Make Stone-like Copper Ring from Scrap 

that last quench was really cool to watch also watching how the quench with soap worked with that delay was interesting aswell

Hey Glen. Listen up. Copper grinding on a vitreous wheel is dangerous. Seriously! The copper will gum up and load the pores of the wheel causing imbalance and also possible fracture stress. An exploding wheel is no joke! A coworker is now sightless and has had several rounds of cosmetic surgery and still looks like a candidate for a chop 'em up horror movie. When OSHA finished the investigation, they found that the wheel had both copper and brass dust embedded just below the wheel's surface. There are wheels that are of a composition that makes them suitable for nonferrous grinding, but are worthless on steel. Best bet is the two arbor grinder with a ferrous wheel on one side and a nonferrous wheel on the other. Eyes are precious. The correct wheels are worth the investment. Be safe man. 😎👀 Stan

Nice seeing different methods of forming a patina. Enjoyed, Thank you Glen for sharing.

I've made many a copper ring the traditional jewelers way. This is the first one I have seen upset from the center in a blacksmith fashion. It looks like fun and I'll have to try it myself! It ended up looking great! Nice meaty ring.

Another great video! One day I'd like to hear more about your custom anvil setup - how it was made, why, etc,...

Cool - it is very stone like. May I ask?? where did you get your anvils? I have looked around the internet and Have found nothing like them. Did you make them yourself?

Nice job 👍 I see you have some vegetation back on the balcony 👍 Thanks for sharing.

aNice work Glen, I wanted an aged patina on a replica copper knife sheath I made. I wound a few turns of plain steel wire around the copper and submerged it in salt water for a day. It worked beautifully for what I wanted.

Apparently this is like how Sailors used to make rings; using a silver coin, a sturdy table spoon, and plenty of spare time to tap it round !

Just curious? how did you work the copper so long without it work hardening? or did you edit out a few annealing quenches?

1st I'd reckon lol Turned out pretty kuul. Hadn't thought one could cold work copper that much w o fracture. Now I know. 🙏 Blessed day Sir Crawford out 🔥⚒️🧙🏼‍♂️

Good video but I do have a question. How do you keep your tools from rusting up overnight given the environment you're in?

Good job man, I love your style, thanks for sharing 😎👍

I never cease to be amazed at the ideas you come up with; I do a fair amount of work with copper but never thought about using borax for a patina. I really like the effect!

I really like the ring you made out of copper nice job sir!!!

I see you're ambidextrous with a hammer, can you write with either hand too. Very interesting channel. Thanks. M

Nice! Good luck with the storm Glenn. Hope your roof stays put!

Fun wid copper. Pink ring look cool👍👍🔥🔥🔥

J'aimerais vraiment voir à quoi ressemble un typhon en pleine ville.

That's cool, i've never seen a ring made, yours turned out really neat.

I bet the rain felt a lot nicer now you have a new roof

Love your video and love the ring. Looks very unique.

Novel little project to try out 👏🏻

Thanks for a little bit of fun.

I really like this one. Might give it a try

👍😎👍

This is Awsome.

Very cool, beefy ring though.

Interesting how you got the color. Thanks Glen.

Классное кольцо 👍

Have you tried flame coloring copper? You get all sorts of colors.
