Nice finish hook. I like that rawhide hammer too.
Very well explained you are a good blacksmithing instructor keep up the good work !
Love the Patina
Great video Roy I have been wanting to try forge copper. Good tips, Don’t let it too hot it will crumble.
Very nice! I love copper,brass and bronze. Thanks for the video. I will have to give this a try.
Reference for non-ferrous metals:
SEATTLE COPPER & BRASS. They're in the book or online. They carry just about anything one could want.
something i didn't hear him say was that copper work hardens when worked cold. it is annealed by getting it red hot and quenching.
Yes, Allen that is correct.
I'm guessing that you heat and quench to soften when you are working cold.
Very nice project, appreciate your teaching style!
Loving the videos, you and your wife are an inspiration. God bless
I'm surprised just how tough the hot copper is to work. I thought it would be incredibly easy to forge.
thanks for my daily CCI fix!
+Charles May better watch it it could be addicting lol but then again Knowing Me Maybe not :-)
WOW what a great looking hook, good job done, thanks for your time.
Its a shame not more people leave likes
+Cheshire Grin well there's always next video :-) I still have a lot to learn and a lot more videos that I want to make God bless you for the great comments
Christ Centered Ironworks god bless me for the great? Ive never heard that phrase
Same with stainless welding wire, it gets hot quick.
Thanks, think you may have saved me form getting cold shuts in my stem in the future, I will neck down the stem on the horn. The nearside of my anvil is too sharp, even after 150 years or more, and I'm not going to round it.
That helps me with my current project. Thank you
Nice work and appreciated. I have som copper bar, reclaimed from an industrial size transformer, that I may have to try this with. Approximately 12 feet long, and 1/4 X1/2 inch...probably 9 of them this size. Got them for FREE. One question on the final forging though. Wouldn't it be better to work harden the copper a bit (cold) for increased strength? Thanks
Beautiful piece Roy! My compliments.
Nice starter project, gotta get me some copper!
Cool hook... man I gotta finish my new forge so I can get to work...
very instructional, thanks!
Love it mate, bless u too for showing and sharing this with people.
Awesome Job and Demo!
I have learned so much from your videos! Keepem coming! Have a blessed day in Jesus name!
Great video, have you tried to clean your copper in a hot pickle? And have you tried liver of sulfur yet? Leaves an awesome patina.
you mentioned adding black spray paint at the end....what is the point of using copper if you're going to paint it black?
Great Job .
I love your manual hand blower. I guess that is hard to find, Antique?
Do you get the reaction when hot-working copper too, or just mostly while in contact or grinding?
I find that copper gets soft when heated and stay that way when cold and hammering it hardens it
Is there a specific reason that you drew everything out on the horn? Is it quicker to do it that way as opposed to using the face of the anvil?
If you used the edge of the anvil instead of the horn would it speed up the process being slightly more aggressive?
Love it.
+BoilerRoomRadio awesome I'm glad you like the hook!
Love the hook. You are lucky, around here they wont let me shop around in the scrap yards. "Insurance"
Roy did you use a chisel or just the cross-peen for the leaf
When i did my first copper rose for Mother's Day found a bit of complexity in producing veins that were pleasing to the eye
Question! When you order online, what is the number of the copper you order? Like 320; or 442, or other, which has to do with consistency and workability. Some of them say may solder etc, but not heat treatable. So? I guess heat treatable means not forgable? So what is your copper
Makeup, maybe this is too picky or intricate and don’t worry about it. But, I hate to spend good money on copper and foul it up.
Nice.
How long before a guy can start making money? What kind of store app?
Thanks
what sort of weight can that hook hold? very nice piece what sort of price would the copper be worth or just give me a weight of copper so i can work it out please God bless
+grayem pepper at my local scrap yard it cost $4 a pound. brand new you can expect double of this comparatively. Approximate weight of the hook is about 1 lb or maybe 18 Oz. As far as what weight this hook can hold if the hook was forged and work hardened this will be able to hold a load of 50 lb or better. Although copper does not have a high tensile strength it does when it is hardened. Hope this helps you God bless you and thank you for always taking the time to comment
that is impressive thank you for your time
+grayem pepper you're very welcome anytime for you buddy :-)
Ok thanks for your answer, I was wonder the same. Ok on that note how do you harden copper?
Copper is work hardening. It will get hard as you forge on it. You'd have to put it back in the fire to anneal it.
thanks for a great video! What is the correct name for the hammer you used while cutting on the Hardie tool?
Soft hammer, made from mild steel. Come on Roy, start answering questions.
Nice! I never really thought about forging copper. I will be adding it to my repatuer.
Question... (video answer maybe?) Anvil placement in relation to the forges and horn left or right? I know personal preferance plays into it.. your thoughts? I personally stand between the forge and anvil (180 degrees to each other) with the horn to my right. I am right handed.
Thanks for the video..
My opinion is I want my hardy hole opposite my hammerhand. Others prefer their horn near their tong hand. The German style seems to accomplish both.
I prefer my hardy hole away from my hammer hand. Some prefer their horn near their tong hand.
The German style anvil seems to accomplish both.
Wow I thought copper was soft. Not too soft, right? 5/8 round stock, is it really expensive?
Drill press the holes?
Yes ma'am :-) or punched whatever you prefer
Who buys these hooks?
