- I popped awake two weeks ago with a vision of the end project clearly in my head. I wasn't sure I had the right tools to make it happen, but I wanted to try. I ended up making more than one, and you'll have to tell me which you like best!
I'm not sure.

I love how every step of this project unexpectedly had 7 mini-steps included. 🤓 great troubleshooting skills as usual 👍
Team Green
I figure that more than anyone I actually know, you will appreciate this story. I once, painstakingly slowly, glued very thin copper sheets to a table-pillar height concrete bird bath in the shape of a flower. Say about 31 inches tall, and about a 10 inch diameter base and a 32 inch diameter “flower” bath. Over a period of weeks, I carefully aged the stem of this flower using a spray bottle of vinegar and another of salt water, taking it to juuuust green with a touch of blue, and then I carefully taped off all but the flower leaves - mostly on the underside of the flower, but some woven into the petals - and took them to that powdery blue color. I sealed the whole thing, used old black and gold magic the gathering manna stones in the bowl as “seeds,” custom cut a plastic liner for the rim of the flower so I could place a larger glass circle on top… and voila, I had a custom flower dining room table.
It was so beautiful.
A week after I finished it, my father was visiting and instead of getting the stepladder out to swap some track lighting around, he decided to just stand on an old apple crate box. Which gave out on him.
Concrete crumbles very thoroughly, I will say that. It’s apparently great for breaking falls. 😭
Team Green. I have spoken.
This is the way….
@@Heartwing37 This is the way.
This is the way
This is the way.
What is happening down here Children of The Watch?! Bunch of zealots...
If you spray the vinigar solution all over, then sprinkle the salt, do some clusters, then place tissue all over and respray, you can get some amazing patterns and colours. Would love to see what you could do also.
I hope Peter sees this comment!
That's such a great idea!!
The orange one looks great but the green one really pops.
A copper clock where the hour numbers are oxidized onto the clock would be neat
OK, that sounds like a great idea.
OR Where the numbers increasingly become oxidized!
This is why you are my favourite channel right now. The ideas you have, the things you test and the projects you output are amazing. They don't always work, but you always try, you build on it until you make something you like. The fact you read your comments, and research the ideas they give you is just the icing on the cake!
Thank you! That's super nice of you to say!
Now just make the hands of the clock light sabers and you'll be there!
I have no idea how to do that, but I might need to figure it out.
@@peterbrownwastaken resin and glow powder of course.
@@peterbrownwastaken Use the force, duh! 😉
@@peterbrownwastaken On a technical level... maybe LEDs? With or without an arduino?
@@peterbrownwastaken there are some chopsticks that are lightsabers. You could use that.
Team Red
New series... Will it patina?
The blue green, (bleen, if you will) looks so cool! It's appropriate for a clock too, as it alludes to the passage of time
Teal. Is teal the word you're looking for?
Team Green, definitely. Gives the sense of decay, of hiding on damp moons, and history. Really, really awesome, Peter.
Peter, I make artisan cables for keyboards and I happen to have a lot of decorative cable sleeving made from actual copper! Your last project with the earrings planted an idea in my head. I actually bought the chemicals for a darkened refined patina and mint green from sculptnoveau and looking forward to my experimenting with them. Always looking forward to push new boundaries!
I like them both, but I like the idea of somebody having found that relic of the early republic. So the blue one is my favorite. Great project, Keep it up!
The Green one looks like an ancient artifact from the sea floor, I love it
Honestly I like both. The red is for the beginning of the alliance all fresh and new. the green after a couple hundred years of fighting in the trenches so to speak
This is the earliest I have ever been, anywhere. Love the videos, Peter! Thank you!
electroforming and metal plating in general is such a cool process, I gasped when you first pulled the piece out of the solution! definitely team green but the almost brushstroke-looking patterns on the copper one are also really neat-looking.
I'm goin with team Green ! great project Peter, thumbs up as always
Thank you Doug!
I'm on team red, because I like the contrast between the copper and the black. This was a fun video!
i actually really liked the back of the green one. had this tarnished look, kinda brought the best of both worlds. glad you had fun with this build, thats what i come here for.
The green/blue looks so cool! I'd love to see what effects can be achieved on other shapes. Maybe something more 3D like a small figurine? Can you put the black activating paint on anything, such as resin?
Green. Definitely green. I've always loved that copper patina.
I'm on team Brown. Whatever Mr and Mrs Brown post is a joy to watch.
Definitely team green, it looks like it comes from the darkest hour of the rebellion.
Finally, a great way to figure out the Star Wars timeline! I’m a big fan of turquoise, but both of these are gorgeous! Well done!
Awesome. Love the green one.
I can’t choose! They’re both awesome.
I love these copper plating projects!
I really appreciate you showing the troubleshooting, it makes it feel accessible/realistic and just very nice. It has been the reason why I have been watching you for (one of the) longest channels
They both look amazing! What a fun project!
Both versions rock!!! Wonderful!
That is absolutely fantastic
Thanks for the video!
Have a great week!
I really like them both ! Awesome stuff !
They are both so gorgeous in different ways 😊
Love them both!!!
