Looks amazing

[@averagealice8877]

That's really a work of art! The nailhead trim is something I hadn't considered. Just a comment; our existing wood-painted range hood is a pain to keep clean, all the grease/dirt sticks to the wood finish (of course these days it's painted with latex paint), which is why I might cover it in metal somehow. I'm wondering how long it took you to pound in all those little divits in the copper sheet! That's craftsmanship.

[@frankponzani1304]

That is impressive, especially for a first attempt. I'm planning to make something similar, but for over a (gas) fireplace. What sources did you use to learn the techniques and to buy the tools?

[@HandCraftChannel]

just seen some videos on youtube how other people doing things like that, I knew what I want to build and how it should look like, so just bought copper,plywood and started to my experiments :)

[@MichSuz5]

Thank you for this! I started looking at copper range hoods and they were in the $3k-$8k range. My husband said 'no way' until we saw this. We have a 36" range top - he's a little worried about the extra width on the base and how that's going to work with cabinets, but we'll figure it out!

[@HandCraftChannel]

you welcome! if you did not see, there is also part one video - th-cam.com/video/qtLDBnUuirc/w-d-xo.html where you can see how I built the frame for hood

[@loverslanenyc]

Great video. Where can I buy that copper sheet?

[@Knappconstruction]

Did you use anything to act as an adhesive for the copper sheets to connect to the plywood? And what did you use for nails on edging?
It looks great

[@HandCraftChannel]

no, no adhesive between coper and wood. nails - was some kind of metal rivets from local store

[@jonmc3]

Really enjoyed this. What was the thickness on the copper. Where do you buy the copper and rivets. That was a lot of hammering.

[@HandCraftChannel]

copper was about 1mm thick, got it from my friend. rivets - it's furniture nails from local hardware shop

[@billymacktexasdetective5827]

​@HandCraftChannel You were asked 3 times what gauge copper sheet you used and you gave 3 different answers.
Nice!

[@studfinderball]

Inspiring effort

[@HandCraftChannel]

thank u! that was a hard job :)

[@melissawoodruff2768]

Do you need to paint the wood to protect it from steam?

[@kindredcottagelife]

AMAZING!!!

[@HandCraftChannel]

thank u!

[@kellyrufo]

I love it what are the measures?

[@oxwilder]

Man...that's pretty impressive. What gauge is that copper?

[@HandCraftChannel]

thanks! that's coper, and it's pretty thick - about 0.8mm, I would recommend to use thinner, as it was very hard to hammer it

[@tlanc1283]

Gorgeous! What product were you using while sanding? Was it to fill nail holes?

[@tarassych]

it's just wood glue and wood dust ;) to fit holes

[@rafacasadeoracioncolorado7196]

Woa God bless you
