- Getting closer to the end and reach the halfway point in the cladding in this episode. Even though I said this last week too, more hot sunny days in the shed with the fan on reminds me yet again what a treat it is to work from home on this one. Thanks as always for watching and we'll see you next week for the wrap up.

It’s a real pleasure watching you work that copper, Jake.
Thanks for the video. 👍
I have never seen the standing seam crimped by hand. Most of it comes with a fancy roller that follows the seam to do the crimp. I am very impressed with the way you did it and most certainly this must be the traditional way of doing it before more automatic crimpers were developed. Beautiful work.
Thanks Dan, It was how they did it first with zinc and lead and then copper. It can easily be ordered with the seams started on it or i can form that slowly in my break for a small run but for the curve it has to be missing since you can't shrink the pan into shape with the breaks on the edges. I have a shrinker that does a much neater job but it's hard to manipulate that much material thru it and extremely time consuming. I did use a hand closer to straighten the crimped seams and make them uniform. It's the same tool that I use on steel roofs. One side closes the first stage (which is enough for steep roofs and siding) and then you turn it around to fully close the second stage witch is prefered for shallower roofs.
I love the look of a copper roof and now I can enjoy a master building one as well.
I bet people can see that roof for miles n miles. Helicopter pilots will use it as a landmark..its really unique and its gonna be lovely.
I remember that it was the construction of a very large house, well before the bridge, there I liked the way you worked, I think I got to know your channel for about 5 months.
I'm from Brazil, many people want to see beautiful videos, I like yours because there are machines, you make tools, it's a job that requires intelligence, that's cool, thanks for the videos.
Thanks friend, I get the footage I can but still need to focus primarily on the work. I'm glad you are enjoying the channel, do you mind sharing which was the first video that brought you here? I'm always curious about that. Thanks.
I'm so amazed with your skills
Superb craftsmanship 👍👍
Reminds me of the SkyWay Bar & Grill up in Rhododendron. This is some PNW Legend stuff right here man
Not sure why either, haha. I just looked up some photos and there’s definitely no curved copper roofs. It’s just got that vibe
@@PerkBuilders Thanks man! I'd never heard of it but I looked it up too and I love those kind of places that have that much stuff going on. I know they develop over time but they usually start with a strong lean in that direction. You probably see something new every time you go there:-)
Beautiful job Jake! So much time, I hope your customer watches this series!
@@robertsimmons3556 thanks Robert!. I think he does. I’ve got a meeting with him this week on some other stuff so I’ll let him know for sure that it’s up and running.
You are a carpenter, fabricator and artisan. You are a dying breed. You need an apprentice to learn everything you do. Oh and forgot a framer
@@alangalloway6361 I’m not there yet! I may take on an apprentice before it’s all over :-)
One inch at a time!
It was a lot of seam closing!
It's very dangerous to be on a roof with that steep pf a pitch without a safety harness that's securely tied off. 😉 Kidding aside, looking awesome Jake.
Lol, yeah that was white knuckle stuff right there man. I edited the worst of it out because you know.... osha and all:-)
Good morning Mr Rosenfeld, just asking about the copper, hope it's not to trivial. Will the copper hold its initial brilliance in our NW weather. Don't misunderstand, I like the greenish hue it takes on, too.
@@chenhali3234 great to see you on here! How’s that new kitty doing?
The short answer to the copper question is yes it will stay bright for longer than you might think because there’s a coating on it that gives it a little longevity. The weather side will start to do first though, and the other side will take quite a bit longer. For this project I Scotchbrited everything completely and then sprayed my aging liquid on there so it would green up evenly. The green goes away pretty quickly, but it stays dark and aged from then on until it turns green again on its own a few decades from now
It has a timeless quality to it. I have two questions: Did you estimate the amount of copper you used, and secondly why do these videos zoom by so quickly :)
@@paulhammond7489 I did estimated at one point and I haven’t wrote down somewhere but it’s been a year now so I don’t have the numbers in my head anymore. They do fly by, but if I put all the footage in that I have of me talking to myself, nobody would watch it :-)
What a tedious process, but it sure looks good.
@@Z-Bart it was tedious! Enjoyable but not a fast process:-)
@@ShredPile I would have bled out. I can look at sheet metal and start bleeding. Lol.
@@Z-Bart I know exactly what you mean, if you watch close, you’ll see me snip all the sharp points off and throw them away to keep gaffing myself down to a minimum:-) sheet metal cuts have a way of making your toes curl every time you think about them….
Do you have problems switching between modes, sheetmetal master to framer deluxe, I think I would mix them up a little.
Looking good. Two questions mate, how have you sealed the peak of the trough ? and wtf, you are using left hand snips as your go to straight shears aren't you, my eyes just about popped out of my head hahahaha, that is really unusual.
@@MUDNROCKS Soldered them and caulked for good measure. Lots of slow stretching there to get it to wrap. It’s better to offset them but it was a non negotiable element with the client. They had to match up.
lol on the shears. Those are left facing straights. Pelican shears from stortz, I think they’re made by stubai but I could be wrong. Love those things:-)
@@ShredPile The Offcut should drop down off the right side, yrs are cutting back to front lol, how the hell did you ever get used to cutting cack handed. Mine are ordinary RH Gilbow snips, actually the 3rd pair cos I've worn two pair out. I was trained to use them for much more than just cutting, like flanging up for downpipes and gas vents, opening and turning around the edge of copper stack holes for branches and more, I was really fortunate to have an extremely talented boss for those first 4 trades, he was second generation on the tools and a great old school teacher.
You know I stopped soldering copper flashings and stuff with 60/40 it's too soft, better with a higher tin content solder, but best is silver solder, silfos or easyflow it never fails but you'd need to remove the heat marking. Cheers big ears I look forward to the next instalment on the epic green roof.
@@MUDNROCKS just sat down to lunch, I’ve been chuckling to myself about ‘cack handed’ all morning:) those snips don’t work for everything, but they have their place and they cut really nice. I need to track down a pair that points the other way. I would definitely like to know more about the older hand skills, I have an old old friend that I’ve been doing projects with for 30 years now he’s a sheet metal man and just does stuff different with the tools. It’s an amazing trade and so much of it can be applied to so many things.
@@ShredPile So true, my wife was struggling with a dress pattern one day, bugger me the theory is identical , she was staggered I could whip up a corrected pattern for her .... who knew.
I hope you have a good place to put that rull of copper. Like 1/0 wire the meth heads can smell it from 10 miles away
Locked in a box locked in a box, I've done what I can. It's like sugar or grease for ants though. I do a ton of work in a scrapyard and I deal with a lot of break-in repairs. It's amazing how they will walk right by a barrel full of $10 a pound carbide so they can go work thier ass off stealing $2 a pound dirty copper. Lizard brains.
@@ShredPile I've seen them spend all night and half the day to steal $50 in scrap when they could have went to work with us for8hrs and got $100 cash. Not to mention costing whomever they clipped tens of thousands of dollars in damages.
Had one tell me one time that I have so much and they have so little. And I remind myself of that very often 😡😡😡
