowls this will be very helpful . I will have to order my copper what gauge will I need for that?
Great job as always Roy I’ve been doing some copper work the last couple of weeks and I’m enjoying it very much, I do have a question about soft faced hammers for you though I have some 3 1/2” round bar probably 3’ long but it’s not just mild steel and its not hardenable either it’s SA-739 B11 it looks like it has a lot of chrome in it I think it would make a good soft faced hammer it will last longer than mild steel but still not be to hard for hitting hardened tools, please research it some if you would and let me know your thoughts on the material,thank you and have a blessed day
Morning Roy! Great coffee video! I actually do have a question and I'm sure others wonder and it has likely been asked and answered before. Is there a downside to working copper hot... I ask because when the group was at County Line Forge in March, Hans and his son had me help them make a Large Copper Moabo and we worked it hot. Didn't seem to be a problem.
Actually on something that big and solid I would think you would want to work it hot! where as copper sheet like Roy does is a little more forgiving maybe?
The big problem with working copper hot is the conductivity, if you can hold the piece comfortably with tongs it's no problem, but a big bowl or rod that you can't hold with tongs will heat up the qhole item, no matter how small the spot you actually heat.
@@SamTownsBladesmith ahhh, see yeahman the big copper Skull was pretty much moved onto a striking anvil and worked with top tools and a striker. It is on Charming Hollow Forge's channel.
The big issue is correctly pointed out. It is the awkwardness of holding sheet with tongs. Heat conductivity does not really matter because the gloves determine the conductance to the fingers. Amazingly, steel holds more heat tan copper (specific heat)
@@glenndarilek520 i was more talkiang about the fact that you can hot work steel sheet as the heat doesn't conduct through the material very well, whereas the whole sheet of copper will heat up, even when heated in a small area. Thus the necessity of tongs
eventually, I will try forging copper! I've done a couple of coin rings and some spoon rings and those need annealed after every step! This is due to the stress of trying to turn a coin inside out! or trying to turn spoons into a tight loop!

Thanks for a great vis as usual, God bless!
Thank you, God bless you
Thank you for this great video!
I need to get me some of this copper and try a bowl or two. Thanks for the video Roy.
Yes
I made a skewer from a thick piece of copper wire today. Your video helped a ton.

Nice video, Roy!

Nice info for the brain. ⚒ on!!
Great demo
Very revealing. Good video

Can you do a video on copper garden tools how to make them how to make hard, thank you
Thanks Roy for the very helpful info! Does it seem to make much difference working copper into a concave form versus over a dome?
Awesome video I have been using 6mm copper rod to make solid rivets in my tongs, shovel handles, rake handles etc. Will listen to see if I can hear the difference next time I'm peening a rivet.

How about composite products? God bless!
Thanks great video I'm interested in making some copper bowls this will be very helpful . I will have to order my copper what gauge will I need for that?
I believe he uses between 1/16" to 1/8" thick, not sure what gauge it is.

That was really neat hearing the change in sound. Thanks for sharing this and have a super day!

i hear copper garden tools have a beneficial effects for gardening, how would you make a spade or hoe with strength ?
You could probably cast one with supportive ridges (like how bronze swords and spears have a thicker cross section in the middle)
Lol
Wtf
I want to make pot.. Can you help me about that. Can you give your facebook id name.. I will send you massage
No.
