Forging a Bronze Cauldron - Hobbit Hole

In this video, I forge a cauldron from silicon bronze.
Starting with an 8-inch disc, 1/4" thick, I heat the bronze in my coal forge until the metal glows orange. The disc is then dished using a rounding hammer over a hollow form.
After several hours of this, the shape is deep enough and thin enough to allow cold shaping into a shot bag and over various stakes.

Your ability to move metal in this dramatic fashions is inspiring. Great tips on the melting point and annealing process. Thanks for sharing.
Craftsmanship at its best
You can NEVER go wrong with skulls!!!
What I understand is that copper(and bronze) can be worked cold to a point, heat removing the stress(hardness) of the metal to be worked over again.
Rad job, surprised the starting dimension stretched out so far. Super cool.
Instead of skulls I could see an inscription like "One cauldron to rule them all, One cauldron to find them; One cauldron to bring them all and in the stew bind them." fitting the theme really well. :D
Pissed off about the adorable cauldron! That same cauldron may have held acid, or some other liquid used to coerce information from some lying political scoundrel. It may even have cooked the knight's dinner over an open firepit after a day of travel. Surely it is a bit of necessary kit for anyone journeying a far. I will enjoy it anyway you decide the finish. Thank you for sharing.
Wicked good. Thank you for the video.
The cauldron experiment is definitely a success. Can't wait until you do the one piece helm. I agree, sinister is good.
Excellent Study!
Fuckin hell I loved that intro, also just thought of something to make, a cauldron/ beaker in the shape of a human head with the top cut off.
That is super cool! I have experimented with a cauldron from an old gas cylinder, is currently one of those “get back to it one day” projects but after watching this I have new ideas to try! Many thanks, thats awesome!😁
Very interesting video!!!
Love it now I just have to find a way to get you to make one for cheap LOL
Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Not sure about bronze but copper utensiles needs to be tinned to avoid copper toxicity.
That was..... Mesmerizing!
So much effort you put in. Probably a few gallons of sweat equity as well.
Should go well in your Hobbit hole!
Blessings abundant 🙏⚒️🔥🧙🏼♂️
Fabulous work as usual. Really excited to see you move toward one piece helmets.
looks great so far, as you mentioned skulls it gave me a thought, make the whole cauldron in the shape of a skull, "anyone for some brain stew"
great vid Thak
What a great way to start the weekend, with a new Thak video! Thanks as allways for the content :)
That looks great on its own ! No sculls needed . I prefer the historical look could see a couple hoplites battling for possession of it!
Magical
Amazing work mate . 🤠
piece of slag stuck from the forge cause the pinch perhaps
The start of another great piece, Thak. Quick request - on the next instalment, could you show the repair, please? I’ve had trouble blowing through non-ferrous metals when welding and would like to see how it *should* be done.
Sharing this under-subscribed channel!
Best, Neal
Edit: correcting autocorrect.
Oh the repair has long since been taken care of. Will keep this in mind for the future.
@@ThakIronworks Wouldn't streching from the sides close the gap and then later soldering it finalize it?
Your work is amazing! I love this channel!
adorable! ;)
I reckon the electric eye made that peephole so it can continue watching us 😂👍
Hole and all, great job
Are they a cult? Why they called ministry? Lol jk
Great work, and thanks for the demonstration.🍻
Make me a Cymbal!!
Cool video. Can you practically use it? Is there like certain restrictions what temperature should be used when prepare a stew?
MINISTRY SHIRT
Maybe that hole is due to an impurity or void.
Maybe you can fix the hole by TIG welding.
That is exactly what I did
Thanks for the tip with the copper based metals! Only copper based are annealed like this or all non ferrous metals? Thx!
Nice work sir! Silly question….. Where do you get your bronze from?
Atlas metals in colorado
@@ThakIronworks thank you sir!
That or if you have the time/resources and want another fun project, make some lol. Copper and tin. Around 70%Copper and 30% tin.
@@BurntMushroomBlacksmithing yes sir….. that is what I was thinking too! I have made aluminum bronze many times. I just have not found ( or seriously looked for ) tin as of yet.
So um how do you weld that? I've always wondered.
I´m not saying I was a slight little bit irritated for one tiny second when you opened greeting in my home language. xDD
Are you saying that I need to improve my German?
@@ThakIronworks nah, not at all, it sounded almost perfect. xD
Only I was all like, 'what the duck is going on?' for a second. xD
@@ThakIronworks ...well, at least for what I can say about two words. ^^
Did you smell cherries?
