I love how you're not just crafting art, or tools, but tools for making art that are art themselves!

With a shark instead of a whale you would have a *sharkhead hammer*, opposed to the hammerhead shark. ;) But your whalehead hammer is still awesome!

Uri Tuchman plus a whale needs a friend! It would be pretty awesome to see you have an entire set of hammers/tools in a form of life and art! Another fish that you could go crazy with is the pufferfish and all of the tiny “bumps” or barbs when it puffs up. That’d look amazing with those bumps gold plated and the same patina as the whale.

This comment reminded me of the riddle about the chicken and eggs!

Love the gold highlight for the eye! A few tips from New Zealand on getting an even, solid black finish on copper (and bronze) : The best results I've had have been using a cold patina based on copper sulphate and ammonium chloride. While it may not be as durable as other hot patinas it's perfect for parts like this where the finish is primarily decorative. As you did, I'll get the piece to a bright polish to ensure it's perfectly smooth, but then prior to patinating I'll give it a light rub with scotchbrite so that it has a uniform brushed appearance. This doesn't show up in the final finish but without it I've found the oxide layer can shed from the underlying surface, leaving bright patches. I'll do this step wearing clean gloves and follow it up with a thorough cleaning before I apply the patina. Where I am looking for an even finish, I prefer if at all possible to submerge the whole part in a bath of the patina. With the patinas I use, I typically dilute the solution with distilled water, as that slows the rate at which the reaction occurs and gives you more control over when to arrest it. While it is in the bath, it's best to keep the solution moving by stirring it gently (or tilting the container if it's small enough) so that the chemicals stay evenly distributed as they react with the copper. As you will have found, when the surface dries it lightens to more of a grey, but the rich black comes back when you apply a surface sealant - for anything that won't be seeing heavy wear I like to use a similar beeswax/linseed mix to what you used on the handle!

I don't understand why I love so much seeing someone crafting a hammer ... But I do

Use acetone to clean your piece before etching/using blackening agents. It removes oils/gunk and allows for a uniform reaction across the applied surface.

IT is a shame, I can only give ONE thumb up ...I would give 100 of them ! Greetings from Switzerland

Thank you. I love it when you slide into view, it makes my day!!! What a fun hammer, and The Blue Danube was a nice touch.

I love how you use these videos to try things you have never done, and experiment with new techniques. Very fun to watch.

You're such an amazing craftsman and character... Thank you !

I can honestly say that I thoroughly enjoy every single video you release. From beginning to end they are amazing. Thank you for sharing your work and your craftsmanship, as well as your sense of humor, with us.

This is absolutely Gorgeous! by far my favorite project you've done! Thank you for sharing this beautiful art of yours!

I love how your workbench improves, video by video... Every time there is something new. Amazing work as always 👏

Love, love, love your work. I'm always pleased when a new video uploads. Keep doing what you do, it's awesome.

Love the handle shape!

Good stuff Uri. Thanks for sharing.

Always very inspiring Uri. Thanks for taking your time to share your talents with us.

Came from Green Beetle, and even though I'm only a couple videos into the channel I just love how lighthearted and fun everything is.

Thank you. Your videos are very intriguing.

Watched the intro multiple times with a smile

Your videos always make me laugh and make the day better. I love all the shinny things.

With each video you're not only making better and better art pieces, and useful ones at that, but also your video editing skills have been improving greatly over the past couple videos! Great job Uri love your vids.

Your videos showcase amazing art and are hilarious. 10/10 would recommend.

Lovely, thank you Mr. Uri.

Been watching for awhile now and I have to say well done. Keep the Awesome videos coming.

Absolutely beautiful tool and super funny video. Great job as always!

Very rewarding. And great editing as usual. I find myself repeating past comments. But I can't help the fact that your videos are thing of joy for me to watch. I link you wherever I go and no doubt friends and family are sick of me talking about your latest creations. But I know a lot of them now follow you. So once again. ..thank you mate. I really enjoyed this job.

Excellent content as always Uri

I did enjoy! Very beautiful hammer.

Wonderfull work! Tank you for share this with us!

As a chemist, seeing you work with electolysis makes me happy :)

I think I woulda gold plated the belly texture also, but your way looks awesome too. Love watching your videos.

