How to make a copper box

[@bobfugazy4916]

Beautiful workmanship Rick! Thank you for sharing. And no soldering needed.

[@professorb3744]

The way you made that little break out of wood was ingenious. Loved that simplicity and effectiveness

[@katiedotson704]

Well done with nice clean bends. And since you asked, yes I do think some small brass rivets would add structural integrity and a bit more curb appeal to this lovely little eye catcher. Maybe some brass feet in the form of some suitably sized brass beads. Those were just some thoughts. I hope you don’t find me too forward.

[@gautambarua8260]

Simple tools. Mesmerizing skills and craftsmanship.

[@maxartone1]

Thank you

[@baltoman6709]

Thank you . I remember back in the mid to late 60’s watching my grandfather do metal work , woodwork , upholstery , and do it all by hand with minimal hand tools . You brought back some great memories . Thanks dude , I needed that . .

[@tonyarnez5193]

Beautiful work sir ! Ironically I was searching how to achieve a nice crisp square corner in copper, as I'm building a garage door that's going on a very expensive super modern home. I keep coming back full circle to all the small crafts people, still practising their trade that's thousands of years old, most people thought black smiths became obsolete, heck no it's a higher art form, super high in demand, architects are artists too they go nuts for well designed, precision fit, all hand crafted. What the architects look for is flush, so a lightswitch cover for example has to be flush with the wall, other than that, use your imagination. Modern architecture is minimalist, that means flat planes with crisp square corners and straight lines. If you the craftsman can come up ideas for products that work within those parameters, you could build yourself quite the nice online business. Thank you very much for this tip, greatest time ever to start up a home business, highly recommend it!

[@lenastiward8657]

Beautiful! I wish you would have given dimensions for measuring this project out. Very interesting using your custom hand made brake. I love that idea. Thank you for making this video for all of us.

[@felixcat9318]

A very beautiful, relaxing video with a very well chosen soundtrack. Seeing you make that beautiful little box was a real pleasure. Subscribed.

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Beautiful work! Love that old vise.

[@marlakash]

this is awesome. i bought a sheet of copper and brass today and will attempt to use your technique to make my own brownie cake pan. thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! your work is beautiful.

[@Gradechecker1]

This was lovely to watch. I want to make small boxes, and this was the first video. Thank you for posting. ❤

[@memethomas5402]

May i comission you to make 3 larger brass boxes to hold each of my 3 horses ashes.

[@Automedon2]

great video, Rick. I really liked the process and result

[@22nola]

Nicely done. It shows what fine work is possible with just a few good tools.

[@tinadriskell4469]

That is way cool! I am off to my shop!

[@andrestander2253]

Amazing work, thank you for showing us!!

[@umerologi]

Subscribed. Love your work from Pakistan.

[@texasgigi3684]

I couldn’t see what he stamped on top, or wrote on the bottom. Beautiful job!!!!

[@marcmckenzie5110]

You just solved my Christmas gift problem!

[@maxartone1]

Im glad to be a small part. May you have a blessed Christmas.

[@grunthostheflatulent269]

You showed me things and that makes this publication invaluable. Thank you!

[@maxartone1]

Im glad you enjoyed it and found it useful. I have learned so much watching others. I am glad to be able to pass it on.

[@metroplexchl]

So beautiful. Well done sir.

[@marcosaraujo2445]

Ficou bom, ficaria melhor caso você tivesse colocado as dobras da caixa para dentro, a tampa ficou sem encaixe ?? Você soldou as quinas da tampa ??

[@tonyarnez5193]

Just thought of a product idea .... how about a copper recessed toilet paper holder , has to be inset into the wall, crisp square corner & straight lines , it also has to transition seamlessly into the drywall. Not a large item, you could ship that easily ! If you had a line of different bathroom products, I bet you would be very busy filling orders. It's no big investment, make one see if people like it, then make more based on the action you get.

[@onefifthtoofifthwedfifthbr5371]

Hey Tony, how about you make something and I’ll figure out how to get people to wipe their asses with it?

[@kenkarpowicz3455]

Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

[@baltoman6709]

I like your bending tools .

[@maxartone1]

Thanks

[@nebukadnezar7519]

What thickness is the Copper?

[@jonkwilloughby]

Love it!

[@SammytheBammy1]

Beautiful work! I am going to build an emblem for a cupola that I made. It's going to be a challenge.

