[@Big222Dog]

That was a very nice project and the video was really good, just action, nice shots and no talking. I like it all.

[@ddistrbd1]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@CodyDWorks]

Love these cinematic videos Great job you two!

[@danamaggiore1903]

Very nice work love that bowl now is your back doing hope its better God bless

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

It's doing better thank you for taking the time to inquire :-)

[@benjamin_griffin]

That was really nice. Relaxing even. 👍

[@user-xe4ts1lj9p]

Awesome craftsmanship hope you you get .y questions where can I get a impression block for the bowls plus how you get the bowl to stay shiny is it a wax

[@bryanclark920]

This is such a good video.

[@craigkeller]

Beautiful work! Thank you.

[@Uncle_Bucks_Forge]

Beautiful!

[@69maistang]

Watching this from Sri Lanka. Can you please share what hammers you use ? Can't seem to find the correct hammers here. Many thanks !

[@DeepSouthern_Outdoors]

I am wanting to do this in my shop. How do you keep the bowl to stay sitting up? Did you forge a flat base?

[@blacksteel2434]

Hey Roy I am an aspiring blacksmith I almost have everything I need I would really like to know wherever you buy your copper thanks

[@sprocketsrocket]

Fantastic Video!!!! Quick question. Is there a history or theory about round bottom v/s flat bottom bowls?

[@boblasley5640]

Very nice! What is the thickness of the copper sheet you used?

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

10ga or 1/8" :-)

[@christopherg7551]

Really nice work! Im a stone worker , I have all the polishing tools you. Id like to try it my self. Question, I have sheet copper from a house demo , it's fairly thick , is that copper food grade? is there a difference in food grade and copper used for building? If Im not heating it up should I care?

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

There is differences but nothing that would effect it's ability to cook food in... But you will need to tin line the items if they're to cook in

[@christopherg7551]

@@ChristCenteredIronworks thanks for your response. Im gona crank up the coal stove and do a winter project in the shop. I wont be doing anything with food. Just making a L.Z . for the keys.

[@joeofnotrades]

How much would you sell that for and would it take long to sell?

[@sarahdidomenico6854]

how thick should the copper be? I'm trying to make a small bowl for a water feature, not much for function besides that.

[@SynthToshi]

where can I get a piece of copper like this everywhere i seen its very expensive and not as big.

[@imprimisxo]

Beautiful! What is the packing material you use?

[@branni6538]

Isn't copper is different to steel in its quenching? Quenching actually softens the metal but to harden you heat to red glow and let it cool naturally..........totally opposite to steel right?

[@shadetreeforge]

Excellent video for sure! who did the video work!?

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Jessica and I both did the video& editing work for this one :-)

[@tinnyblacksmith3434]

Do you put feet on your bowls or do you leave it round???. Thanks for the video and good bless you and your family

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Most of the time I leave them round. I have done feet once before. And sometimes customers request a flat in the bottom.

[@imaweirddude]

Really nice! How thick is the metal in the bowls?

[@tomosdavies2353]

Really nice video! What type of polishing mop did you use first? The one you used straight after the forging process? Thanks From Wales in Uk

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

The first set of wheels used was medium grade scotchbrite bought from tp tools here in America :-)

[@therenaissancewoman2080]

What gauge are you using in this demo?

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Approximately 10 gauge

[@therenaissancewoman2080]

@@ChristCenteredIronworks Would 26 guage be too thick to do this with?

[@MaxMustermann-xc4ul]

Really nice video and even nicer bowl! Really enjoyed it! I would like to try forging something and can't afford an anvil yet (still 16), is a flat piece of metal good enogh for starters?

[@quirlmaster9011]

To start out a flat piece of steel is certanly enough. It may miss some of the 'shapes' you find on an anvil like a horn or hardy hole, but you can absolutely start smithin.

[@MaxMustermann-xc4ul]

@@quirlmaster9011 thank you very much for the quick response

[@peanut924]

Beautiful! So hand forged means hammered? If so, why not just say hammered? I'm curious as a kitten!

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Hand forged refers to the forming/shaping of the bowl in general.

[@stickywicketful]

Hello, Did I see you quench the copper in oil? If so what type of oil?

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Nope not oil just dirty water :-)

[@stickywicketful]

Thank you! Beautiful work

[@stickywicketful]

I want to do some copper work, I wonder will scotch brite pads by hand be able to give such a gorgeous finish

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

I would not want to do that myself but I suppose it would be theoretically possible... Most likely you would not obtain the same finish as what you see here. Hope this helps God bless

[@daredeviltm159]

Wow

[@williambarnhartblacksmith414]

Do you get those boxes made or do you make them yourself? That's a beautiful product box. Thank you.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

I get them made from a custom woodwork guy :-)

[@TL....]

when can i buy this bowl

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

It's available now through my website

[@williambarnhartblacksmith414]

That's a beautiful bowl, especially with the ball peen marks.

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Thank you very much :-)

[@cavendischw5885]

This is not a hammering bowl. Shame.

[@marathikavitasuresh]

But take care brother / friend! Copper and brass utensils should never be used with sour lemon tamrind vinegar curd etc . substances. Chemical process is harmful to the body if used for kitchen . For that one has to do a special coating. Similarly, copper and brass utensils should never be used for milk curd buttermilk etc. But you cannot use it with lemon tamrind vinegar curd etc and any other sour chemicals. Copper utensils cannot be used in the kitchen because the chemical process of lemon tamrind curd etc and + copper happens quickly, it is harmful for the body. In India, copper utensils are used only for drinking water and only for cooking plain rice. lemon vinegar tamrind curd Vinegar etc .used to clean copper utensils. same way Brass utensils are used for cooking but that also used after special coating for copper and brass pots. you can see youtube video available how coating inside done using chemicals in India, and that also you have to regularly coat as per your use , how many times you use that pots.
