Man, that was just great! Awesome way to start my day...I love working with copper. Really cool tools that I never new existed...thanks for filming this!
Amazing craftsmanship David. Reading comments it seems like nobody reads the descriptions though. Whatever keep on making awesome stuff. I enjoy the videos immensely.
Very cool! I really miss working with metal. We had all those tools in metal shop when I was in high school. I recently started making copper bracelets from heavy wire I found, now I got the bug again
Nice build, cool shop, good skills. I would be freaking out if you were hammering on my Shear but I guess that cool in your shop. Subbed Take care Dave
Very cool once again. Jimmy was right to tell you to post more on your channel. Also, even though you meet a lot of people at the shop, it was nice meeting you the past July 21st when my family stopped by to see Jimmy and he introduced us to you while you were working on maybe register covers made of wood? Either way. Good meeting you and I really enjoy your projects too. You are very talented.
Just discovered your channel, TH-cam recommended it prob because I watch so much jimmy diresta. Love what you did with those mugs. Subscribed keep the videos coming mate
The first time I saw this video I hated the crushed mug. I re-discovered your channel today and realized I had seen this video, but now I love that one!! Sorry for the "cool story bro" moment but I just wanted to say that even though I mentally trolled you a year ago, I am now wiser and handsomer. Beautiful work!
Nice work. I do this stuff also. I have a Pexto double seamer and a circle shear. The bottom piece of copper has to be cut almost exact are it won't work, along with turning a burr on the can portion, tight tolerances only. Thanks for posting.
Making that crushed mug was nice idea but what bothered me it got bit unpractical as the bottom part got so flat. It might trap some gunk there. So I was thinking a solution if someone wish to redo similar mug. One could try puting a bycycles inner tire at the bottom and pump it almost full or cast 1/2" layers of plaster mixed with grainy saw dust. That way crushing can be conrolled. And the layers of plaster don't need to be cured flat. Tilting the mug while the mixture cures might cause nice effect. Innter tire and the plaster can be removed easily from the final product. Thanks for the videos and keep up the good work.
Great video. Most copper pots and pans are lined with tin to stop oxidation when it comes in contact with acidic foods and to prevent copper poisoning. Maybe you could try that? I think all you do is melt the tin in the pot or mug in this case, coat the inside, then pour out the excess.
Great video Dave. Watch the patina tough...the Paris Green(that s how we call it) is very poisonous. It s toxic and contained in a lot of ancient poisons. Beautiful workmanship...keep up the good work!
Very nice work David, all three looked very convincing, heck you could even tell tales that they belonged to some far reaching relative who was in the civil war not desert storm, looks good is it recommended for drinking from and take it is lead free solder? I’d personally prefer to have the inside plated with something nontoxic (just in case). But lovely job indeed....Phil
Fairly informative video. One suggestion would be better camera angles. For example, when using the bead roller, we the audience didnt see the rollers or the workpiece being formed.... the camera showed the bottom of the mug from the other side.
Like the peen hammered one best. Loved the one you hit with the dowel, until you crushed it. And I liked them all better before the forced patina. Something that well made should grow its own patina with use. This is, of course just my opinion. beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
yes. in fact your body needs copper. but as everything you can have a overdose. but (again) you dont need to worry about that, wont happen just from some mugs and stuff. (last) but try not to use copper stuff for acidic foods because it could/would form copper acetate and thats moderate toxic.
I'm watching this even now and it still a stunning piece of work. Love it Dave
Hell of a lot of machinery for something traditionally hand made
Man, that was just great! Awesome way to start my day...I love working with copper. Really cool tools that I never new existed...thanks for filming this!
Thanks man!
That was a really interesting build to watch! The workshop looks likes full of lots of fun machines too!
Superb video David, Thank you for that.
I never knew ammonia would do that to copper. I loved the results.
Great.
Amazing craftsmanship David. Reading comments it seems like nobody reads the descriptions though. Whatever keep on making awesome stuff. I enjoy the videos immensely.
So awesome, and great video !!!
Very cool! I really miss working with metal. We had all those tools in metal shop when I was in high school. I recently started making copper bracelets from heavy wire I found, now I got the bug again
Nice work! Love the final result!
LOVE the ammonia trick! cool mugs
Nice mugs. Good skills! Looking for more from you.
the amount of armour i could make in this shop...unreal amounts of armour...
Love the quick patina.
Nice work. I enjoyed metal shop in high school, wish i had done more of it.
Beautiful work - I think I like the banged up one the best of the three...
sounded like a dubstep buildup at 0:32 lmao. half expected a bass drop
Awesome mugs!
I wish I had your tools and your skills. Cool video!
Excelent work. Looks easy with the right tools.
nice to see a true craftsman at work.
Anthony bot thanks for watching
That was cool. Thanks for the video. Gave you a thumbs up.
Digging that copper work. Keep these videos coming. Doing a great job brother.
Thanks bro!! Appreciate the support.
Nice build, cool shop, good skills. I would be freaking out if you were hammering on my Shear but I guess that cool in your shop.
Subbed
Take care
Dave
Love it! Keep up the awesome vids!
Nice work man! My fav is the crumpled up one... Looks like Tom Waits would have his morning joe out of that.
Ha- that one holds water believe it or not. Thank you!!
Nice! Thanks for sharing!!
Hell Yeah! These came out great!
Thanks brother
Hey David! Was really nice meeting you... Looking forward to see the one you were making the other day... ;)
Peace brother, thank you
Cool project. I was confused why you were crushing the mug and then realized you made more than one. Neat idea for all three.
Thank you kindly!
I was waiting for you to stop crushing that cup, or at least straighten it back out. Poor thing got nearly turned into scrap. :(
Amazing!!
love your stuff
Thanks Luke
awesome mugs
That's a nice mug I made one out of 32 oz and tig welded it. I think I'll make a hammered one now..thanks for the video
WOW, amazing!
Outstanding .thanks for taking the time to make the film
Thanks for being here
Simply, piece of art. Waiting for next video.
Awesome- carving up some foam right now!
Very cool once again. Jimmy was right to tell you to post more on your channel.

