Turning An Old Cymbal Into a Basin Sink | Hammered Bronze Basin

[@WesleyTreat]

Brett's big, burnished-bronze bathroom basin! Beautiful!

[@skullandspade]

Woooooooot

[@rdavidr]

Daman man! thats slick 👌

[@skullandspade]

Yussssss

[@Brownstone31]

The sound it makes when the water pours into it is beautiful.

[@skullandspade]

I was really hoping that would happen

[@LivingtoDIYwithRachelMetz]

I love being able to see this in person! So damn stunning.

[@skullandspade]

Woohooooo! Thanks Rachel!

[@TrevorHigginsDustysqueak]

Can’t believe this worked and you pulled it off without tearing the bronze. That’s amazing. Stunning work as always!

[@skullandspade]

Thank you as always sir!

[@sebwo1397]

As a drummer I have to say: I love it

[@skullandspade]

Whew!

[@TwistedTwineWoodworking]

😍 HOLY SMOKES!! This is the epitome of inspirational!! Upcycling an old item into a whole new level and life!! And wow it’s beautiful! The experiment definitely worked!!

[@skullandspade]

Woohoo! Thank you Christy!

[@LooselyRigorous]

Now it needs an accompanying faucet. Amazing craftsmanship as always!

[@skullandspade]

Of course!

[@yellowmuginc]

This project is such a great example of your attention to detail and breadth of knowledge. What a beautiful project!

[@skullandspade]

Cheers brother

[@VonWalther2]

You had me at the green copper flames at the beginning to the lovely patina at the end. Great work.

[@skullandspade]

W00t!

[@chaoticlogic588]

The finishing shots are zen af. Love it.

[@skullandspade]

Thank ye

[@GetToKnowNature]

I'm stunned by the brilliance of this project. Both by your brilliance in coming up with the idea and also... it's so shiny and beautiful!

[@skullandspade]

Ooof, my heart.

[@heyimamaker]

It has such an earthy feel, and it's neat how quenching bronze doesn't harden it.

[@skullandspade]

Science is bonkers

[@CK-TD]

My dude. I am literally speechless. This is true quality craftsmanship. Thank you for sharing this and expressing your ideas and thoughts on this platform that has grown to be so clickbaity. This is true expression.

[@skullandspade]

I don't think we'll ever be a fan of "clickbaity"

[@gkkent]

I love that you made the sink your own!! Out of a cymbal!! Excited to see more of the details you add to the house!!

[@skullandspade]

It's definitely one of a kind

[@JohnMadeit]

Best cymbal solo ive heard all week 😆 the sink looks amazing.

[@skullandspade]

lol, thanks john

[@sgsax]

Absolutely stunning piece. That egg patina trick worked really well. Gave it some nice color and warmth. Thanks for sharing!

[@skullandspade]

Thank YOU Seth!

[@timm4519]

You have done it again sir! Throughly enjoy how you repurpose items and make functional art from them!!

[@skullandspade]

Thank you Tim!

[@Torsan1977]

So beautiful! Imagine all the joy of using this every day for years and years to come.

[@skullandspade]

I'm really looking forward to it!

[@DigaDesigns]

That is a very special piece for your new place. Shiny, Cap.

[@skullandspade]

Cheers Ryan

[@davebauerart]

Beautiful, a really interesting concept, well executed. The transformation when the texture was revealed with the scotch brite was really cool.

[@skullandspade]

I quite liked that as well

[@lesterleysath1000]

You might have created a whole sub industry for musicians outfitting their bathrooms!

[@skullandspade]

We will see ' )

[@garagemonkeysan]

Whoa so many different levels here. Working sheet metal AND working in brass are different universes, each requiring different skills/knowledge. Brave of you to challenge yourself. Gorgeous end product. Awesome serene film too. Mahalo for sharing! : )

[@skullandspade]

Thank you as always GMS

[@anthonywoodland1741]

You have the patience of a Saint. Beautiful work

[@skullandspade]

It's definitely a skill to be practiced.

[@joshgallant3136]

This was truly an incredible work of art brother Brett! Excellent video and work as usual!!

[@jonwills1957]

Your creativity is endless! I really like how you repurposed something else and made such a beautiful sink basin.