[@maxartone1]

Thank you. Id love to see ur work. Please post pix when it done.

[@SammytheBammy1]

Rick Thompson : OK, but it’s going to take me a while. I’m still finishing up the cupola. Made it out of Azek.

[@siriusaboutit]

what is the measuring tool used from 4:20-4:55? great work...and a couple of really nice tools!

[@bbbbbdddbbbbbdb]

proportional divider

[@Theresa-z2h]

what gauge copper did you use please?

[@JustJennysSandBox]

Thank you for your posting. I have a question please, what is the name of the tool you used to score the mark in the copper?

[@maxartone1]

Its called a marking gauge. You can find them in wood and metal or make your own. Amazon and good hardware should carry them.

[@danielduarte8990]

What is the name of the tool used to determine the center? A beautiful gauge.

[@PrasadGbv-k6o]

How much bro

[@Rich-oq6lt]

Great video. Do you know the model of Weiss shears you have?

[@BrentDaughertyMe]

I like your technique to fold in the edges so you don't have a seam to weld or solder together. Do you have any issues with things coming loose or trying glue?

[@maxartone1]

None ever has come loose

[@lindabingham394]

very cool work sir i like it a lot

[@maxartone1]

thank you

[@seawa6471]

Beautiful work! What gauge are you using?

[@rhapsodyhooks6641]

Looks good. thanks

[@michaelvaughn2287]

Really you put your name to it with that lid ?!

[@activatedaffirmations3718]

What are the dimensions of the first sheet of cut copper?

[@activatedaffirmations3718]

As well as the second sheet size dimensions! I’m going to make one! Looking forward to buying something from you as a thank you for this video once I’ve completed one

[@quebraho]

how do you call the tool at 6:04 ?

[@maxartone1]

It is called a marking gauge. There are several kinds. Here is a link for amazon: www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=marking+guage

[@quebraho]

thanks a lot

[@mattrobertw1991]

What thickness copper sheet did you use here? Thanks.

[@maxartone1]

Matt Wynn, 12oz. For larger boxes I use 16oz. Copper sheet is measured by ounces of weight per square foot

[@mattrobertw1991]

Rick Thompson, great thanks!

[@djones9122]

Matt Wynn the same as your head

[@marymary5494]

👌💕

[@danielm9062]

How much is the 16 oz sheet and were do you get it hobbie shops Dan in ohio

[@maxartone1]

I doubt your hobby shop will sell it. If not, check roofing supplies and commercial / industrial metal suppliers. there are also lots of places online that sell. Copper is not sold by gauge as most metals are. Its sold by weight per square foot. So 16oz copper means one foot weights 16 ounces. Copper prices change often, its currently about $7-8 per pound as of April, 2018 for copper sheet.

[@SammytheBammy1]

Daniel: I went to a local roofing supply store and they wanted $16/sq ft for a 2x3 piece. I then found a local roofer and he sold it to me for $9.50 a sq ft. He even gave me for free a stick of solder, an extra sheet of copper that he couldn’t use and plenty of advice on how to work on my cupola weathervane (priceless).

[@mahimac8126]

Great craftsmanship! Where can I buy those shears?

[@maxartone1]

They are vintage wiss. A friend bought it at a estate sale and gave them to me. I cleaned them up and sharpened them. I love them. I use them every day. I did a quick Ebay search and this was the first result. www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-WISS-18-METAL-TIN-SNIPS-13-3-4-INLAID-CRUCIBLE-STEEL-HIGH-CARBON-SHEARS/391970878942?hash=item5b4348f5de:g:WAsAAOSwUg9abhc- If you search you should be able to find a good item. If need be to remove rust, soak in vinegar for a way and steel wool. Then sharpen the edge. Be careful sharpening that you don't create a gap between the jaws. I sharpen the bevel edge. Let me know if you have any more questions. Sharing information is what will keep the beautiful crafts alive.

[@maxartone1]

And Wiss still make great shears. But I doubt they are as good as the vintage.

[@billyproctor9714]

Thanks for sharing this with us Rick. You have a voice, why not use it to convey a little bit more knowledge in the same time frame, even a voice over. Totally ment as constructive Rick, Cheers, Billy in Canada

[@ll1881ll]

Nice work. Now clean up your shop, it’s very messy

[@djones9122]
