Raise a Copper Vessel 4a - Raising the Bowl

In this video I raise and set the rim on the first of the two vessels raised in the previous videos. I edited out a good bit of the hammering, while it is interesting/fun/challenging to do, it makes for tedious watching. I cut the clips to parts that make the changes happen. You'll be introduced to a raising hammer, more about that in the beaker videos to follow. The shallow rounded form gains a little height and develops a wide rim. Originally a part of a longer video, this the first 'half' because it was 1:18 too long for YouTube.

That piece of metal you are banging on looks helpful. What's it called and where do you get them? Thanks,

Every month I look forward to looking up your new entries in newyorkamera, great progress reports, great explanations with wonderful pictures. I live in Colombia and do mostly blacksmithing, but lately I got into angle raising again after many years and also show my apprentices this age old technique. Thank you for a great job!

I subscribed because I found your binding tutorials were excelent. As a child my heroes were always the blacksmiths, millners, taylors, & coblers. This is fascinating major.
