I am mostly a woodcarver but i sometimes use copper or other metals as an inlay material. I enjoyed watching you work as it gives me ideas to use in my own shop. New subscriber!

Def NOT made in China! Beautiful work.

[@steventanner1428]

Oh my gosh great work. Please mount that anvil solid so it will stop ringing.

Just beautiful craftsmanship. Never worked with copper…it seems a bit more malleable than mild steel?

[@roep3590]

I only have mild steel..wish I had copper.

[@ptdldy]

Beautiful!

[@stevechmelar8569]

I've read that copper can't be hardened like ferrous metal. Does hammering the copper harden it sufficiently to hold the shape of the barrette? I noticed the Milwaukee band saw ... did you simply clamp the handle into your vise? Your work is outstanding. Thank you for the video!

Beautifully done!! What gauge ground wire are you using? New supporter!!

[@mathieudube1183]

Why do you hit with the round peen? To give it texture?
