I know I'm late to the party (it's an older video)... but just an old guy getting into copper shaping... just wanted to reach out and say absolutely amazing and thank you! You're one of the few I've watched that talk to the camera like I'm sitting there chatting! Lived watching over your shoulder- BRAVO my friend!
What a great instructor. I bet he and I would hit it off well. I love making things and also watching. I never even thought about making spoons from copper being a wood spoon and bowl carver. I started out as a lover of all things old and that led me into my grandfather's shop where I would watch and make small things out of wood with him by my side and with the patience of an angel. I just loved all of his antique tools that hung around his shop. They were all used to because back in the early 1900s they made things to last. That is where I first got the wood bug and creating and for my 10th birthday, I was given a workbench from my parents. Now that I have my own workshop I have my collection of antique woodworking tools all around my shop. I have many of my grandfather's tools and when I'm not in a rush to build something, I take down his tools and just create. If I close my eyes I can smell his pipe tobacco in the air and I'm transported back to grampa's shop and I'm 10 years old all over again. You teach like him, even sound a little like him. Now I'm going to have to find me one of the blocks and try my hand at copper work. Thank you for the wonderful video.
Man I could listen to your voice for hours, nothing like this sound in the UK, love your work, proper old school and thank you for passing on some of your experience. A true gentleman.
As a 25 yr old,i feel like i would gladly become your student, if you were a local I'd be at your doorstep asking for mentorship to bless me with your accomplished knowledge and know-how. Your voice and vibes are spectacular, relaxing and peaceful, simply a man in his habitat happy as can be to share with the world. God bless you sir i hope you have a wonderful day
Beautiful spoon! I very much enjoyed watching your technique & appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Now to find one myself a vintage swage block. Thank you!! :)
Hi everyone, I have shared your comments with Jim! Thank you for taking time to leave such nice comments. I hope to do another video with Jim in the future!
JC, I see you made this video 7 years ago but it’s great! I’m just learning Blacksmithing and I’m a plumber so I have access to copper piping which I can split and lay flat. I’ve never tried making a cup, ladle or spoon but I’m looking forward to it. Thank you for your videos. I have subscribed to your channel. 👍
Wow! I look for things to pound copper on! I improvise. Where do you get one of those blocks,?? You'll have a ton of followers with these kinds of vids!
I like you sir . Your. A good hard worker who explains why and how everything works. Awesome video. I’m trying to get into this stuff as a hobby maybe make a little money too but I wanna do it quality
Great project, nice camera work, and clear narration. I really enjoyed this. Where can we buy a swage block like this? Can you set up an Amazon store so they give you a small percentage for steering them there? Cool video!
Great! Shame the video cut off some info like what spray was used to polish, and what he did with the swage block when fitting the handle (he said he remembers which swage dip he used... but then it cut off & didn't say why). Great video tho!
Rather watch this guy all day than idiots demo’ing, remodeling or flipping homes all in a half hour ,,,,,this actually takes more finesse and skill and more people can have access to this than turning a barn into a 5000 square foot mansion. He’d be a great actor/demonstrator at old Sturbridge village or colonial Williamsburg
Hola ,,muy buen video, Pregunta: donde puedo comprar esos block form Hello, very good video, Question: where can I buy these block forms. Gracias , from Chile
A skilled craftsman, without doubt. But the editing was as bad as the craftsman was good. Important parts of the ladle's fabrication were cut off. Not good, that.
Copper smithing is something that I would like to try my had at, however. Not wanting to knock the man for how he president the information. I just can’t watch this rambling dialog, not sure if he is nervous or just how he talks.
You know, I'd be willing to bet that you're quite deaf. I'm surprised you don't wear any ear protection while hammering on metal with a metal hammer. It would help if you would do the hammering on the top of an old wooden stump. That hollow box you're hammering on just amplifies the sound too much.
mark batten , what difference does it make brother! What's the difference between a axe and a hachet? You knew what it was , spoon, ladle,dipper, he is doing work that he is proud of! Words are important sometimes, and sometimes they aren't. If you know what it was then maybe you were brought up in a well to do or moderate to do household. All were spoons to us that were not as educated or economicaly benefited.
Sir, you are a refreshing breath of air. Thank you for being on this planet.

This video is beautifully filmed. The framing and lighting is stunning.
If I didn’t want to make a copper spoon before. This man has charmed me into it.
Man I could listen to your voice for hours, nothing like this sound in the UK, love your work, proper old school and thank you for passing on some of your experience. A true gentleman.

Just ran across your channel and was really impressed with your work.

The world dearly needs more talented people such as this.
This guys cool, a lot of guys that know how to do this stuff don't want to teach everyone how, they just want to sell you something.
Shane K this is the first person that actually shows how it's made.
Thank you for making this wonderful video !! Never realized what I could do with a hitch ball. ❤
Thanks for the video , I tried to make a spoon earlier and had a few problems , this will help
Are you a teacher..?
Good stuff man, anyone would be lucky to learn from you… I feel it.
Thanks.
A true tradesman and and going by this video, a great guy!

Probably pretty hard to find a swag block like that. Nice work

"I start peckin' on it" lol.
Thanks for sharing Jim
Very cool making ladles where can you get one of those blocks thank you for this video
Great video. Too bad we hardly saw the finished object. A close up view for a few secs would have been nice.
Great! Shame the video cut off some info like what spray was used to polish, and what he did with the swage block when fitting the handle (he said he remembers which swage dip he used... but then it cut off & didn't say why).
Great video tho!
Ostrich apron? WOW!
Great video, thank you! Where would one find such a block for working on? I cant see anything anywhere
Good Video, thank you.
💯💯🔥🔥🔥
So cool
Wait so how did you attach the handle to the spoon part I notice you drilled a hole but was there a copper rivet ?
Sir, I swear you have to be from Texas. You sound exactly like my daddy.
Repousse hammer is the longer reach hammer
Where do you find a swedge plate?
where did you get the block you are hammering on
What is J&C Sales? I see it at the very end of your video.
I would love to be your apprentice.
How much does the block/anvil cost and where do yo get them???
Welp, I guess I need to get a swage block (?) soon
Rather watch this guy all day than idiots demo’ing, remodeling or flipping homes all in a half hour ,,,,,this actually takes more finesse and skill and more people can have access to this than turning a barn into a 5000 square foot mansion.

Step 1: Find a very expensive swage block. -.-
A skilled craftsman, without doubt. But the editing was as bad as the craftsman was good. Important parts of the ladle's fabrication were cut off. Not good, that.
1:88 you mean a repouse hammer?
Yes I think that's it, and perhaps he didn't know how to pronounce this French word.
How do I buy items from this craftsman?
where do you find switch blocks?
swage blocks

Did you make the dye you hammer on?
Thats great, good instruction.
But why the hell does he have it all sitting on top of a hollow noisey drum??
What is the reason people only make hand form metal from copper not any other type of metal such as stainless steel?
Because copper is more maliable. You would have to forge other metals.
Copper smithing is something that I would like to try my had at, however. Not wanting to knock the man for how he president the information. I just can’t watch this rambling dialog, not sure if he is nervous or just how he talks.

that was not a spoon.

why dont you get your copper spoon and advance africa with it.
