Excellent. i really enjoy your tutorials. I was hoping to find one for an ice cream scoop, but see that you don't have one, guess I can figure it out, but totally unsure about the handle.
Ice cream scoop handles are tricky because you need the handle to be SO strongly attached to the scoop without the copper tearing or bending with pressure of moving frozen goodies. That location (where the handle is riveted) will always be your weak point. Ideally there'd be a way to build the scoop from a single piece of copper. Hmmm.. worth experimenting!
Thanks for replying. That was my concern. I was thinking that either a 1/4" copper bar rivetted to the scoop or a tube with end profiled to match the scoop soldered to the scoop.
apropos solder, my query is , won't a tin/(lead or antimony) solder with copper lead to bimetallic couple and consequently galvanic corrosion. please enlighten. 👷👍🙏
I've done quite a bit of soldering copper with lead/tin based solder and over the long-term I have not seen any corrosion or problems it seems to be a magical combination that works well . Just my 2 [ copper ] cents
I believe galvanic corrosion only occurs if the copper is directly connected to steel or iron. As tin doesn't contain iron, there isn't an issue. But I am not a metallurgist. :P

Excellent video. what kind of set rivet would I use for tinplate.
Same as for copper. :) Copper rivets or stainless.