That turned out really great! I'm glad I stumbled over your channel.

Nice job Uri!

i love this little whale hammer... wonderful job as always

Another joyful masterpiece! Don't even want to think about belly texture...especially when waltzing! Happy hammering.

every video 10/10 , great work uri !

I hope you some day have all custom tools. You are on your way! Also funny stuff with the file music making

Wow, nice craftsmanship!

Hello Uri. I worked as a patineur for many years and used "Antique Black M20 Immersion" as a base for many patinas. You can get a light honey color to a pitch black. I think it is used as a gun blueing as well. Love your work and style.

That's so adorable!!! You can blacken copper simply with a torch. No liver of sulfur is needed, really. Just keep hitting it with the flame until you get the desired color. :) Also, I've found that the gel version of Liver of Sulfur, painted on as a gel instead of diluting with water, works wonderfully as long as the piece is thoroughly cleaned first. I use a soft brass brush and soapy water to clean it before darkening.

As usual you're awesome!

depending on how hard the oxide layer is to remove, you could submerge the whole thing in the oxide making solution a couple of times instead of brushing it on to the surface. This also might act as a way to help mask off areas when doing the gold plating. Great work on the hammer and the editing, keep it up man!

Great skills. Excellent mate.

Ten seconds into the video, I hit like, great intro :)

I know this is already quite an old video, but liver of sulphur works best when it's hot. From my experience with jewellerymaking, I've always just purchased dry liver of sulphur from suppliers, and put one or two small chunks (maybe 2-3g) in a bowl of freshly boiled water. Pre-heating your metal by simply placing it in a separate bowl of hot water helps the patina take much better. I would also recommend doing it more than once, as the patina will wear away, but if you patina one layer, and burnish it (either by hand, or using a rotary tumbler), and add more layers on top, it tends to give the darkness a depth. Patina also works well with sterling silver :) Cheers! Love watching your work!

In these tumultuous and divisive times, it's good to know that we're all connected by having those damn cheap IKEA green top tupperware containers.

I so enjoyed the (extra) whimsy of the blue danube waltz

beautiful! thanks Uri :)

That turned out to be an awesome hammer, Uri! I was not aware that coloring metal was that "easy" (relatively speaking, and based on how you made it look). (Also, it was great meeting you at Makers Central!) Thanks for sharing!

honestly think this would have worked just as well with a pig,piglet,swine theme. love your work! very inspiring, keep it up and hope you got through this past year well and the next just as well!

I’ve seen that birch wood Casey’s brass black for copper and brass works really well for blackening, then if you want to lighten it, you can use some fine steel wool or sandpaper. It looks pretty cool with that copper showing through though!

Thanks Uri.

I was going to suggest cupric nitrate for a blue green color. It is a base to form copper hydrates. On colpper should finish very nicely. More intense if applyed to warm or hot surface. Also, gold never oxidizes. 5000 year old gold in egyptian tombs still shines. Loved the video. you do some very nice projects. I'm looking forward to the next as always. Regards, Solomon

Jay Van Have you used it on copper or just steel?

I do stained glass and use commercial patina compounds, they provide a faster blacking but it is always only a thin surface layer. You might want to seal the patina with a thin coat of a non gloss lacquer if you want to preserve the blacking. However, I like how your hammer has copper spots it gives character.

Love it!!

Lovely piece of work as always, one minor warning would be that copper work hardens over time and the sharp edges on the face of the hammer may crack or shatter eventually. I don't think it's as dangerous as when iron/hardened steel hammers break chips off but probably worth annealing it every now and then to reduce the chances of getting a metal splinter in the eye

F'ing amazing. Art is not dead! You are a true artist and funny too. A dove would have made a nice hammer too I think :)

Thank you, i always wanted to know how to create a "Whale Shaped Chasing Hammer from Copper"

The belly texture joke got me good :'D

Cannot wait to see that hammer WHALING on things in the future! *weezes *

I used to work at a bronze foundry where we added black patina to plaques and sculptures using Kodak photo fixer powder. The bronze was heated with a torch and the mixed up solution applied with a chip brush. Then the whole thing got a coat of paste wax.

You are awesome! :D

Awsome!

Awesome!
