Forming Copper - 2nd Edition: A Beginner's Guide

Since 1973 I've made my living designing, crafting and selling metal sculpture. I've taken what I have learned and produce instructional videos. One of the most popular of the DVDs is "Forming Copper". When it became possible to turn this into an eBook, I wrote the 1st edition in 2011, using some of the information in the DVD along with over 40 photos. Since 2007 I have been uploading short videos to YouTube. The total now stands at over 125 videos and growing. This 2nd edition includes over 80 photos. You will also find links to over 30 YouTube videos that relate to the text. This is still a beginner's guide. I am not a coppersmith. Whatâ€™s described and shown are the techniques I use to form copper. Included are simple copper forming tools that the average person can easily make at little or no cost. The book starts our talking about copper and where I buy copper. If you already know where to buy copper, then this part is rather boring and you will want to skip ahead. This book is easy to navigate. At the end of each subject the there a "Back to Contents" link to take you up to back to the Table of Contents. The final line in the book is the most important: "Get your hands on some copper and begin working with it". Table of Contents What is Copper?, Price of Copper, Where I Buy Copper, Metal Warehouses, Metal Recyclers, Roofing Shops, Buying on the Internet, Copper Tubing, Soft Copper in Coils, Rigid Copper Tubing, Cutting Sheet Copper, Annealing Copper, Tools for Forming Copper, Copper Concrete Forms The Stump, Forming Mallets, Copper Bowl, Planishing A Simple Forming Tool, Copper Earrings, Christmas Tree Ornaments Making Louvers, Removing Scratches, Buffing Scotch Brite TM Finish, Patinas, Acid for Cleaning Copper Flame Coloring Copper, Small Ball Pein Hammers, Sheet Metal Brake
