In this video Ryan shows the technique he uses to Forge a Copper Ladle with a stainless steel handle. Using a coal forge, a little giant power hammer and a very old fly press.
Wow, I love your shop and the beautiful items that you create! I found you while watching Scott from Essential Craftsman, and I am very impressed! You create items that that are obviously functional, but are something that will be handed down from generation to generation! Hopefully I can make it up there and attend one of your classes sometime.
I found your channel through Essential Craftsman. Just wow Brother. Your shop and your product. Just wow. Can I come live in your shop and apprentice? 😎
Beautiful, neat, well-laid out shop with a wood heater - what’s not to like? Terrific fly press put to its appropriate use. Fairly cinematic filming, too
Wait a second, you made a "wheatstalk" embosser for your fly-press? That's so baller and thoughtful aesthetically. Sorry to blow up your spot but I'm really enjoying your channel, thank you for sharing these videos
Great video today. Love ur work. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend forge on. Love how you did this video. Can't wait to see ur next video.
Thanks! No treatment. We just let them patina naturally. They darken up a bit and get a nice earthy copper tone. Can easily be polished back to shiny copper with a Brillo pad if you wanted.
Hi, do you treat the stainless rod you use for the ladle? I have read about hot and cold bluing of stainless to protect the metal and also to give it a dark finish. Do you recommend cold bluing?
i really love the way you work and all the tools you have, i have a little workshop also, but my question is, can you use it without any other process in the kitchen? whit hot sopu etc, I sow in other videos that must be a thin layer of other metal to prevent corrosion or rust.. thank you.
I do not coat these in tin. That is the standard for copper cookware designed to be heated up and cooked in. These traditional copper ladles have been made this way for 100’s of years. Unlined copper is completely safe for quick transferring of foods from one vessel to the next. Cheers
@@MrOldclunker when you call it butter I insist it's Full of fat... I don't think fat get rancid in 24 hours time .. all I'm worried about the food I ate all these years.. which have very minimal fat.. so blah blah... Blah blah...

Thanks for the positive feedback. The shop is coming together! The flypress is named Olga and she is my favorite!
Great work and a really nice video. Especially the shot with the appearing and dissappearing ladle on the anvil at the beginning is a thrill!

Great work and love your shop. Question, Do you treat your handle to keep it from rusting? If you do, what do you use? Thx
Hi, all my utensil handles are stainless so no need to coat with anything. On the skillets it gets seasoned with cooking oil
Great video today. Love ur work. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend forge on. Love how you did this video. Can't wait to see ur next video.

Thank you! I sure do it’s stagecoachforge.com
Maravilloso trabajo amigo!! Felices fiestas.
Muchas gracias amigo!
👍👍👍👍
Do you treat the copper with something to stop them from turning Green??
Great work!!
Thanks! No treatment. We just let them patina naturally. They darken up a bit and get a nice earthy copper tone. Can easily be polished back to shiny copper with a Brillo pad if you wanted.
Cool, just saw your pan vid with essential.
love this video.... love my copper ladle!
And I love you mom ❤️
I am curious...do your rings represent something special? Nice work on the ladles!
Thanks! The turquoise ring is for protection and wisdom and the abalone is for protection and good fortune.
Great video! What diameter of copper disc do you start with? What material is the ladle handle?
Thanks Gordon! Disc is 5” and the handle is stainless steel
@@stagecoachfarmforge how thick is the copper disc? I had a sheet of 0.5mm laying around to play about with, but it’s too thin to form properly.
@@gordonkirk2201 pretty sure it’s .043 copper that I use. Frequent annealing helps keep it from cracking

Nice..

Yeah use it in the kitchen just don’t leave it in the pot while cooking!
Интересно сколько денег заработал за такую работу.
Superb!
Buen trabajo ,aprendí sobre cobre o bronce....gracias...que el buen Dios lo colme de salud , armonía y abundancia....
nice work:) what kind of steel You choose for a handle ?
Thanks! Stainless
Is awesome looking spoon what gauge popper is this
Thanks! It’s .043 copper for the ladles
Sir do you tin coat these laddles? Because straight contact with the food and copper is not good
I do not coat these in tin. That is the standard for copper cookware designed to be heated up and cooked in. These traditional copper ladles have been made this way for 100’s of years. Unlined copper is completely safe for quick transferring of foods from one vessel to the next. Cheers
Apple butter is made in copper kettles and bouled for up to 24 hours. Get real.
@@MrOldclunker when you call it butter I insist it's Full of fat... I don't think fat get rancid in 24 hours time .. all I'm worried about the food I ate all these years.. which have very minimal fat.. so blah blah... Blah blah...
Where did you get your hammer to form the copper in your swage block?
Hi Mark it’s just a standard dapping/ doming nylon hammer I found while trekking through the mighty Amazon
Where do you get your materials? How thick is the copper sheet?
Copper for these is .043 and I get it special ordered from my local steel yard (Dixon steel)
para ficar lindo o cobre passa limão com sal depois voce me fala
