Sherwood Tinning

Complete re-tinning of a copper pan

[@WINCHANDLE]

With everyone stuck at home, I bet a lot of people are addressing long-deferred tasks of getting their cherished copper pots retinned. I have a little blacksmith shop so will try DYI. Main problem is getting really old oxidized crud off so the tin can flow and adhere.

[@tjfrance]

Hello, very nice work! It's a pleasure to see a craftsman like you in his art!

[@Moroni108]

Thank your for your video Sir! I can't tell you how much it means to see a talented craftsman at work. This really is something awesome to see in light of how most stuff is made today coming out of China, and when it breaks, it's cheaper to throw it away and get another cheap "non-heritage" piece of crap from China. I would rather pay a little more, get better or maintain better quality product, and support a professional craftsman who's always hard at work!!

[@morganfreeman5171]

Nice to see you wearing protective gear, what an amazing work you do !

[@Elldeeve]

Amazing how you put a small hot pan into water and it changes into a much larger pan. I didn’t know that’s how they are made..

[@BlendedWhiskey]

That's some fantastic work my friend

[@realdeal485]

Please give me all your copper pans so I can have them silver lined!!!! Gorgeous work and collection!!! I am in love with Mauviel pans!! I found 3 total in a thrift shop for $5 each lol... Someone did not know what they were! 2 of them are the super older heavy guage before they used mauviel 1830 stamps.. I am guessing it is the 3.3 mm stuff....Just Mauviel.. made in france... No 1830 part..My small 7 inch saucepan weighs a whopping 4.1 lbs lol!!! I am looking for the silver lined stuff...

[@metroplexchl]

Beautiful work sir!

[@longfade]

Beautiful artisan work.

[@davinci2827]

Hi sir, you’re truly an artist. Is tin lined safe to eat from ? Does it leech any harmful chemicals etc. Is the queens food made in this type of cookware ? Also does the queen use a copper tin lined kettle for tea water? Thanks if any one can spare some knowledge 💙👍🏻

[@johnnyjimj]

What are the washing solution, the flux and tinning paste made of?

[@jakobsolkr4619]

Hi Nick That's a very nice and informative video. Thanks! I do have some questions though. What do you use as a flux, and what material do you use to distribute the tin? A pad of leather? and is it flux you have in that little bowl? yours sincerely

[@phoenix333333333]

We are wanting to clean and retin our heavy copper pots. Where can we find info and supplies?

[@jordanbjj]

Great work! What fabric or cloth are you using to spread the tin around? Thanks!

[@WINCHANDLE]

You can use wads of fiberglass insulation

[@jflsdknf]

This is awesome but what if you want to keep the mirror finish on your pans? I don't want someone taking a brillo pad to my copper..do all retinners do this?

[@jordanbjj]

Lol, it is a common way of spreading the tin, just look at the final shot of the pans if you need reassurances.

[@jflsdknf]

Jordan Blea Im talking about when they polish and clean the pans.

[@jordanbjj]

Re tinning and cleaning, very different things lol

[@lass-inangeles7564]

Just buff out your copper pans using Flitz metal polish or any other and a table mounted buffing wheel. So easy. Don't ask this grouchy old man who does not respond.

[@garyb2164]

Brilliant clip. Once an old copper pan has been ‘retinned’correctly, what is the expected timeframe you would get out of the new pan?

[@JohnHayes-Cambridge]

avoid overheating it, and take some care and they will last 10 years or more with daily cooking.

[@WINCHANDLE]

I need to get an abrasive wheel like he has (dark red)

[@Atreides32586]

Hi Nick, great video! Would you mind sharing what kind of abrasive wheel you use to remove the tin? I've been searching all over for something similar to remove tin solder from some old copper roofing & finials, but everything I get is either too rough and gouges the copper, or is too soft and just buffs the tin rather than removes it. I'd really appreciate any advice you could give!

[@skankhunt_-42]

David A Silva closest thing I can think of is getting a bench grinder and swapping one of the wheels out for a slightly abrasive wheel. Hope I helped!

[@dougwigginsnco]

Is this a scotchbrite wheel? looks like it to me..

dose this only work on copper or can you do the same or similar techniques to iron and steel to?????

[@garystandke669]

Only copper

[@nickt.4731]

Might I also nag you and ask what kind of wadding you use to apply the tin? Thank you.

[@nickt.4731]

Like insulation?

[@carls.6746]

hello. i have a 1942 to 1945 boy scout steel mess kit. everything but the cooking pan was tinned. the tin coating is in very rough shape and in order to use it i have to remove the tin and i was just going to season it like the pan. but i have no idea how to remove the tin. i used a stainless steel scouring pad but to no avail. do you have a way to remove tin from steel that you would be willing to share?

[@garystandke669]

He used an abrasive wheel. search for Nylon Fiber Buffing Polishing for options

[@Moroni108]

Wow, I was just on this video for the very same reason! I have the same mess kit, and the tin coating is real bad, tarnish and wear. Did you ever get your mess kit cleaned up? If so, what did you find that worked out for you?

[@carls.6746]

@@Moroni108 i did not. the reason is because i later found out that because most of all the good steel was taken for the war effort these kits where made using low quality steel that would leech nastiness into the food thus why it was tinned. unless you can find someone that can re-tin it for you i would not use it. however it at least came with a decent carbon steel pan that can be used after a proper seasoning. good luck and sorry for the bad news.

[@Moroni108]

@@carls.6746 Wow, I totally appreciate your response. You know, now that you mention that, I was toying with the idea of just replace the carbon steel fry pan onto an 1960's BSA quality aluminum kit. They fit because I checked. The set would be lighter and generally a fry pan is what is used for concerning the higher cooking temperatures. Thank you!

[@carls.6746]

@@Moroni108 your welcome. i would also like to warn, when it comes to the aluminum not to cook acidic stuff in it such as tomato sauce and lemon juice etc. thats why i was hoping the steel pot was in good condition. i would also use plastic utensils on the plate as to further limit aluminum intake. ive been thinking about looking for a titanium pot that will fit. whatever you decide i hope it works out as or better then intended.

Nice demo, but... you left us all in the dark about your flux, tin application, what cloth to wipe off melted tin with, final buffing product and wheel. Just a craftsman doing his thing and we wasting our time watching your unexplained useless video.

[@creativi-tea398]

Or perhaps it's a craftsman showing his trade in the hopes that people might give him their custom and pay him for his services. Not everything on KZbin has to be a tutorial for you to do it yourself. Maybe support small tradesmen and the work that they do?

@@creativi-tea398 Yes, I would support my local artisans. Absolutely. Same as my local small businesses. But the title is deceptive. It looks like a demo. Should be more clear. A demo is different from an infomercial.
