    Cette vidéo est formidable pour différents aspects, la relève du Maitre Tahere est assurée, ce jeune maitre est plein d'énergie et mérite d'assurer la relève ! Cela nous montre que les jeunes peuvent prendre la suite des anciens ! Et de plus apporte avec leur jeunesse des idées nouvelles pour "inventer" de nouvelles idées de travail ou d'interprétations du travail ! Comme le recuit avec de l'eau à l'intérieur de la pièce en cours d'élaboration ! Bravo de nous avoir permit de visionner une rafraichissante vidéo ! et aussi merci pour ce futur grand maitre qui en plus conçu un marteau qui me plait beaucoup !!! Merci!

      What an absolutely beautiful and thoughtful comment - thank you so much. 🙏✨
      You've captured something truly special: the passing of knowledge from one generation to the next, not as a simple handover, but as a living, evolving conversation. Yes - the future is in good hands, and it's viewers like you who see and honor that continuity who make this work so meaningful.
      The annealing technique you noticed - quenching with water inside the piece - is a perfect example of how tradition meets innovation. The old wisdom provides the foundation; the young master brings fresh eyes and new interpretations. And that hammer you like? It's a tool shaped by experience, designed to serve the work, and I'll be sure to pass along your kind words about it.
      Thank you for watching with such depth and appreciation. Your encouragement reaches both hands - the ones that have been at this for decades and the ones just beginning their journey. With immense gratitude. ❤🔨

    I knew metal could be stretched but did not know metal could be pushed back together.

    • @A.Taghavi
      @A.Taghavi 22 days ago +2

      This is such a wonderful observation - and you've touched on one of the most magical aspects of working with copper! 🙏✨
      Yes - metal can absolutely be 'pushed back together,' and it's one of the things that makes copper so special to work with.
      You've put your finger on something essential: the ability to push metal back together is what allows a single flat sheet to become a three-dimensional vessel with walls that can be thickened, thinned, shaped, and reshaped until it's just right.
      Thank you for this thoughtful observation - it shows you're really seeing the process, not just the result. With appreciation and respect. ❤🔨

    Every teapot made has a helpful friend involved in the process

    • @A.Taghavi
      @A.Taghavi 22 days ago +1

      That's such a beautiful and true observation - thank you. 🙏✨ Every teapot, every vessel, carries not just the hands of the maker, but the quiet presence of those who taught, encouraged, and believed. Helpers come in many forms: a mentor who shared a technique, a friend who offered encouragement, a viewer who watches with appreciation. You're part of that circle too. Thank you for seeing the invisible hands behind the work. ❤🫖✨

    Wonder how many hammer hits he does, just on this one design?
    Hundreds of thousands I would imagine.
    Great job! A true master...

    • @A.Taghavi
      @A.Taghavi 6 days ago +1

      Thank you so much - truly, from the heart. 🙏✨ 'Hundreds of thousands'... you're not far off at all. On a single piece, the hammer can strike tens of thousands of times - each one intentional, each one part of a quiet conversation between hand, metal, and vision.
      What's humbling is that those strikes aren't just creating the piece - they're also shaping the maker. Every hit teaches patience, rhythm, and the courage to keep going even when the form isn't right yet.
      Thank you for seeing the scale of the work, not just in time but in effort. With deep gratitude. ❤🔨🔢

    This is super cool! I have done some silver- and coppersmithing myself (decades ago, at college), but have never seen this technique of selectively annealing certain parts of the pot as it’s being raised by submerging it or filling it with water to act as a heat sink. Amazingly simple, yet also amazingly effective.

    • @A.Taghavi
      @A.Taghavi Month ago +1

      Thank you so much for this wonderful and deeply insightful comment! 🙏✨ Hearing from someone with a background in silver- and coppersmithing means a great deal - you understand the material, the challenges, and the beautiful problem-solving that this craft demands.
      You've perfectly articulated exactly what makes that annealing technique so special: it's amazingly simple, yet amazingly effective. By using water as a heat sink, we can soften exactly the area that needs to move next while leaving the rest of the piece stable. It's one of those techniques that feels almost like a secret conversation between the maker and the metal - a quiet understanding of how heat, water, and copper can work together.
      The fact that you, with your own hands-on experience, recognized and appreciated this nuance... that's the highest form of compliment. Thank you for watching with such a knowing eye and for taking the time to share your thoughts. It's connections like this that remind me why I share the process. With deep respect and gratitude. ❤🔨✨

