Raise Copper Vessel 4b - Making a rim

This is the third time uploading this video. Each of the past attempts resulted in a video with the soundtrack from part 4a being substituted for the track I uploaded. hopefully, this time you will be able to hear it correctly.
In this video I am showing how to add a rounded rim to the small bowl. You could also use a dapping tool but in this case the dap and the ball of my chasing hammer were about the same size. Using the hammer frees up one hand to turn the bowl while hammering the edge.

Great!!! I decided to check out KZbin and see what I could learn about copper. Then guess who I found doing a video! I should have known. I'm getting addicted to KZbin........always something to learn.

Super helpful video..clear..concise... and presented w a very simplistic vibe!

Beauoootee! 🌟✨

Craftsmanship as opposed to spinning the shape into a bowl. But you did start from a nice flat sheet of copper from a factory. If you have time and the inclination one day it would be interesting to see you work & create something from a lump of copper. Thanks for the upload & best wishes

What gauge copper and did you cut disc yourself? Did you do anything to the sharp edges?

[@bobfugazy4916]

Thank you Sage, that was very interesting. How do you know when to anneal the copper, by sound or hardness?

[@Ceropegia]

After working with the metal for a while you will know. the metal stops moving, so You could say by the hardness. Copper ( not brass) will tolerate a little more working Like planishing or rounding out the shape, but I find it is better to just anneal after each round of raising. Thanks for watching.

Something about the hammers says my thumb nail will be gone before the bowl is done.

Your video is very helpful for me as a beginner. What is the thickness of the copper plate you used?

[@Ceropegia]

The sheet is probably 18 gauge in this video but now 20 g is my standard. That is for the smaller pieces and some with chasing. However, I have recently finished a large silver cup in 18 G which has a lot of chasing and repousse. 20 g is adequate for a beginner and you will be able to do a lot with it. 18 g is should be for larger pieces like platters, trays and large vases, you will see that easily as you make more things. ( even though I used it for most everything when I was beginning) Have fun and thanks for watching.

[@Spthomas47]

6 years later... How did it work out?

[@joelhull3473]

What do you charge to make a piece like this? That's a ton of hammer work! Awesome work! Thanks for sharing!

Go look at his work especially the silver work. I can't find where he actively sells any of his work direct. sagereynolds.com/

Boy was I wrong. www.etsy.com/shop/SageArt

[@christineadams2256]

i didn't get to see the part where you made the shape of the bowl. it only showed the last 2 steps.

[@Ceropegia]

The first video is the Raising a Copper Vessel, Start by Sinking, then go to Raise Copper Vessel part 2 , the videos are numbered after that. Thanks for watching.

You learn hammered onto silver please.🙏🙏🙏

[@Ceropegia]

Hammering on Silver is the same as for copper, You may have to anneal a little more but the hammer work is the same. Thanks for watching.

you can tell he's good because all his fingernails aren't black'n'blue

[@mamasbotanicalsfarm7538]

What gauge copper and did you cut disc yourself? Did you do anything to the sharp edges?

[@Ceropegia]

The piece is 18 gauge, I cut the disk with shears and filed the edges. That's just a standard practice. Some times I also sand the edges before raising the disk. Thanks for watching!
