I'm excited i found your channel, something new and interesting to view. To make large diameter circes i made some Trammell points on the Bridgeport mill that can be attached along a slender beam(aluminum barstock) and secured with set screws. The points i fashioned by sharpening welding tungsten electrodes and then sawing to short lengths, which i sanded a flat at the other end and inserted into the end of the trammel point and secured with another set screw. This way i can make large circles depending on length of the beam. I used them extensively working as a fabricator in a small welding shop. I look forward to seeing more of your content because now I'm really curious about your craft.
That's a great idea to use the trammel point. I use trammels sometimes when building new patterns and finding the frustrum of cones for new builds. Thanks so much for the tip here so others can read about your method, too!
I Purchased a vintage professional pot on eBay …upon arrival weighing in 13..6 Lbs. I couldn’t lift this enormous long handled-iron, cooking vassal out of the box….I laughed and stored it in my garage… never to be seen again …😳today I tune in and I see a new version of my old pot stored away-too heavy-too large… 10 gallons…? Love your videos … love copper
That is a HUGE pot! Congrats on the find, even if you don't use it! The difference is this huge piece was made out of a thinner gauge and won't be cooked in. :)
thank you
Welcome ji
You're welcome

Thanks for sharing. What's the copper thickness you're using?
Thanks again.
This particular piece was done in 14oz copper.
@@housecopper Thank you!

Beautiful I think you’re somewhere up by Hayward Wisconsin when I come up to Hayward I’m going to try to look you up hi😊
Mmm...sadly, no, I'm nowhere near Hayward (I have friends who grew up there), but YAY Wisconsin!!