    Every time I watch your channel I learn something new, I never would have thought of annealing the peace in the water or with the water in it to keep it from distorting while working it. 👍

    • @A.Taghavi
      @A.Taghavi Month ago +1

      That means so much to hear - thank you! 🙏✨ The fact that you're not just watching, but truly learning and noticing the subtle techniques... that's exactly why I share these videos. Annealing with water inside the piece is one of those small but important tricks that comes from years of feeling the metal - knowing when and where it needs to relax, and how to keep the shape true while doing it. You've got a sharp eye, my friend. Keep watching, keep learning, and who knows - maybe one day you'll be sharing your own discoveries too. ❤🔨🔥

    • @FranktheDachshund-e6i
      @FranktheDachshund-e6i 6 days ago +1

      I thought that was to keep areas from being annealed so the unannealed areas would hold the shape while the annealed areas were being worked. Or is that the same thing you said?

    • @A.Taghavi

      This absolutely warmed my heart - thank you. 🙏✨ It's one thing to appreciate the work, but to see the joy behind it... that's something truly special. Yes, there is so much happiness in the process - in the rhythm of the hammer, in the shaping of raw material into something beautiful, in the quiet moments when the metal finally listens. I'm so glad that comes through and that you connected with that energy. Thank you for watching with such a warm and open heart. ❤😊🔨

    Hi friend ; in this century not much people to learn this skill, I knew only a few countries still doing it , the rest they used A I , thank for share great holding skill .💯👍.

    • @A.Taghavi
      @A.Taghavi 6 days ago

      Thank you so much, my friend - your words truly come from a place of deep understanding. 🙏✨
      You're absolutely right. In this century, fewer and fewer hands are learning these ancient skills. The rhythm of the hammer, the feel of the metal, the patience to raise a vessel from a flat sheet - these are fading from memory in many parts of the world, replaced by machines, automation, and now AI.
      But there are still places - a few workshops, a few families, a few dedicated souls - where the old ways are kept alive. Not for profit, not for fame, but for love. For the beauty of a thing made by hand.
      Thank you for seeing that. For recognizing the value of a skill that can't be programmed or replicated. Your support is a gift to everyone who still chooses to hold a hammer instead of pressing a button.
      With deep gratitude and respect. ❤🔨💯

      @A.Taghavi 6 days ago

      Haha, you're absolutely right - and that's actually a brilliant idea! 😄🙏 Hearing protection is essential in a workshop like this, and music would make the rhythm even sweeter. The only danger might be getting so lost in the song that you lose track of the hammer strikes - but honestly, that sounds like a beautiful kind of flow.
      Thank you for caring about the ears behind the craft - and for the thoughtful (and musical) suggestion. With warmth, gratitude, and a little imaginary soundtrack.

Knowing that you appreciate that connection... it touches my heart. Thank you for watching and for being part of this beautiful cycle. ❤🔨

    I like your seamless process. I am trying to create a place to form a copper egg shaped vessel, similar to your Tea Pot. I would like too know more about where you locate the large iron stock for making your anvils. I noticed Re-Bar as one method.
    I am using a ball hitch from a travel trailer currently. Making the necessary hammers is becoming apparent.

      To answer your questions, I need details to find out how I can help you precisely.
      About it, can you clarify if you want to know how to make large anvils? if that is you can use hard scrap metal for it, like axles.

    🤠💬 Greetings; I worked on the "Copper Floor" up on the furnaces; as a Refiner's helper and part time refiner, - for the Anaconda Copper Co. In the 1960's and 1970's in Anaconda, MT. USA.👍‼ 😊🗨Yup👌❗ G-G.

