Raising a Copper Vessel, Start by Sinking

Geht auch ohne Vertiefung im Holz

I love raising but I do not have the equipment to do things like that these days. 😥

Thank you for sharing

thanks for the video, this is helpful info.

Then how you polish it to mirror surface you use a grinder stone a brush or a liquid

Love the simple tools and the beautiful outcome. What is the best method for making the indentation in the piece of wood?

Ive been having a hard time getting my bowls to sink, does anyone have any tips I could try? Working a stump setup like this one atm

Really nice to see how you work and explain what you’re doing and the sound of the hammer is all the music l need

Why didn’t you anneal it after found the center?

My new passion! Thank you! :))))

Thanks Sage. I appreciated your real time cadence with the multiprocess techniques. I learned a lot and will try to apply on my projects. Your skill and technique are impressive and your generosity with them is bracing.

How thick is the disc?

Very quick work and nice work, would help you if you polish your hammer head a little better, even with that you smoothed it out very nicely. Thanks for the video.

Any idea on where to buy these disc's not at $22 each per disk?

the curled sides looked better
:)

You use a double strike.
Are both strikes in the same place and strength?
Is this the preferred method, or a personal thing to maintain a rhythm?

Take care.

This is great! we are going to make our own copper sinks for our skoolie build instead of buying them! We will give your technique a go for the bathroom vessel sink! Thanks for sharing @Sage Reynolds! - Erin + Brian too

it's pretty. I like copper too

cool .. how do u get the depression into the stump ? is that a type if drill bit ?

WOW !! Very interesting !

Welcom my steiner childeren

Thanks for uploading! Very informative 👍

I used to start off by sinking. I stopped, because the metal is “pushed out” and thinned. I have gone to using wood stakes.

Excellent tutorial, thanks for making it. If I wanted to make a bowl, say 12 inches in diameter, what size disk should I begin with?

Eeee

Forgive me for saying but that's called dishing not raideing you use stiles to raise metal ( impaments that goes in the hole of your anvil )

I prefer to take a heavier hammer and forge harder. This product can be forged in 2 minutes.

This is not raising. This is dishing. I'm right?

....It appears as if the "ball pien" isn't very smooth in shape!... it looks like it is imparting a bit of a sharp dent, with each blow.

I’m going to fall asleep listening to that tapping lol

nice vid man I’m starting to get into this stuff , copper is such a great metal to work with, have yo ever made a copper dolphin , my mom loves them and I wanna make her one , any tips or any vids I should check out

Im suprised you dont anneal the copper halfway through this proccess?

hipsters invented everything... but esp. deafness...

that was a nice reggae beat there had me busting a dance while I watch

Excellent craftsmanship buddy. 🤔

It does not harden... it stiffens... due to having a 3dimensional form while creating the dish.
After much hammering, the points of impact do densify .... annealing will resoften it there.

Good work and thanks for the tutorial.

Very nice video. Look forward to more! I don’t know if this is relevant; (I’m old! Lol) but as a young man I went to one of the finest auto-body schools in the country. They had us hold the hammer with the thumb at the 12 o’clockwork and directly aimed at the workpiece. The degree of control was much finer. Keep ‘em coming!

What great music comes from your hammering mate. Excellent rhythm, full Body sound with a deep kick and the the pitch is elevating as you rotate the disc and truly working that turntable.

NICE! you had reprofiled the head of your pien or not?

I love the videos!! I am a self taught Jeweler and metalsmith and enjoy seeing what everyone else is doing!

Kids stuff!

The copper is pretty

Two words: Bossing Mallet!

A ball pien should not leave gouges in the metal you need to make the end a ball.

Whats with the bang bang, you look so clumsy with the hammer.

so you do need to go back and anneal it. that was something i was wondering about.
as im sure if the copper were overworked it would eventually tear.
