How to Solder on Art to Copper

Рет қаралды 2,619

If you have German silver, bronze or brass plate or even tin you want to solder onto copper (or even copper art itself you want to put on copper), this is a method that works great. The trick is to have the pieces pre-formed pretty well to the body beforehand so it lays snug as much as possible.

Nice job. Those will look great when polished. I have never seen a torch tip get hot like that before.

I think I need to get a new one - this one is 10 years old and getting cracked. It DOES get stupid hot fast.

What gage copper is good for making cups and where to get it and tools. Thank you for your time, keep the videos coming.

You can use 12oz or 16oz copper for making cups. The tools are tricky - you can collect vintage ones and clean them up like me, or they do make new Pexto machines still. :) Thanks for watching!

hi sara great what you are doing do you use clay in your work, what is the material that you are using it in your work

I don't use clay. I do hire pottery artists for some of the House Copper line, but I myself am no potter.

Would silver brazing the seam be too excessive of heat for a part this thin?

Likely! I only have done bronze brazing, and that requires a ton more heat and acetylene, so yup, it would burn right through this. Unless there's a low temp silver soldering or brazing out there, I wouldn't do it.
