How to Make a Copper Bowl, Hammering with Rob

[dillonWY]

maybe take a blowtorch and some oil to it and get some cool colors going.

I just knew duct tape would be in there somewhere. Duct tape is like the force....It has a light side and a dark side and it holds the universe together. On a serious note, great video.

Love it I am an old school tin knocker/ copper smith/ cornice worker and its nice to see things still done by hand and not machine it is the art of the trade

I love working with medals, i'm a 25-year-old woman, and have known how to weld since I was in my early teens.. It's nice to have a well-known welder in your family lol..

[HarpSama]

[cookingfordads]

@HarpSama Umm.... I think so .....

[principessababygirl]

That gorgeous Rob, well done!! 

[hannagan]

Rob,

That is great! I think I'll set up a bench next my grill and give that a try. i have a few small pieces of copper flashing.

Thanks for sharing this

[cookingfordads]

@hannagan how'd it turn out?

[hannagan]

@cookingfordads It is still a work in progress...I'll send a pic when I finish it.

[10000diamondeyes]

wow, that turned out amazing! how much would a scrap piece like that go for?

[unitruth]

Cool!

[msp663]

Your neighbors must love you.

[cookingfordads]

@msp663 Yeah, it was a little much, but it was during the day and they weren't home. Normally I hammer in the garage so as to avoid neighbors with migraines. :-)

[KyleWPeterson]

Don't you need to treat the metal at all?

[cookingfordads]

@KyleWPeterson Actually no, just like you see here. The only thing that can be done is to heat the metal severely with a torch if it gets to hard to work with, that softens it up again. But normally I don't do that.

[witchman1]

Nice job, but how does it taste? Wink!!!

[cookingfordads]

@witchman1 It's not bad with a little teriyaki. :-)

[jeffxl12]

wow that's amazing. Make me one iwill pay for your time, shipping and copper

[cookingfordads]

@jeffxl12 This one is actually for sale if you'd like it. Contact me through my dot net web page.

[Pippilly]

Wow, impressive!

[xzerohunter]

Make a copper hat that looks like a bamboo hat please =)

[cookingfordads]

@xzerohunter ??

[rallaa]

I think you should do more videos like this, Rob.

[rallaa]

That's really cool, Rob. Your sculptures are great.

[Tippster1980]

About how long did that actually take you? It looks really great, and I would assume that a 1st timer would prolly not make one as nice.

[cookingfordads]

@Tippster1980 It takes a while to hammer that down, I'll be honest. I probably have an hour of hammering in to it. Yes, I've made quite a few, but you'd be surprised how easy it is to do, especially if you start smaller. The bigger bowls can get away from you.

[highrider61]

wow those copper sculpters look great
