Craftspeople. The world needs more of them.

Smiths who work with copper, brass, and bronze are called red smiths not blacksmiths. Red smith because they work with the red metals. Blacksmiths work with the black metals such as iron, and steel

When I did my Coppersmithing apprenticeship we did this kind of work. I still have my plenishing and peening hammers and bossing mallets. Hammers kept to a mirror finish. If your hammers have a mark on the face it'll transfer onto the workpiece. Alas, this kind of work is done much quicker and cheaper on a metal spinning lathe, and then finished by hand. Retired now, but ended up spending most of my life in a sheet metal shop.

it seems these pots are now made with machines, mass production. But attached to the factory they have a museum how it was done formerly. So they show the copper museum but this is only for advertisement. Nowadays the copper is no more pure but mixed with cheaper metals

In my apprenticeship in sheet metal working one of the things we had to do was hammer a vase out of a sheet of aluminum very much like the young lady does with copper in the footage. It's quite satisfying work if you get it right. And yes, these things are now usually manufactured through machine spinning or even pressing. But if you have a unique design, a one off piece, it's still better to hammer it and it also ends up being a piece of art that a lot of people are prepared to pay a good money for.

Beautiful work! it is so nice to have people to carry on traditions such as you show here.. To keep the beauty of the making alive is fantastic.. thank you all..

I really admire artists/ craftsmen who make such beautiful things. In a world with mass production and sameness, making unique things by hand is an important thing to keep alive.

Absolutely fascinating to see this! I've been to Tsubame, Niigata. A lifetime ago I was an exchange student in the next town up the road.

It's amazing to see a young at this her age do this kind of craftman work. It was rarery to see at my country.

I find it amazing watching this beautiful woman make a copper tea kettle. We Americans have been making copper moon shine stills, pots and pans plates and kettles for over 500 years the same ways. Times have change, the industry has also changed. With hygienic presses and punches. It's a dying art, expected for my Tennessee brothers. They keep the dreams alive.

Wonderful to watch.

Looks really good and a lot of work was put into it. I would've laid down some sand paper on a flat surface and thenm slide the opening on the bowl/cup back and forth until there's no bumps left.

Beautiful work well done!

At 10:55 hardening the overall structure of the vase, fill up the vase with water as weight to provide stability also even out the hardening temperature without over heating the piece...11:00 mild oxidation flame is used...11:33 machine power brush the surface before patina process...11:45 patina process called liver of sulfur, the whole room smell like rotten eggs...12:01 pumice powder surface finishing get rid of excess of oxide...12:12 notice the shine on the surface compare with earlier. The process repeated as she went back to the sulfur tank until the desire color is achieved, finally neutralized the surface with clean water.

@seouljah760

copper is work hardened not heat hardened. You need to reheat copper to keep it malleable. I think they are just focusing on controlling the oxidation/patina around 10:55, and the water is to prevent it from softening.

excellent quality and techniques .

Love watching this. All craftsmen are hands on, I do the same but not up to some quality. Jealous no the rest of us do the best we can, after all how can you get better without someone to show you how. That's how we learn and in some cases tradition handed down from one artist to an apprentice. Awesomeness. Most do not realise we build on those that have gone beyond. Skills should not be lost or they will disappear

I make miniature fully-articulated steel armour exactly the same way, and I can say without question that my Japanese clients appreciate the handmade nature of my craft over and above all others. They prefer to see the evidence of nine months of raising, forging and planishing, especially the file-marks, they give me STRICT instructions to leave these in key places, because that is my story, and each one just like a snowflake is totally different than the last. These marks are signatures, each proof this was made by hand... MY hand. BRAVO, this was a joy to watch, it actually brought a tear my eyes as I know what that real toil feels like. DEATH to 3D printers!! 😂🏆
