Handmade Hammered Copper Sink Using Hand Tools at my Wilderness Cabin | DIY

[@thizizliz]

Oooh, the fire changed the color so beautifully! Just for the record, I enjoy the back & forth aspect of the chores - it's real. While it's impractical to do a job due to weather, lighting, availability of materials, even mood, there is always something else that needs doing: a meal to prep, clothes to wash, mail to read, whatever. Life isn't linear and you are not on the clock. By the way, doing nothing in retirement is a faster route to an early death. We don't move as fast as we did 15 years ago but we gotta keep moving & pushing a bit.

[@delmasparker5184]

I worked in the sheet metal fabricating industry for many years. Hard work but very rewarding when finished. Your ability to do it in the wilderness environment with minimal tools is very uplifting. Enjoy your skills.

[@powder9605]

I want you to know that the natural sounds of your videos is like healing and comfort to the soul. I just love it! I am not surprised that your subscribers just keep coming. It is a pleasure to watch you as you go about your day. Listening to you talk about comments. As for me I don't think about the order you do you things I just enjoy watching your create. It is amazing the things you have built and the tools you use. I am a retired woman alone and you have given me quite a few ideas since I have no one to help me do anything. Much love from Southeast Texas.

[@skygerspacher6891]

When I was young we worked all day on forts and tree houses and caves and we never noticed how cold and tired we were until it was almost dark and we were, one by one, called home. Sometimes our dogs had already headed home without us. All the years I worked in an office, sitting, pondering questions I secretly did not care about, forcing myself not to dream about forts and treehouses and caves in the woods. Now both my husband and I are retired and we are busier than we have ever been, although we get to sit and relax and read also now.....but the point is.....I'm in my 60's and I just so love it.....if you can do it earlier in your life....do it....retirement doesnt mean stopping work, it means getting to finally work at things you love, that lift you up, that help you live your purpose and find your potential. Its joyous. Love this video. I love the way your front door sounds when it opens and closes. Dont oil it.

[@kimmarielesso3670]

Hi Shawn! Just wanted to thank you so much for your channels! I've been watching you for over a year now. I'm far from what you would think is your normal demographic. I'm a 59 year old divorced mother of 3 adults (1 a Master's student in NYC, 1 Asperger's Autistic who teaches in a local daycare and lives at home, and 1 severe Autistic I care for and am teaching to bake and we've started a business for him Tad's Tasty Treats). Your channels are my refuge...my place of peace! I enjoy watching you create and cook! It takes me back to my youth when camping and trekking were a large part of my life as a Girl Scout. I miss those days but through you I am transported back to those blissful days I once enjoyed....many thanks my friend!

[@chrisanderson9856]

Shawn I spent 10 plus years working with copper in my 20's and 30's and never did master custom copper work. I believe it is a never ending progression to perfection and most don't even come close. I applaud you for making the sink. I think it looks great!!! I would offer one word of advice and it would be not to use a rubber gasket under the inside lip of the basket strainer. If you could I would use 100% silicone. You will have a far better chance of it never leaking. The silicone may stain the copper over time however, it does look kind of cool. Each week is a "can't wait" until your next video comes out. Another idea would be to lay the flange down on the counter top and trace it out and then cut a notch into the counter top and install a copper ring over the flange in the cut out counter top. Anyway great job on the sink!! Have a great day!!

[@kevinharding2099]

I am 70, and can tell you that despite one’s need to be always active, your body will ultimately force you to slow down and take more time to appreciate the world around you. I can still get significant projects done, but at a much slower pace. Keeping fit and learning to keep life simple can go a long way towards feeling productive and satisfied. Your story of going from larger more powerful boats to a canoe is a good model for life.

[@NetTopsey]

It sounded very Zen of you in the last few minutes as you talked about why you do tasks in the order, or lack of order, you do them. An expression I read years ago comes to mind, "When you don't try to do everything, everything does itself". Wonderful as always. Thanks much.

[@jimjackofall1510]

Just wanted to say I have heard that heating copper and not quenching it actually hardens it. I love the stuff you do and your videos. I don't ever comment on anything because sooooo many people do but I wanted to applaud your handling of the commenter who thinks that we should not ever harm an animal to survive. Definitely out of touch with human evolution and reality of survival. Thank you sir.

[@R_B62]

Shawn, never let any on us "arm chair quarterback" you or your style of how you live your life. I enjoy your "organic" style of your life and many of us others do too; look at the size of your channels!! You are amazing in your talents and drive. I have realized as I get nearer to 60, its not the projects we rush to finish but the journey. Blessings from a southern brother.

I *like* that you jump around to different projects - it keeps things very interesting, for you and for us! We never know what you'll be doing next, which is part of the fun and anticipation. It's like reading several different books in parallel, or having talks with several different people throughout the day, or watching a TV show with several interwoven storylines. Also, spreading out a big project over a long time, like the sauna, we get to enjoy seeing it in different seasons. But most of all - it's *your* life, and really not anybody else's business to say how you should live it. You're an admirable guy, and we just appreciate your sharing this great way of life that makes you happy.

I miss the hardwoods of Michigan, but winter doeth approach, no matter. I have seen hand-hammered woks but not sinks. It looks to be much more tedious a task than the one in the cabin. Beautiful craftsmanship. May your weekend be a great one.

[@billgaetz337]

I started working as a kid of 12 ,if I wanted a toy car my dad would hand me his buck saw and point to a pile of cedar logs to cut and split, When I retired at 56 I was surprised at how little time I had to do everything I wanted to do and how I got everything I wanted to do done when I was working. I'm always amazed at people that say "( I'm bored"). At 85 I'm mad that I can't do all the physical thing I once did. I'm going to join the rest of your followers in saying that if I want to relax I just tune into your channel , sit back and relax, I don't know what it is about what you do and the sound of your voice (and watching cali) that puts me at ease but keep it up.

A dishing stump would help greatly but the fire place won’t get enough heat into the copper . Gas or furnace heat is needed ! Respect for getting it as far as you did 😎 . It will blend into the rustic setting I’m sure

[@katnip2u]

He could make the counter into a double sink and use this copper sink as the drip/dry off one for his dishes.

[@kirkc9643]

Yes, copper just needed more heat to anneal it, which makes it very soft. Then as it gets hammered it hardens again. Shawn if you happen to read this...you could easily make you good sink a lot better by doing this. I think you can stretch the material too when it is soft so you could maintain the diameter of the top part.

To do all you've done at your Magnificent Cabin, by hand and not use any power tools amazes me.

It makes sense to move from one project to the next without finishing. This is something I learned from my stepfather who taught me that It is better to move between a variety of projects rather than focussing too tightly for too long on only one thing just to get it done. He always said, "a change of work is the best vacation" because stepping away to think about something else would be refreshing, and he said that your subconscious would be working on how to solve the problem with the original task while you were distracted anyway. I've found this to be true, and I think of it always when I hit a dead-end on something I'm working at; if I step away to work at something else, I can return to the first job later with more inspiration. And I think that things actually get done faster that way.