Thank you very much david!
Nothing beats a hot cup of Ammonia on a cold winter day.
Awesome build David! Heard about your channel on the Making It podcast!
Joe
Just discovered your channel, TH-cam recommended it prob because I watch so much jimmy diresta. Love what you did with those mugs. Subscribed keep the videos coming mate
wooow! first time i went into your channel. amazing
Thank you mate!!!
Very neat. Your last video gave me an idea for a spoon project. Is the crushed cup still water tight?
Amazing!
The first time I saw this video I hated the crushed mug. I re-discovered your channel today and realized I had seen this video, but now I love that one!! Sorry for the "cool story bro" moment but I just wanted to say that even though I mentally trolled you a year ago, I am now wiser and handsomer.
Beautiful work!
Hahaha!! That's great, and thank you for sharing ! ----and watching again!
Piękna robota. Zazdroszcze warsztatu...
Great mugs! The crushed one was a bit overcrushed for practical use but that's my opinion. Yet another great vid!
Artistry. Thanks for the great videos man. You rock.
Awesome!
Great job! You are an artist. What did you use to make the tight bead at the bottom of the first mug? Or should I say which rolls did you use?
Completely bad ass.EPIC!!!!!
Wow thank you! Stay tuned
Awesome David!
Thank you.
Must be nice to have all those specialized tools. Some of us do all of this by hand...
holy crap!! WOW!!!
Excelente trabalho. Parabéns.
Nice video and job ;-)
Hey man! Nice work!

Thank you David Great Video and project... =O)
Thank you!
increíble job david
Great skills, the crunched cup looks like something a pirate might have used. Thank you
Fine work with copper
Any reason behind the smashed one or just variety? Love the work!
You should be a prop maker in Hollywood. They need skills like you have.
Thank you Marc- I have done a bunch of prop and set gigs on feature and fashion shoots- money is good - that about it
Thank You!

it was such a nice cup

Nice work
you should really take a wet rag and wipe that excess solder while it's still hot. looks way better. awesome job btw. great little project
Great work. Do you know what number bead roll you used for the bottom of the cup?
Bloody nice work mate! Got your self a new sub from me hah :)
From Brazil, "abraços".
Great video Dave. Watch the patina tough...the Paris Green(that s how we call it) is very poisonous. It s toxic and contained in a lot of ancient poisons. Beautiful workmanship...keep up the good work!
this is what l needed to know

Hi David. can I ask you a question: what product do you use to give the appearance of old
to metal?
Very nice mug
Can you provide the manufacturer details or the cleaning process of the copper mug
Please
Very nice work David, all three looked very convincing, heck you could even tell tales that they belonged to some far reaching relative who was in the civil war not desert storm, looks good is it recommended for drinking from and take it is lead free solder? I’d personally prefer to have the inside plated with something nontoxic (just in case). But lovely job indeed....Phil
Looks like you're ready for some moscow mules! Nice work! What gauge copper did you use?
Nice mugs man
+Mrhollerr thank you!
Any chance you would part with the mug on the right in the final shot??
Damned fine video, subbed.
Legends go that so primitive people did cans.
I can tell there is going to be amazing shit on this channel! Nice work. Film quality and builds are totally pro.
Right on, thank you very much ! I'm having a lot of fun trying to build this channel.
Now I want a Moscow Mule.
What was the tool used to planish the inside bottom of the cup? Any picture of that?
Fairly informative video. One suggestion would be better camera angles. For example, when using the bead roller, we the audience didnt see the rollers or the workpiece being formed.... the camera showed the bottom of the mug from the other side.
Hi that's awsome
what is the machine that puts the little bevel in the first cup for the base?
Hi David, what you use for welding ?
Now I understand why copper mugs cost so much
I feel like the crushed mug is a pain in the ass to clean, but I love the design!
Awesome. Why belt up the copper sheet before forming it? To help make it look old or to aid in the shaping of it? Thanks !
+Waynos Waynos While it does change the appearance, all the hammer blows work harden the copper, making it stiff.
NICE!!!!!!!!
Nice very nice,
Bottoms up: cheers
Well thank you david.
You're like diresta #2, except you put out 100x the videos xD
Like the peen hammered one best. Loved the one you hit with the dowel, until you crushed it. And I liked them all better before the forced patina. Something that well made should grow its own patina with use.
This is, of course just my opinion. beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Thanks to show us all this tin tools. Just a small question: is copper food safe?
yes. in fact your body needs copper. but as everything you can have a overdose. but (again) you dont need to worry about that, wont happen just from some mugs and stuff. (last) but try not to use copper stuff for acidic foods because it could/would form copper acetate and thats moderate toxic.
Tenfdy okay, no coke in this cans :-)
Very Nice and interessant
Sorry I didn't understand the crushing of the glass . What was that ?
What are you using to cut edges at 1:18 ?
