How Far Can I Forge a Copper Ingot?

[@HandToolRescue]

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

[@notmemoe]

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

I now demand a spoon-off... One ingot, No casting just forging. "One Spoon to rule them all, One Spoon to find them, One Spoon to bring them all and in the darkness bind them."

I was like "Hmm, a spoon? Who would eat with such a huge spoon? Giants?" Then I almost started rolling on the floor when you ate with it. lol

I laughed out loud seeing Black Beard eat with the spoon.

Don't laugh at him he has entered the bronze age

[@danielstellmon5330]

Little big for me to eat with. More of a serving spoon to me.

[@cheffrin3751]

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.

[@noneyabidness9644]

Cool. I love smelting and forging videos. Having them in one video, is double the pleasure, double the fun.

[@Tremere1901]

AND cooking AND eating!!!

[@piconano]

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

[@Razdupleaseable]

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).

[@albvscommesincastello6346]

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@HansKnives]

Is that food dumplings? - -!

[@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.

[@bazbazich1823]

Liver, kidneys, lung fibrosis... do not use copper in everyday life without a special coating. We love you, take care of yourself))

[@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

[@Nontas83]

Copper needs special treatment to be used for cooking. Be careful...

[@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.

[@yakiramiro]

actually in india our daily household utensil are made of copper

[@ChuckUnderFire]

Anyone else thinking “it’s just a LITTLE too straight and needs a slight angle to the spoon end”?

[@1972Russianwolf]

wondering if it works better the way you are doing it (just heated red hot) or when annealed by quenching.

[@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?

[@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!

[@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

[@bobdriggers6111]

WHAT? ....No Ras El Hanout or fresh chopped mint......dang! .......Awsome spoon bro.

[@trebor217]

This is another fantastically soothing video. The results are always so wonderfully attractive. Thank you.

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.)

[@gothamantiquities2595]

Thank GOD you weren’t my family member back in the day! My mom used to tear me and my brothers up with the ole wooden spoon, you would be like hey Rose “ try this one and see how it works” YIKES LOL

[@michaelmartin9335]

I failed to understand the reason for heating up copper and forging it understanding copper being a very soft and flexible the only reason you would heat it while working it is to relieve the stress so it doesn't crack I don't know if there's much advantage gained in heating it up and then forging it but whatever

[@maxzzetron]

We are now waiting for a copper pot and other dishes. And the samovar (self-brewer)! * maybe they will finish it at least on this channel. Who knows will understand.*

[@joshuatremper5026]

don't eat acidic things with that. it can leach into your food and none of us want to see a video about you being in the hospital

[@Vault57]

And copper is an antibacterial metal, you won't even have to wash it! 🙂 On second thought, it would be the civilized thing to do.

[@ИлонМаск-з7ю]

The video is super, as always!!! I really like how your videos are shot. Tell me, what is the name of your video camera?

[@flamebeard10339]

If you keep touching that spoon, it will start shedding this black dust. No idea if it is safe to eat, but don't get it into your eyes.

[@ZombifiedWatermelon]

Welcome to the copper age. :-). Seriously nice job man. Need to make a fork and knife to go with it!

Pretty sure it’s unsafe to eat off of or out of raw copper. That’s why copper pots are coated with a safer metal. Be safe man.