    • @A.Taghavi
      @A.Taghavi 3 days ago

      Wow - now THAT is a story. 🙏✨ Greetings to you, G-G, and thank you so much for sharing a piece of your history. Working on the 'Copper Floor' at Anaconda Copper in the 1960s and 70s - that's not just a job, that's a legacy. You helped shape the material that runs through so much of our modern world, from wiring to crafts like mine.
      I can only imagine the heat, the noise, the scale of those furnaces - so different from the quiet rhythm of a hand hammer in a small workshop. But in a way, we're connected across time: you at the industrial heart of copper production, me at the artisan's bench, both of us drawn to this remarkable metal.
      Thank you for your work. Thank you for your memory. And thank you for watching and appreciating the craft from the other end of copper's long journey. With deep respect and a warm tip of the hat from my workshop to yours. Yup. 👌

      This is such a thoughtful and deeply meaningful question - thank you for asking it with such care. 🙏✨
      You've touched on something profound: the relationship between young people and physical labor in our modern world. What you're witnessing in this young artist is, I believe, a beautiful combination of all the elements you mentioned.
      Yes, there is tradition - the quiet passing of knowledge from father to son, the way a father's hands teach a son's hands to feel the metal, to know when to strike and when to pause. This young man learned directly from his father, watching for years, absorbing not just techniques but a way of being with the material. That continuity is precious and increasingly rare.
      But there is also free will - a young person choosing, in a world full of screens and shortcuts, to embrace the slowness, the effort, the physical dialogue with raw material. He has taken his father's foundation and added his own talent, his own fresh ideas, his own evolving knowledge. That choice is powerful. It speaks to something innate in the human spirit: the desire to create, to shape, to leave one's mark on the world through honest work.
      And perhaps between tradition and free will lies something else: a sense of purpose. The satisfaction of holding something real that didn't exist before, made by your own hands. That feeling transcends duty - it becomes a calling.
      Thank you for witnessing both generations and for honoring this beautiful cycle. Your warmth and insight are deeply appreciated. With warmest regards in return. ❤️🔨🌍

    doctor: how did you burn your hand
    me: it was a seamless art.

    • @A.Taghavi

      Is there any weld in the work? No
      That is what I meant.
      Can you guess why several times the copper was heated?

      Thank you so much for your interest - it truly means a lot to know that the teapot caught your eye. 🙏✨
      To be honest this very one is not for sale but if someone pays a good price for it we may sell it 😉

    I wonder if someone could put a solid head on a massage gun and do it twice as fast!

    • @A.Taghavi
      @A.Taghavi 6 days ago

      Haha - now that's thinking outside the workshop! 😄🙏 Imagine a massage gun loaded with a hammer head, just zapping away at the copper - you'd have a vibrating, humming, slightly terrifying new tool. The neighbors would definitely have questions.
      But in all seriousness, the rhythm of hand hammering isn't just about speed - it's about feel. Each strike is a decision: how hard, how angled, where exactly, and when to stop. A machine can move fast, but it can't listen to the metal the way a hand can.
      That said... I'd still love to see someone try it. For science. 😉
      Thanks for the brilliant smile and the creative spark. With warmth and a laugh. ❤🔨😄

    Wonder what the neighbors think 😮

    • @A.Taghavi
      @A.Taghavi 6 days ago

      Haha - I've definitely wondered the same thing! 😄🙏 Imagine living next door: tap-tap-TAP-tap-tap all day long, occasional bursts of fire, mysterious glowing metal, and someone muttering to themselves over a copper pot. They probably think I'm either a genius, a madman, or both.
      Thankfully, most neighbors are either very understanding or very good at pretending not to notice. Either way, I'm grateful for them.
      Thanks for the smile and the curiosity - with warmth and a little rhythmic noise in the background. ❤🔨🏠😄

    He will need a hearing aid soon if he continues like this!

    • @A.Taghavi
      @A.Taghavi Month ago +2

      You're absolutely right to be concerned - thank you for caring enough to mention it. 🙏 Hearing protection is so important in any workshop, especially with the constant clatter of hammer on metal.
      If you watch more carefully you will see he has worn protections and let's mention that the master in the video just crafted this work to challenge his skills as his main job is making tolls for coppersmiths and other artists.

      G-G, you just made my entire week - thank you! 🙏✨ 'Copper crazy for three-quarters of a century' - now that's a badge of honor. To have someone with your experience, your history, your deep connection to this metal, not just watching but subscribing... that means more than I can say.
      Welcome on board - truly. You're not just a subscriber; you're family now. I hope the videos bring you joy, memories, and maybe even a few new things to notice about the metal you've loved for so long.
      Study away tonight, my friend. And thank you - for your work, your words, your warmth, and that wonderful 'Yup.' 👌
