I have started copper tooling after watching your video, and I just wanted to thank you for the clear instruction and steps. I still haven’t gotten around to figuring out the filling in or patina, but I have really enjoyed this new hobby. Thank you!
Excellent video! You did a great job of explaining how to do it plus gave different options for coloring and mounting. You are inspiring me to create something fun! Thank you 🙏
You are an amazing teacher. Such calm energy and all is explained so well. You are a true inspiration and a fine artist. Thank you for sharing your gift.
Absolutely stunning work and one of the very best demonstrations I’ve seen on RUclips so far! Thank you for this very informative instructions and beautiful art work. I rate this 100%+ love it ❤️
I had one of these made for my now husband. I always wondered how it was done. This is awesome. I'm kinda artsy fartsy so I might take it up. You do wonderful work. Thank you so much for teaching those of us who would like to learn this!
Thank you for all of the great information and ideas - i think your art looks amazing and you've inspired me to try to make a piece to hang on my own wall.
Thank you! Sir, I was diagnosed with a cancer last year and I was recently given a very nice supply of copper shingles as well as some large copper sheet stock. Along with the copper, I was given an antique set of weathervane directional letters, beautiful old sand cast iron. I would like to make a weather vane as a gift to the man that provided me the materials, who also happens to be my best friend. Can you direct me to a book or site that might enable me to embark on this assignment. I do have an artistic mind and common sense mechanical abilities. Thank you, Eric
I have found a little simple trick for tracing and even cutting paint on a wall and ceiling. Don't look directly where your pencil/pen tip is at or even your paint brush. Look ahead on your tracing about 3/4 " to 1". With your paint brush, look ahead about 3". I know that is apples and oranges, but you will find it helps on many things in the art world. When you are tracing and you look directly at your pencil/pen tip, you tend to wiggle and don't get a good traced line. It tends to wiggle. When you look ahead a little you stay right on the line you are tracing, and your trace looks much nicer. Takes very little practice to get it. Try it and see if it works for you. You can try it using carbon between two sheets of paper so you don't waste the copper foil. Just a little something I learned that seems to have helped quite a few people I know.
Do you ever have to anneal the copper on more complex art? I know it work hardens quickly when I doing metal spinning on my wood lathe and needs annealed or it will split or crack.
Hi Gordon. Excellent demonstration. My mother in law made many Copper Tooling pictures over the years, and I recently found her suit case full of drawings and unfinished work, which I would like to now try and complete and finish, as well as start new ones. My question is that a couple of her completed and filled work has tarnished badly, and I am wondering how the best way is of cleaning them up. I don't want to ruin them. They are a sort of green colour, as they have sat in a suitcase for 20 years or so since last touched. Should I just use steel wool or should I use a liquid cleaner of some kind. I would love to hear from you. Pam Holmes
Great demonstration! years a go my mother was a master at this art type and specialized in horse art. What gauge copper metal do you use to do this art with? I have my mothers variety old tools and would like to give it a try again. I did it in high school class many years ago, a lot of fun!
What type of filling do you recommend that doesn’t smell? I read reviews that acrylic modeling paste can smell bad too. I have bad lungs so need to be careful. Thanks!
When I taught kids at school I mixed white glue with sawdust and that worked pretty well. I don't find modelling paste to be smelly but it's more expensive then glue and sawdust.
Tynulox Pure Copper Metal Foil Roll 0.2mm x 50mm x 1M 110 copper sheet roll on Amazon. I usually order a roll that is about a foot wide and 5 ft long so I can get several out of it.
I’ve had to redo things up to six times, I am usually successful don’t give up. Besides I’ve learned more from my failures that I can use across the board.
I forgot we did this in school. So I'm glad I found this because it reminded me of how much fun we had doing this.

I wondered what gauge copper sheet you used? Is there a range you recommend? Very informative video. Thanks!
It would be great to know the gauge of the copper sheet and the type of glue you would use to glue it down to the barn board. Otherwise great video.
I bought it from Amazon. They don't tell you the gauge but it's 0.2 mm
Thank you for the video. Hope you are doing fine. We need more tutorial videos please.
fantastic tutorial! thank you!!
what thickness/gauge copper foil would you advise? thanks
I am also wondering this…did you figure out what gauge/mm works best by any chance?
Beautiful!

So Nice work ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Sir
Really informative. Hope you do some more. Thanks

Nice, just wondering how to use this to make an outdoors house sign without losing the patina
I would spray the copper with a good outdoor clear vanish to protect it from the elements

I would try steel wail (fine) if that doesn't work maybe a copper pot cleaner of some kind. Good luck!
Have you tried uv clear gloss resin hard to fill the back, remove resin air bubbles with resin heat gun , and uv resin lamp dry!
Could I have some more teaching thanks for all your help
Hi what size thickness is the copper sheet? I gotna 0.4mm it's way to thick
I am also interested in thickness before buying the foil. Do you think 0,07 mm would do it ( it is less then 1 mm)?
Great demonstration! years a go my mother was a master at this art type and specialized in horse art. What gauge copper metal do you use to do this art with? I have my mothers variety old tools and would like to give it a try again. I did it in high school class many years ago, a lot of fun!
Yes what guage do you use of copper my copper is roll and seems when I rub it it peels a bit and silver can be seen?????
What type of filling do you recommend that doesn’t smell? I read reviews that acrylic modeling paste can smell bad too. I have bad lungs so need to be careful. Thanks!
When I taught kids at school I mixed white glue with sawdust and that worked pretty well. I don't find modelling paste to be smelly but it's more expensive then glue and sawdust.
Great Video, do you do portraits in copper ?
That would be really cool to see! 👍🏼
Any ideas about the thickness of the foil? Would 0,1 mm or 0.07 mm do it?
Do you have the patterns that you are showing and are they avaiable for download, would gladly purchase them from you. Nice work enjoyed the video
Interested in the same! I was struggling to find good printable pictures like this that wasn’t cutesie for kids. Would be happy to pay for this :)
What gauge are these copper sheets?
where did you get that felt peice?
Best 15 seconds of my scrolling time....ha ha ha.
that was perfect😍😍😍
Hi can you please tell me what 5he name of the stuff you used to do the colour please
Where did you get the drawings of the animals?
Sir mujhe ye metal ka part chahiye kaha milega kya name hai
Could you not use either side for the front? As long as there's no writing why would it matter? Awesome video by the way!!
Thank you

lovely craft, great video
Five thousandths (0.005") copper sheet is what I use!
Lasts longer than any painting :)
For how much you can sell this
Only use epoxy glue copper to wood😊
