I cannot get over how magical sandblasting is! Like the piece is shedding it's aged shell to reveal something like new 💙

[@bobmetcalfe9640]

I used to do sandblasting for a living. Depending on the fineness of the sand it does remove a fair bit of the material. And if there is a hole in your glove and the sand hits your finger, stings like a bastard. :)

My great grandparents had almost the exact same kettle, just slightly different shape, it's mine now 😁

[@nlmvanderburg]

I recommend getting yourself an old trailer hitch ball and polish it up. They make for good anvils to reshape rounded things just like this teapot. Best thing is, they fit inside the teapot if you have the right vice or mounting jig! We use these in metalsmithing to form rounded surfaces (and sometimes teapots too!) edit: another method you can use is to mount a hammer into the vice and use that as your inside "anvil" surface, and then use your mallet on the outside to tap it gently. The key is to keep the material (teapot wall in this case) in between both hammer surfaces.

You don't hammer on the dolly hammer just off it ... you stretch the metal directly hammering in and ditch the hitch ball go get autobody hammer and dolly set . Many great videos on here on how it works

[@carolynallisee2463]

It isn't until you see a video like this that you can come to appreciate just how much work was needed to make something as humble as a kettle in the olden days. In the modern age of mass production and throwing out of sound but old and obsolete items, we've forgotten that often times, something like that kettle might have been a treasured family heirloom and passed down the generations from mother to daughter. And it sheds light on why so many old kitchens hadracks that bright shiny copper pots and pans would hang from!

Beautifully done. I had an identical kettle to this one which I loved but never used. Gave it away brand new in the box a number of years ago. I hope someone is loving and using it now, as hopefully this one, too, will be loved and used. Thank you - such a wonderful gift (skill!) you have. ❤️

[@Gilren1]

Restoration is not about making a new thing out of an old one, but to preserve it and show it's marks of history. So sad to see that this is al gone...

[@feliciascott6874]

I would have been hesitant to sandblast soft copper but I have to admit this restoration came out beautifully. Thanks for restoring such a lovely kettle.

[@Rowgue51]

You can use a multitude of different mediums with a sandblaster depending on how delicate the piece is. Glass bead medium is ideal for things like copper because the round shape prevents damaging softer surfaces and it also puts a decent shine on the surface minimizing the polishing you have to do later. If you have something extremely delicate, ground walnut shell or corn cob medium is the way to go.

[@estebangarcia6092]

[@SeekingTheLoveThatGodMeans7648]

Scrubbing with a plastic bristle brush and a salt and vinegar paste could have worked too, even without metal brushing the oxide off first. But there's no denying that this came out looking beautiful and it seemed the copper was thick enough to withstand the sanding of high spots without developing holes. Typically the insides of copper kettles are tin plated/clad to avert excessive amounts of copper getting into the water. This would be a good idea for any kettle being put to practical use and would be another guard against developing holes.

Fantastic demonstration of your skill and perseverance in bringing back this sad little teapot to its former glory! As for the "patina brigade"....
