Arched Copper Flat Seam Roof Build

[@CreaseysWorkshop]

Who doesn't enjoy watching a craftsman. Doesn't matter what they are making, it's always fascinating.

[@SootySweep22]

Videos like this always make me thing of how much I miss my old man and our times working together. Thanks for posting, David.

[@PaulMeyette]

nothing better than watching a craftsman perform his craft. Thanks for this David, and Paul! Great video. ...and David, congrats on the sponsorship! Soon they will see how it pays off to support KZbinrs! I'll be buying some Wrangler for work!

[@DavidWaeldervideo]

+Paul Meyette thank you sir

[@PaulMeyette]

David Waelder you're one of my favorites brother. I'll always support you in your endeavors. ...just so happens I like Wrangler gear too.

[@vinny19881]

David Waelder check out zac.ltd for beautiful zinc and copper work!

[@jimmydiresta]

So good !!! Love Paul's lesson!!

[@roberttingler5084]

Not even sweated shout be ashamed there but first winter

[@Woodbrew]

Your dad seems like such a cool guy! You should do some videos of him telling cool stories from the past.

[@Wallmanwoodshop]

It was like a more in depth, practical lesson on This Old House. Paul comes across as a great teacher. Good job guys!

[@DavidWaeldervideo]

Wallman Woodshop wow thank you!!

[@marceaton3128]

That my friend was one of the best videos you have done to date. Your Dad is an amazing teacher and I can see where you get your passion from. Would love to see more of these with him. You are very fortunate to have a Dad like that. Thanks for sharing him with us. Again, great job David.

[@DavidWaeldervideo]

Marc Eaton thank you brother

[@danlynch1154]

Have always liked the look of copper. Real craftsmanship. Well done.

[@DavidWaeldervideo]

Dan Lynch thank you

[@gabrieleaimo]

It's great watching you and your father working together. As jimmydiresta is saying this is a wonderful lesson of craftsmanship for all of us. Thanks! And congrats for your new sponsor!

[@DavidWaeldervideo]

G. AIMO thank you !! I'm hoping t get into this full time. You guys help me along !!!

[@trod9524]

What a blessing to be raised with such a Craftsman. Thank you for allowing us a peek into the world you share with your Pops. Makes me think of my Old Man. Sweet.

[@DavidWaeldervideo]

[@DavidWaeldervideo]

Andy Birkey thank you sir

[@AndyBirkeyMaker]

il piacere è tutto mio

[@paulodeoliveira3368]

Took the words out of my mouth. David what's the purpose of the coin?

[@TonyV_in_the_OC]

I especially enjoyed watching Father passing on knowledge to his Son. If we all payed attention to our parents and respected our elders, we could bring civility back to the U.S.. Your dad is a true craftsman and you now may take the knowledge and show Giacco and John thus a 3x knowledge expansion and maintain training a great and valuable craft. Well done sir.,

[@DavidWaeldervideo]

Tony V cheers thank you!

[@mikewiebe4598]

My Dad is a farmer, this really makes me want to go spend the day with him and absorb knowledge from an expert. Your dad makes it look easy! Cool vid.

[@DavidWaeldervideo]

Mike Wiebe thank you Mike!

[@alexismolina8285]

In my opinion I just think clips are better because when you are soldering you give the metal space to move. But it looks amazing.

[@fedrooster]

Thank you Mr. Waelder for your wealth of knowledge. Pure craftsmanship.

[@DavidWaeldervideo]

Fed Rooster thank you for watching ! He appreciates it as well

[@mdbohica]

Fantastic project. That skill is woefully lacking from the world. What a beautiful roof!! Thank your Father for me for keeping this skill alive.

[@DavidWaeldervideo]

[@thejoshmoss]

Oh man, copper is the best to work with! Almost makes roofing not suck, top notch video, you dad is one hell of a craftsman.

[@claterpult]

That was great! I work with my old man as often as I can, it's nice to see you two out there getting work done. It's so great that these old fellers always have something to teach us "young" bucks. Thanks

[@Kris_at_WhiteOaksFarm]

Wow, one of the best 'how to' vids I've watched. Father and son, excellent narration/dialog. I may never put on a copper roof, but I sure have a good feeling that I might be able to do it after watching this...

[@DavidWaeldervideo]

Kris Gasteiger ha excellent review 🙏🏻 thank you

[@danielanderson2030]

the Riggs are awesome. been running them for a year, held up great, pockets haven't torn out and the leather on the pocket is great for my tape. Doesn't drag my pants down or flop around. and I usually kill pants in about 2 months. nyc plumbing.

[@arnodon6327]

So interesting! Nice work with your father. He knows his job and i like how he enjoys his coffee.

[@pbv61]

You and Jimmy do the best videos. I had a dad like yours and Jimmy that knew how to do all these nearly lost skills. I have an old soldering iron that was my grand dad's. watching these videos take me back to being a kid and helping my dad. I loved learning this stuff, and more importantly, learning to not be afraid to try. Thanks again for the videos!

[@Smalltime]

This video has is all, got to see Davids father, introduced to a new technique and tools, and handsome men in great looking clothes!

[@damiank1fan]

Great to see you work with your dad!

[@DavidWaeldervideo]

damiank1fan thank you !

[@PilchPlays]

Ah, it takes me back to my roofing days. But i dealt more with double lock standing seam copper and Zinc panels. I actually miss it. Course we did large panels and had a machine with rollers to profile the panels. Used CNC sheet metal break to make the various bits of flashing. But i can remember make some panels like that. Rarely did i get out of the shop and help install the panels. We always called the pliers platypus or Duckbill pliers. But i guess that's a southern term. Just watching the end i get the smell of the resin and solder filling my nose.

[@francisbarnett]

I enjoy this type of skilled making video, more please.

[@bigronxxxx]

David thanks for the video showing how this is done brother,i'm glad you're back and making videos,all the best to you and your family,your dad is one hell of a teacher and a true craftsman please thank him for the lesson

[@sierraecho884]

I have never seen a metal roof work where so much solder is used, this is the 2nd time I see this done on KZbin in the US. Interesting. That´s very interesting, this seems to be US specific, I have never seen that before. Learned something new today =)

[@danthemakerman]

Glad I watched this you and father work great together, you might have to make him a regular.
