Years ago, I did a few tables and chairs with large copper inserts. Best way to avoid all the headaches you dealt with was to waterjet the copper. I traced the patterns from the wood for the inserts, moved the paper patterns to CAD and traced them -- and then those shapes could be cut by the waterjet guy on a 4x4ft table from a single plate sheet. Then a bit of cleanup of the wood slots and copper parts to fit. I used epoxy to bond together. And I sunk the copper inserts about a paper thickness below the surface. Far easier to sand wood than it is copper. Still labor intensive to build -- but probably at least a week less of work then you spent doing the one show here. [Only thing I'd do different today is I'd just use the digital probe scan to get the wood inserts directly into CAD to save even more time.] This table you created looks fabulous!!!

The end result actually took my breath away. The walnut is sooooo beautiful! It would have been breathtaking without any bronze inserts, but with them - wow. It’s so unique and the gold inserts contrast so well with the dark walnut. I honestly would love to see this channel branch out into more furniture making in addition to guitar builds. Combining metal and wood is something that other KZbinrs just aren’t doing and really sets you apart.

Hi, New sub here. I am dean and I pour silver, copper and occasionly plasser gold to be cleaned up and partially refined. Looking at your pours I am thinking you need to pour while the pieces are vertical and have LOTS of small (1/16 inch or smaller) vents that come out from the pieces and do a 90 Deg turn up to a larger 1/4 inch breather that is above the pour in question. I have a video where I make Chopstics that you can view to get the idea what I am sugesting my new friend. For pours that long I suggest at least 6 vents per side. Stop by one day for a visit. I hope you enjoy my videos. You are pouring a lot of metal so the vents need a bunch as some back pressure but enough to vent that pressure. Keep your parting powder down to a dull roar as well. Use talk as it won't make so much burning gases that will create bubbles as cornstarch will burn and make bubbles where talk will not as it is a consumable. Give all that a try and let me know hownyou make out. Good luck eh.

@@droolingfangirl Hi, I work with both copper and silver and compared to each other Silver, both have their own characteristics. Silver transfers heat far faster than copper big time. Copper though has a higher melt point and is generally harder to work with. Borax as a flux works well .Almost a have to to use. When I am working with (copper) I need more heat. A Mapp torch alone isn't enough to get a good melt to it. I use a propane/oxygen setup that is adequate but acceteline is better if you need to get a better and quicker melt. Generally copper is just plain harder to work with. I hope this helps.

@JimYeats
@JimYeats 4 ай бұрын
Sort of. With that said, none of the intricately poured shape is visible, so in reality for any of these metal insert style tables you could just get an 1/8” piece of sheet copper (or whatever metal you’re wanting) and just cut it to fit the top of the voids and do a little gentle shaping and then use epoxy as a fill underneath. Glue or epoxy in the top pieces, sand them down like you normally would, and that’s going to use a lot less copper and be a lot less work. The edge piece you just bend like you would any metal.

They cannot fill a mould with no top! This is because metal is heavy and unpredictable. It could splash out in any direction. As you can see from the overflow, it also would not solidify flatly :). Metal has different fluid dynamics from the fluids we are used to seeing. Also remember that metal cools and solidifies very quickly, so they kind of have to dump it in.

I'm guessing you aren't near St. Louis because I'd love to shoot your stuff. But you really should hire someone with experience in product photography with a real studio and pro lighting. The pictures of this table on your website just do not show off the copper. It looks like a dull gray in all but one shot. Same with the video reveal. And you could use the photos as part of your reveal to up the production quality. It would be an added expense, but you work so long and so hard on this stuff, it really should be captured in the best light possible.

If you do want to try again, two things. They make copper powder that you can put in epoxy. It has the full color of copper without being so soft it dents. Do some tests, see if you like it. And two, if you do go full bronze again, the trick is to use auto body sand paper, not woodworking sand paper. I do copper art myself and the metal is wicked, tricksy and false.

Thats the most beautiful table i have ever seen. I love the combination of copper and wood instead of excessive use of epoxy.

Worked in a bronze foundry years ago. Toward the end of the heating process, right before we would pour, we added a ball of zinc and a handful of lead shot to the pot. Never understood the science of it all, but those additions did make the bronze flow into the mold better.

Wow, incredible work. “Why is this table so expensive? I’ll just get a cheap one from China.” People don’t see the artistry in work like this, the time and effort that is required. It’s incredible!

As metal worker/m,achinist I could have told you that any carbide tool is more than capable of dealing with the bronze alloy you ended up using. The main thing with working metal is patience. You cannot take big cuts without very rigid and heavy machinery. You were talking about 1/32" (0.03125") as if it was a small cut but, in metal working terms for a hand held tool, it is huge. Cuts of half that would be more normal. I work in a Mens Shed (Australian style makers space) and the wood workers there talk about 1/16" as a small cut while I am calling a 0.025" cut big. Tolerances go down enormously in metal. And lets not get started on pieces that get dangerously hot while being cut! Your inventiveness in coming up with ways of working the metal without doing irreparable harm to that lovely piece of walnut are a credit to you.

This is insanely beautiful. I keep watching these metal cast videos and always end up thinking I'd better not try this myself. But at least it's pleasing to watch and you make it obvious why such a piece of art will cost you a thousand of euros and more.

That's a gorgeous table, I love it!. The bronze filling the gaps is so much more aesthetically pleasing than epoxy slab tables. Amazing job! And a little hairy too with the circular saw chugging through thick block of metal 😯😅 And omg, I just filtered your most watched. A crayon guitar wt!! Expect to see further comments! 😁

What a beautiful work of art! You are a very skilled craftsman. You know, I figured that table would cost upwards of 10000 bucks so I was surprised to see it sold on your site for 8500. From the work, skill and materials I'd say someone got a piece of art for a bargain price.
