COPPER PNEUMATIC HAMMER PLANISH...

Recently I`ve been trying to locate an electric hand held planishing/forming hammer. I`d like to be able to take the hammer over the sheet,and not the sheet to the planishing stand.It seems to be a good tool to surface finish big works,and would serve the purpose of work hardening the copper sheet too.

COPPER TO ARMATURE WELD

Hi fellows;
I`m trying to figure out what material to use for armature of a 3/16 copper sheet outdoors piece,provided I have Tig weld and oxyacetylene only.Why 3/16 and not thinner, that`s the material we have available neither more or less.So my concern is what material to use as armature (mild steel, stainless...) so I could weld, as the sheet sections are forged over the armature.


COPPER / STAINLESS CUT & WELD ?

I`m trying to add a little tech to my too basic shop, and I need some advise as to what piece of equipment would do the most with the least money, tricky huh! I would like to cut and weld copper and stainless sheet (1-5 mm thick).TORCHMATE offers"Cutmaster 51" and "Cutmaster 81" as 40amp and 60amp plasma air cutters.

Hey. Rich Waugh

Hi Rich. I`m new as you know so I went back and checked some posts. That chest you made is beautiful and so are the wooden cannons! Down here were don`t have much tecnology, but sure got a good array of exotic woods,near the Amazone.I love to integrate wood and metal into a work.Mixed media offers endless posibilities, just gotta know how to combine them harmoniously. I have and old carpenter tool box, and some decades back there wasn`t processed wood like all these agregates we have now.It`s a matter of balancing work and profit,I know ! But here is some I`ve tried for real old look. Of course, it`s more work and should charge for it.For a table,door,wide shelf,or even an old chest, cut boards o various withs that would fit well the scale of your work. Burn them just enough (run test on size of fire and exposure time),run a handbrush in the grain direction till you like the look. Before setting into the fire, you me want to mistreat your wood a bit with cuts,notches.The finish you give it will be up to you. Pinewood is very easy, but some hardwoods give better look and longer lasting textures.forgot to say you shoul prety much cut your wood and assemble more or less, then fire,brush, put together.Any change due to firing, fix up and spot torch-burn if needed...
