Beautiful to watch

Postby booma » Thu Dec 19, 2013 10:44 pm

This is a great video of a hand made still in the making.

I get fascinated by the idea of a hand beaten copper still.

Imagine what this guy could build.

I'm a sheet metal worker by trade, but haven't worked in the field for over 20 years. This almost makes me want to go out and by a few dollys and anvils and try get some skills back.

THAT is amazing workmanship. WOW
I am seriously impressed with his work.

Would love to get a good look at the tools he used to set the rivets HE MADE. :shock:

Thanks for putting this video up :handgestures-thumbupleft: :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Wouldn't you like to have a master class with him, damn .Do you think he uses compression of the rivets alone to make a vapour seal?

Good to see people enjoying the video I found.
Thanks for the positive feedback on posting it.

I have tried to locate him.
So far the language is serbian or croation I believe.
I plan to ask someone who might be able to help me on the quest of finding this coppersmith.

It would be great to see more of his work and how it does it.

cheers
