Arched Copper Flat Seam Roof Build 

So good !!! Love Paul's lesson!!

Videos like this always make me thing of how much I miss my old man and our times working together. Thanks for posting, David.

nothing better than watching a craftsman perform his craft. Thanks for this David, and Paul! Great video. ...and David, congrats on the sponsorship! Soon they will see how it pays off to support RU-vidrs! I'll be buying some Wrangler for work!

Who doesn't enjoy watching a craftsman. Doesn't matter what they are making, it's always fascinating.

Great video, David. Always a treat watching someone that know their stuff.

That my friend was one of the best videos you have done to date. Your Dad is an amazing teacher and I can see where you get your passion from. Would love to see more of these with him. You are very fortunate to have a Dad like that. Thanks for sharing him with us. Again, great job David.

That was great! I work with my old man as often as I can, it's nice to see you two out there getting work done. It's so great that these old fellers always have something to teach us "young" bucks. Thanks

I suppose one must use his scraps somewhere, but rather I would lay a sheet of 16oz. copper on this eave and do it in one hit. Use the scraps for bird houses or step flashings. And I would say by the amount of solder you used that one could have done this in a few moments with sheet lead at the same or less cost, labor and materials considered. At the moment I am teaching my 13 year old about roof to wall flashing for his bedroom that I "made" him build. We are using lead sheet for that, so wonderful in its malleability. Nice to see dad and son working together here too. I hope he remembers our days and learns from it.

Beautiful Father-Son situation. Thanks for sharing David!

Your pops looks like a tough nut, makes me miss my own. Really enjoyed this video

It's been years since I have been able to do a project with my dad, and I didn't appreciate it then as much as I would now. Very cool to live vicariously through you. Thank you!

You and Jimmy do the best videos. I had a dad like yours and Jimmy that knew how to do all these nearly lost skills. I have an old soldering iron that was my grand dad's. watching these videos take me back to being a kid and helping my dad. I loved learning this stuff, and more importantly, learning to not be afraid to try. Thanks again for the videos!

It was like a more in depth, practical lesson on This Old House. Paul comes across as a great teacher. Good job guys!

Your dad seems like such a cool guy! You should do some videos of him telling cool stories from the past.

Lmao, I install copper for a living, this is hilarious 😮

Good Old School stuff !!! Awesome to watch a any Master Craftsman doing what he does best. Thanks David and Paul.

What a blessing to be raised with such a Craftsman. Thank you for allowing us a peek into the world you share with your Pops. Makes me think of my Old Man. Sweet.

It's great watching you and your father working together. As jimmydiresta is saying this is a wonderful lesson of craftsmanship for all of us. Thanks! And congrats for your new sponsor!

This video prevents an art from being lost! Thank you!

Super awesome David. Thank you, your father, and bros for sharing. Learned a lot!

I especially enjoyed watching Father passing on knowledge to his Son. If we all payed attention to our parents and respected our elders, we could bring civility back to the U.S.. Your dad is a true craftsman and you now may take the knowledge and show Giacco and John thus a 3x knowledge expansion and maintain training a great and valuable craft. Well done sir.,

Oh man, copper is the best to work with! Almost makes roofing not suck, top notch video, you dad is one hell of a craftsman.

Very nice, im very happy to have see how copper roof are made!

Dude! Your dad has some mad skils. Thanks so much!

Verte trabajar con tu padre me emociona muchísimo, disfrutarlo porque no tiene precio! un abrazo desde Argentina

David Please thank your Dad , I have watched it 3 times and have definitely learned a new craft .... When I went to the Wrangler web page I thought that was your Dad pulling the chain.... Thanks again David... One more thing I have put the rope away ... Haha............

haha. So cool to see you work with your dad! beautiful project! watched this just in time before my wife took me shopping for pants. bought my first 2 pairs of Wranglers and love em!

What a great video! Thank you both for sharing this! I've been wanting to do a copper entry roof, and now I know how. I learned a ton watching this and enjoyed watching you and your dad work together.

Beautiful work! Love the videos with your dad. Also just realized this process may be where the expression "do you catch my drift" came from. Thanks for sharing.

So interesting! Nice work with your father. He knows his job and i like how he enjoys his coffee.

Have always liked the look of copper. Real craftsmanship. Well done.

great video as usual, nice to see you working with your father. My son is young, but always enjoy teaching him something new. Im sure your father feels the same way. Derek

So beautiful and the father/son dynamic reminded me of my dad showing me how to do things as well.

Great work! Thanks for sharing and tell your dad he is a cool guy!

Awesome to see you working with your pop! Roof looks great

It was really cool to see you two work together. Classic craft, well done. Congratulations, brother

Very very nice! This is something different from what we usually see on makers channels...love it!

Ah, it takes me back to my roofing days. But i dealt more with double lock standing seam copper and Zinc panels. I actually miss it. Course we did large panels and had a machine with rollers to profile the panels. Used CNC sheet metal break to make the various bits of flashing. But i can remember make some panels like that. Rarely did i get out of the shop and help install the panels. We always called the pliers platypus or Duckbill pliers. But i guess that's a southern term. Just watching the end i get the smell of the resin and solder filling my nose.

My Dad is a farmer, this really makes me want to go spend the day with him and absorb knowledge from an expert. Your dad makes it look easy! Cool vid.

really enjoyed that. thanks for filming and sharing! thanks to your father also.

This is awesome! great video!

Great video David, you're Dad is one kick ass guy.

David thanks for the video showing how this is done brother,i'm glad you're back and making videos,all the best to you and your family,your dad is one hell of a teacher and a true craftsman please thank him for the lesson

beautiful video David... working with your dad just gives an emotional feel to it. I really enjoyed it..

loved the process also super excited to what projects you and your dad decide to do in the future

Learn something new everyday. Thanks David!

Great video! I felt like I was watching an episode of This Old House. Your Dad seems like a good teacher.

I have never seen a metal roof work where so much solder is used, this is the 2nd time I see this done on RU-vid in the US. Interesting. That´s very interesting, this seems to be US specific, I have never seen that before. Learned something new today =)

This Was A Great Video David, Your Dad's Awesome I See Where Your Skills Come From

I live in Ottawa in Canada and our Parliament Buildings (and many other buildings) all have copper roofs and I always wondered how that was done. Badass to finally see, thanks!!

Outstanding! I have always wanted to see how that was done! What a treat!

Sweet......I have never seen this done before. Great craftsmanship!!!!! I enjoyed thoroughly.

Yes dude! That was great to watch and awesome end result. Keep it up!

the Riggs are awesome. been running them for a year, held up great, pockets haven't torn out and the leather on the pocket is great for my tape. Doesn't drag my pants down or flop around. and I usually kill pants in about 2 months. nyc plumbing.
