How Far Can I Forge a Copper Ingot?

[@HandToolRescue]

Some say he's still forging to this day...

I love this channel and yours, your restoration vids inspired me to start restoring some of my Grandfather's old hand tools.

I don't want to be the person to rain on this parade. First off, awesome spoon! But second unlined copper can leach harmful amounts into your food. Specially with acidic stuff.. Be careful!

[@cheffrin3751]

@Yo ming Thanks buddy!

[@digitalfriday]

agreed, for example, tin lining would protect the food.

[@codyallen2838]

That's what I was coming hear to say. It happens a lot with new metal workers making themselves copper mugs, and they assume it's safe because you see copper mugs in stores all the time. They have to be lined to be safe. It's a real bummer.

[@robsonez]

Don't want to rain on your parade either... First off, great public service announcement. But your plumbing is likely full of copper piping and that lining doesn't last forever 👌 Also, just about everything you eat is full of micro plastics! I'd be less worried about trace elements of copper and copper biproducts 😉

[@nickringastan7838]

I’m guessing that you have to keep the metal cherry red in a hammering stage to stop it splitting or shattering.

Нельзя пользоваться чисто медной посудой! Это большое заблуждение, оттого, что вся старинная медная посуда дошла до наших времен без оловянной полуды (стерлась в процессе долгого использования). Медную посуду нужно обязательно лудить, причем не простым оловом, а пищевым (олово высокой очистки без мышьяка).

[@MrHerMorzhov]

Медь практически безвредна по сравнению с SnH4, SnCl2 и особенно оловоорганикой. Так что сам обрабатывай посуду оловом.

[@DL24StaS]

@@MrHerMorzhov и тем не менее, медная посуда во все времена считалась ядовитой, и либо лудилась, либо покрывалась эмалью. Отравление солями меди из-за приготовления пищи в плохо лужённой или изношенной медной посуде было распространённой причиной смерти ещё в тридцатые годы ! Например, в справочнике по криминалистике упоминается отравление семьи из четырёх человек солями меди в клюквенном варенье, которое готовилось в медных котлах с частично слезшим покрытием. А олово насколько я поинмаю на практике быстро пассивируется и вредных соединений не образует, а те продукты коррозии, которые образуют плотную пассивирующую плёнку, для человека безвредны.

[@m.selimdemirtas5356]

Excellent work. Be careful don’t get poisioned. You may coat with tin.

[@McBonza28]

Hello, great video! :D but please don't eat with it! Copper can leach into to your food in amounts that aren't safe to consume. Unlined copper isn't safe for everyday cooking.

[@oxoniumgirl]

this really only applies to acidic foods and/or when using copper cooking vessels. tableware is generally a safe application for copper because the contact time with food is very short compared to vessels and cookware.

[@oxoniumgirl]

Just stumbled upon your channel, cannot even tell you how happy this video makes me by having a ton of my favorite things in it (copper, casting, smithing, cooking, handsome man smiling, oversized old-fashioned utensil... list goes on).. instant sub!

[@SwedishChef1977]

"How do you want your Tortellini served?" "With a ridiculously large handforged copper spoon, if that's possible. Thanks!"

[@normansandds757]

Ok MR bb but can you forge Bronze and then combine it with Copper to creat a Damascus with them??? I think that mite be conciderd a challenge lol

[@a.7642]

That's called mokume gane and is super cool! It's sometimes done with silver and gold to make jewelry, but you can make it out of pretty much any combination of non-ferrous metals.

[@jasonsummit1885]

Uh, bronze is copper and tin. It wouldn't look as good as you think. If he used copper, brass and nickel it would. That's called mokume gane, at least the cheaper version of it. The more expensive version would be gold, silver and rose gold.

[@Xtafa]

Tip. If you dunk it water while it's still hot, it anneals heaps and you can keep forging without reheat. It can help with the cracking issue if you're getting too hot + work hardening the piece

[@d_2_the_p543]

I see others have already posted but I'm gonna do it anyway cause I hope Mr Black Beard himself sees at least one of the posts. Copper is not safe for eating with without the proper precautions. Raw copper is dangerous if ingested and it leaches very easily if I'm not mistaken.

[@NoQuarter01]

Just not safe with acidic foods like tomato based soups etc

[@piconano]

I think bare copper cookware and utensils are poisonous. This is why in the old times, they tinned the copper pots.

[@extremelydave]

Once again you prove you are a wildman. Good stuff!

[@bradthayer6782]

Very cool. However, two issues: copper conducts heat like crazy so the handle gets hot fast if you keep the bowl in heat very long; second, copper reacts with acids in food to make copper acetate which is toxic. So you might want to tin the bowl, as cookware used to always be.

[@leesnow5859]

Ok. Explain copper kettles for candy and copper stills please. I don't get it since they are still made.

[@bradthayer6782]

@@leesnow5859 are the contents acidic? If not, no problem, or perhaps they are tinned?

Blackbeard, now you owe it to your followers how to craft a copper knife. (You know, copper was the first metal used by Mankind, iron being so pricey at that epoch that only kings could afford it - for example, Tutankamun's dagger, made out of meteoritic iron.)

[@masemasemasie]

Yea. Just crimp it down in the vice so it stays together.

[@jamessnodgrass7360]

Looks like alot of fun. I noticed it trie to crack on the edges. Is that due to heat loss? Lunch looked good too. But you gotta grow or make a smaller spoon 🤭

[@BlackBeardProjects]

Thanks!!! Not sure why, first time forging a big piece of copper like so :)

[@ponelul699]

I think that because of work hardening. Hitting it with a hammer causes a lot of internal stress, making it harder to deform and less malleable which makes it prone to cracking.

[@polosandoval]

@@ponelul699 Well said. It work hardens fairly rapidly. Nothing a reheat and water quench can't fix.

Ah yes, tortellini. The traditional step after cleanup!

[@MrDoyley35]

What would you use a copper spoon for? There must be a unique use for a spoon made of such thermally conductive metal. The best I can think of is maybe a spoon for testing jam setting point. ( it would cool down the jam quickly so the jelling point could be assessed efficiently) Any chefs in the comments?

[@heathstott]

Just think you can now reheat your spoon in the forge to reheat your soup if it goes cold😃

Did you also check and see that tin, nickel and just about every coating on cookware also is not safe and can leech into your food? Or that maybe the food you eat is contaminated with micro plastics? Just saying bud. It's all bs

[@bonaventuraescodaisole461]

The maintenance and care required for this type of material is nothing compared to plastic or conventional pans and pots. If this material is not taken care of properly, a greenish layer called cardenillo can be created, which is toxic.
