How to make a copper box 

The way you made that little break out of wood was ingenious. Loved that simplicity and effectiveness

Beautiful workmanship Rick! Thank you for sharing. And no soldering needed.

Thank you . I remember back in the mid to late 60’s watching my grandfather do metal work , woodwork , upholstery , and do it all by hand with minimal hand tools . You brought back some great memories . Thanks dude , I needed that . .

Simple tools. Mesmerizing skills and craftsmanship.

Nicely done. It shows what fine work is possible with just a few good tools.

this is awesome. i bought a sheet of copper and brass today and will attempt to use your technique to make my own brownie cake pan. thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! your work is beautiful.

Beautiful work! Love that old vise.

This was lovely to watch. I want to make small boxes, and this was the first video. Thank you for posting. ❤

Beautiful work sir ! Ironically I was searching how to achieve a nice crisp square corner in copper, as I'm building a garage door that's going on a very expensive super modern home. I keep coming back full circle to all the small crafts people, still practising their trade that's thousands of years old, most people thought black smiths became obsolete, heck no it's a higher art form, super high in demand, architects are artists too they go nuts for well designed, precision fit, all hand crafted. What the architects look for is flush, so a lightswitch cover for example has to be flush with the wall, other than that, use your imagination. Modern architecture is minimalist, that means flat planes with crisp square corners and straight lines. If you the craftsman can come up ideas for products that work within those parameters, you could build yourself quite the nice online business. Thank you very much for this tip, greatest time ever to start up a home business, highly recommend it!

You showed me things and that makes this publication invaluable. Thank you!

Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing.

So beautiful. Well done sir.

Well done with nice clean bends. And since you asked, yes I do think some small brass rivets would add structural integrity and a bit more curb appeal to this lovely little eye catcher. Maybe some brass feet in the form of some suitably sized brass beads. Those were just some thoughts. I hope you don’t find me too forward.

Amazing work, thank you for showing us!!

A very beautiful, relaxing video with a very well chosen soundtrack. Seeing you make that beautiful little box was a real pleasure. Subscribed.

That is way cool! I am off to my shop!

great video, Rick. I really liked the process and result

You just solved my Christmas gift problem!

May i comission you to make 3 larger brass boxes to hold each of my 3 horses ashes.

Beautiful! I wish you would have given dimensions for measuring this project out. Very interesting using your custom hand made brake. I love that idea. Thank you for making this video for all of us.

I like your bending tools .

Love it!

Looks good. thanks

Subscribed. Love your work from Pakistan.

very cool work sir i like it a lot

Beautiful work! I am going to build an emblem for a cupola that I made. It's going to be a challenge.

Just thought of a product idea .... how about a copper recessed toilet paper holder , has to be inset into the wall, crisp square corner & straight lines , it also has to transition seamlessly into the drywall. Not a large item, you could ship that easily ! If you had a line of different bathroom products, I bet you would be very busy filling orders. It's no big investment, make one see if people like it, then make more based on the action you get.

I couldn’t see what he stamped on top, or wrote on the bottom. Beautiful job!!!!

Ficou bom, ficaria melhor caso você tivesse colocado as dobras da caixa para dentro, a tampa ficou sem encaixe ?? Você soldou as quinas da tampa ??

Beautiful work! What gauge are you using?

Great video. Do you know the model of Weiss shears you have?

What is the name of the tool used to determine the center? A beautiful gauge.

Thank you for your posting. I have a question please, what is the name of the tool you used to score the mark in the copper?

what is the measuring tool used from 4:20-4:55? great work...and a couple of really nice tools!

I like your technique to fold in the edges so you don't have a seam to weld or solder together. Do you have any issues with things coming loose or trying glue?

👌💕

How do I determine the softness or roughness of the file to use on copper ?

Great craftsmanship! Where can I buy those shears?

What is the name of the tool you used to cast the cutting lines into the copper?

How much bro

What are the dimensions of the first sheet of cut copper?

what gauge copper did you use please?

Thanks for sharing this with us Rick. You have a voice, why not use it to convey a little bit more knowledge in the same time frame, even a voice over. Totally ment as constructive Rick, Cheers, Billy in Canada

What thickness copper sheet did you use here? Thanks.

How much is the 16 oz sheet and were do you get it hobbie shops Dan in ohio

Really you put your name to it with that lid ?!

how do you call the tool at 6:04 ?

Nice work. Now clean up your shop, it’s very messy