[@skullandspade]

Thank ye

[@reforzar]

Beautiful work and video. Can’t wait to see what’s next for the forged home!

[@skullandspade]

Thank you as always sir.

[@GrahamDallas]

Great results on your first attempt, what a beautiful piece, practical too.

[@skullandspade]

Darn tootin!

[@DanGamble]

Dude! Watching this whole process was mesmerising and edumacational on so many levels. That patina though!!

[@skullandspade]

I'm happy to hear that Dan. The patina was a real win.

[@TandaMadison]

I really like these basin style sinks an this was a perfect way to create a one of a kind piece with a story.

[@skullandspade]

Me too! Thank you as always Tanda, we do appreciate a good story.

[@masterofnone]

All we need is solid brass faucet to go with it. Great work as always ,man

[@skullandspade]

Of course we do

[@TheGrantAlexander]

There is a lot of symbolism in this project

[@skullandspade]

🤦🏼‍♂️

[@robb5207]

U smashed that one Brett fella really enjoyed u trying to experiment with something and seeing a great final piece of work/art/furniture tool thingy. Stay safe and keep the vids coming

[@skullandspade]

Cheers Rob

[@benbobisuthi7409]

Great to see your experiments turn out so beautiful!

[@skullandspade]

Cheers Ben!

wow Bret I really think that this is the best project that you have ever done here on KZbin excellent job please keep up the great work 👍 adam davenport from raleigh North Carolina

Wow, that patina looks amazing! Way to upcycle. Good work!

[@skullandspade]

Yussssssss

[@ajsironworks3937]

Nice vision. Wouldn’t have been able to see that possibility but I’m glad you did. Great work.

[@skullandspade]

Thank ye

[@williampeppers812]

I am a fan of the final outcome. Good work sir.

[@skullandspade]

Thanks William

[@LXWiseman]

What a beautiful thing you made Brett!

[@skullandspade]

Thank you Lucas!

[@tamurlane6]

As always great vid. I've done a lot of small work with copper and brass but never had the chance with bronze. Working it looks like it might be an amalgamation of the two which would make a lot of sense. Not nearly as crumbly as brass, and not as squishy as copper. The sink is beautiful and it's a really great idea!

[@skullandspade]

I think that's the right description "Not nearly as crumbly as brass, and not as squishy as copper."

[@turgworks4138]

That was the most relaxing thing I've ever watched

[@skullandspade]

Mission accomplished then.

[@wolfparty4234]

Stunning, I had to run to the bathroom after that!!🤣🤦🏻‍♂️ Great minds, create great work..! ❤️🙏🏻💪🏼🔥🔥🔥👍🏻

[@skullandspade]

Woot

[@Saskajohn]

Amazing work! Color is surreal...

[@skullandspade]

Thank you John

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Very interesting and very unique design there Brett. Very nice video this week. Turned out very cool. Love seeing what you make man. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend Brett. Design on. Fab on. Weld on. Forge on. Keep making. God bless.

[@skullandspade]

Thanks Jared

[@SchysCraftCo.]

@@skullandspade your very welcome my friend.

[@whazee]

Such cool! Many satisfying! 😍 I hope the patina only gets gets better over time and use.

[@skullandspade]

Can't wait to see how the colors develop over time.

[@vampyrew0lf]

7 chickens did not approve of your methods... However, I loved it. Keep up the ingenuity!

[@skullandspade]

That’s fair

[@gayle525]

That looks very cool. I love the look. Great job Brett!

[@skullandspade]

Thank you!

[@gayle525]

@@skullandspade my husband works at a factory that makes high end expensive sinks , bathtubs and toilets so when I see something better than they do I have to tell the maker how great a job they did. So for a first try you just plain rocked. Be proud, be very proud.

[@chybz]

Beautiful result, awesome video ! THANK YOU

[@skullandspade]

Thank you as always Remy!

[@karlp932]

Ooh that's a handsome thing. Good to see the results of the egg patina too, I've heard of that trick but not seen it used.

