JOAT Jill of All Trades: Installing the Copper Shingles

[@Blazer1993]

I made those shingles for a coupola ..240 shingles hand made took an enormous amount of time to cut and bend by hand. Came out great if you have the time

[@Tools_Tips_How-to]

I've always wanted to try this myself. I fabricated many flat seamed roofs and this idea would be great for a pitched roof. I would have flattered the seams, but I do like the look.. it feels natural/organic.

First time I've seen a woman working on a roof. Looks good

I cant believe you didn't give a full picture of the structure to see how it looks further away .

[@jerrywhidby.]

Normally roofers kneel on the shingle while they nail down the next shingle. I imagine that would bend these shingles. So how does the roofer install these?

Where do you buy the scraps from and the website please

[@aagarwa7]

We have tried to fix the shingles. But we are facing a problem - the last piece of the shingle that is there on the edge.. that piece have a one bent side which is visible. How to take care of it? Thanks in advance.

[@davidb9150]

Run a strip 1/2" to 3/4" past eadge and hook the bent under shingle shingle on it. Just like on the bottom.

[@Genesis-fy3cp]

are you going to solder all of those joints?

[@davidb9150]

No
