Angle grinder with a flapper sanding disc works great while it’s flat, before you start beating on it !

Your working speed is incredible. It even looks like the video is sped up. :)

Thanks - NICE results! Love how you keep it simple.

Best way to clean that copper after firing it is to take a bowl of vinegar, add salt to it until the salt will no longer dissolve, then place the copper in it for about 10 minutes... it will come out a shrimpy pink color.. all over.. no firescale

Thank you! Just keep practicing and find your rhythm, I probably made about 50 bowls before this one

Cheers Hogan and Happy New Year. You made that look very easy. Lovely bowl

I continue to be impressed.

LOVE this!!!!!!

Beautiful bowl!

Thank you Trey!

That anvil is awesomeness!!!

1:44 This was so satisfying

Nice job. i was wondering if you had to do a second annealing while working on it. Was also thinking to plate it with silver on the inside would have been pretty.

Thanks! With a shallow bowl I only need to anneal it one time, and the bowl ends up nice and stiff when its done. Cool idea about the silver, ill look into that!

Beautiful! Have you ever tried to make a copper sink? I assume it would be more or less the same technique as this, just starting with a bigger piece of copper and hammering it to a greater depth.

that would look beautiful

Thanks for the demo- I am a copper flame painter. I usually make jewelry and wall art, but I have really wanted to make some useful things, like bowls. You make it look like it is, but I know that it’s not easy to get a bowl nice , even and smooth. Is the doughnut shape piece of steel that you use when you start rounding the bowl specially made for this purpose or is it made for something else?

Hello Its looks like a ladle swage, some people uses a tree stump with a carved hole in it for the same purpose

Nice

👍👍👍

what type of blade did you use in the band saw for cutting the copper?

I just took a coppersmithing class and we made a bowl. The only thing different is that we used a ball pean hammer and we had to hammer the outside to smooth out all our hits. What kind of hammer did you use?

Any concern from the solder or lead?

Can u please list the machines u used?

Is there a way you could get the stain off the bottom?

I’m new to copper. Why did you heat it and what did you quench it in? Looks amazing BTW

Thanks for watching! Most copper you find is in a hardened state and the heating and quenching 'anneals' the copper and making it soft and 10x easier to work with!

Wow, i must habe😎

Neat, great re use of resource

Super skill what will the weight of this plate

Whats the change in diameter from cirkle to dome?

Awesome stuff. You really got some depth out the copper. Did you reheat it at all or was that all hammering?

Thank you! I only soften it the one time before I start forming. It gets work hardened so the finished bowl is pretty strong.

One more question. Where can I get a circular anvil like the one you have? What’s the name of it? Thank you 🙏

It's called a swage. Blacksmith supply stores carry them.

it is possible to cook in it?

Where do you find copper pipe that thick? Looks like a gutter.

This was old drain/sewer pipe out of a school. Newer drain pipe seems to be quite a bit thinner

So you sell these :)?

I guess you could, its just copper and bees wax. However the finish wouldn't hold up well and it would get green and gross probably

That beautiful old pipe 😩

My only tiny criticism is that the title said "old pipes" (plural), and I was thinking I could use the standard heating pipes we use in the UK. It's not that hard to make a bowl from a massive piece of pipe because I did it at school. But what can I make from 15mm pipe lengths? Hmmm....