[@skullandspade]

I'd never heard of it, but absolutely had to give it a try

[@dragontattooee]

Beautiful experiment leads to beautiful sink

[@skullandspade]

Aye

[@jl3390]

Can't say I'm a fan of the "hammered" or "distressed" looks that are so popular today, but your end product is beautiful. Well done, as always!

[@skullandspade]

To each their own

[@fathead1968]

Beatiful Brett. And a very theraputic video!

[@skullandspade]

Mission accomplished then.

[@molegrip3860]

Cheers Brett- thanks for the education and the entertainment ;)

[@skullandspade]

Thank you as always!

[@projectdave7132]

proper job. seeing potential in materials found in random objects is pure gold (bronze?). great video!!

[@skullandspade]

I see what you did there

[@SylviePereiraSyPer]

Really Beautiful ! I love it. Good job Captain, as always ;)

[@oneshotme]

Looks great!! I know that it's going to be a beautiful addition to your home!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

I’m a drummer so maybe I’m biased but this is my favorite thing I’ve seen you make.

Huzzah! Such elegance!

[@skullandspade]

Thanks

[@Lmr6973]

You are an inspiration for sure. Thanks.

[@greatevil-one-too]

Love it! When it work hardens can you feel the material changing?

[@skullandspade]

A bit, the sound was more apparent than the feel

[@CrudeButEfficient]

Nicely done! Lots of back and forth, but the finished result was worth it! A little surprised that you didn't stick this on the Forged Home channel, feels like it would be right at home there. But it might be to advanced for that audience...

[@skullandspade]

This was a bit too specific for FH, but will make its way into the cabinetry/vanity project for the bathroom

[@CrudeButEfficient]

@@skullandspade Good thinking x2!

[@nikond90ful1]

Thanks for the video Brett. Excellent work as always. Keep an eye out for second hand panel beaters hammers and dollies. They are cheap and handy to have for this type of work. Keep safe and stay well.

[@skullandspade]

I'll keep an eye out, for sure

[@Merc_0158E7]

Can you say a little more about the egg thing? I imagine something the eggs emits causes a surface reaction. how did you discover such a thing. And im also curious why you didn't dish the drain position so it would let all the water out. Amazingly creative project, i love the hammer finish you left. Im picturing it with a small hand cranked well pump and a reservoir tank in the vanity. You could use a toilet tank valve to keep the pump reservoir full.

[@skullandspade]

The sulfur from the egg is what causes the reaction. I spent a some time googling about Patina's on Bronze.

[@swampy1584]

That looks fantastic

[@skullandspade]

Cheers Dave

[@Dfrantz87]

Well done brother.

[@skullandspade]

[@dereksstuff8395]

Very nice Brett. Good idea

[@justrustorations2432]

Top quality Brett !

[@skullandspade]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@dawnsparks7051]

I’d def buy that 👍🏽! Nice work.

[@skullandspade]

Noice

[@nr.17]

came out great. Also you should get some liver of sulfur, its fairly cheap and more effective for toning stuff like this than eggs, worth grabbing and messing around with on future projects, can get some beautiful toning

[@skullandspade]

Noted!

[@FeatherForge]

Such a cool idea. Really unique. 👌

[@skullandspade]

Thank ye

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

Neat experiment. Do you watch the colour of the bronze the same as with steel to estimate the temperature?

[@skullandspade]

I read some different "annealing Temp" forums, but ultimately keyed in on one that say "bronze with turn very copper under the flame, but immediately grey when flame is removed." That seemed to be the easiest to keep an eye on.

[@makeitkozi]

So cool! Great work as always

[@skullandspade]

Thank ye

[@shnepper]

Love it keep up the great work brother

[@skullandspade]

Cheers Brother Brett

[@NeverNotMaking]

This is a really good idea.

[@skullandspade]

Thanks

[@alterbratzi5037]

Great Experience 👌

[@reduniverse0]

Very nice ! Really ! And this hammering job must have been quite long!! How much times did you need to anneal the symbal or the sink or maybe the sinkal ? What did you do to the plug to put a patina on it ?

[@skullandspade]

Same process for the plug, and probably annealed 15-20 times just to avoid any cracking

[@Everythings_Adjustable]

A thing of beauty right there! 🔨👍😎

[@skullandspade]

Thank you sir