Peter I watched your videos in high school. You cracked me up then. I’m a couple years out of college now and you still crack me up. Keep it up brotha!
Straight up honest video. Always enjoy it when I see the challenges you run into. So many creators only post the perfect ones. Thanks Peter.
Those look amazing. Yeah, salt and vinegar is hard to beat. I've tried all of those weird (and often expensive) chemicals and they don't work any better than that. OH, and you don't necessarily have to mix the salt in. Try spritzing vinegar onto the copper and then sprinkle on some course salt. It'll stick to the wet places and you'll get little "mold spots" growing from it. Achieves a similar but different effect.
I can't decide which I prefer. Both are awesome.
Awesome work
Team green for me. Both look amazing!
I love star wars awesome projects
Green looks great
I like both, but I think I like the green one better. Keep up the weird projects!
I love them!!
Those look really good!
This is so cool! I’ve never seen wood copper plated before.
A bioshock sign would look so cool in that green copper style.
They both look great, Peter👍 Nice work!
A couple of take always from watching this.
You are one of the few to actually use a rattle can the right way. So many don’t know how to spray with one and you see them paint half way across a surface instead of a complete pass etc.
I would have loved to see little Tie Fighters on the clock hands. You have a laser cutter so that should be easy.
Finally I’m on team patina though I wouldn’t knock either back.
Both clocks look amazing. Amazing work! Even with one hand tied behind your back, your projects are amazing.
Did I mention these are amazing?
love them both,,,,wicked awesome
Team Green for sure. It looks amazing!
That patina green looks insanely good, that bright blue spot is divine! Gj
Okay that's friggin awesome!!!!
You have no idea how glad I am you have the enclosure for the laser!
Me too! So much better now!
I like when copper patenas, personally. I think both look great, but the green looks so much more interesting and really draws the eye. Also, can’t wait for the next stream!
I like both of them.
The green one looks like a planet... I love it!
Those are amazing, but the green one is my fave!
I LOVE this copper-plating technique, I am OBSESSED! I hope to try this process myself at some point, in the meantime, I'll be living vicariously! I look forward to seeing what other things you create!
You got me with the clickbait, well done sir 😂😂😂😂
Love the idea of copper coating plywood etc, might have to try this myself with some projects
Green I am so excited to have seen your video first I love laser engraving and I love the look of platina I try to faux paint items to look like it but was so so at best thanks
Green is great. Aged look is perfect for the rough and ready Rebel Alliance.
Green. Amazing
I can't pick a side on this one, they both look pretty cool. More fun experiments on this project. Thanks for sharing!
Team green, copper patina looks so lovely.
Team Green. It looks awesome. The red one looks good too, but I really like the aged green look.
I dig the really tarnished one
I like them both
Another great video! You are my favorite you tube video.
Team green!!!!! That looks amazing!!!!
That conductive paint is something else man, really cool application
Very cool look
Team green. Great result.
Very cool project :) Both look awesome :)
Both look Awsome peter
The blue-green version is killer!
Copper compounds have some amazing green and blue colors.
Someone else probably already said it in another comment, but just in case, ammonia and salt pushes the patina into the blue range a lot more. Smellier though. Use an enclosed container if you decide to try that. Great project!
I was wondering back when you made the earrings whether or not the conductive paint would stick to acrylic. The acrylic would give you such a smooth, flawless underlayment for the copper, and I wonder how the end result would look?
every video you put out is a pleasure to watch. i'm team green.
Very handsome Rod Serling!💚👍
Team Green. Especially because that’s what I came on here to see how you get it. YAY! Something easy. I too had been looking for how to Verdegris copper and only found difficult techniques. Although my search did also lead me to flame “painting” copper, which is also AWESOME. Now I can’t wait to try the Vinegar and sea salt. Thanks Peter. Clocks look awesome as well!
Gorgeous
I need to get me some tools. This looks like a lot of fun!
Team green I think... but love them both and love your channel, thank you for being you
Man, tough choice Im gonna say both for different reasons. Very cool stuff
The green one reminds me of a character from the game Hollow knight 😁 absolutely love your content Peter, it is always so calming and relaxing to watch you work
I like the nice patina on the green one!
Although, they both look cool AF!
Both are beautiful, but I'm team green baby!! Copper patina has always been and will forever be my favourite colour scheme. I'm in love with it, and have used the vinegar/salt trick often. So yeah, green!
Always enjoy your videos. I'm a fan of the green one personally, but I'm biased since it's my favorite color lol.
12:50 I really like the idea of a fallen rebel alliance clock!
Love the oxidisation on copper so deffo team green.
As a die hard rebel Jedi… I love both of these!!! I love the patinas, something to consider for updating my rebel symbol tattoo 13:17
Sweet! The raw copper is very much a positive "let's start a rebellion" outlook coming out Rouge One of while the aged one is "Damn, why we are still fighting on Jakku" months after Return of the Jedi.
The green one is my favorite.
Love the green. It's the one that's been thru some stuff. It's got stories 😂
The Vinegar+seasalt one is incredible.
Green is cool.
To help speed up the plating put more than one negative wire on the piece. This will also help keep it even coated.
The steel bar should not have picked up any of the copper because it wasn't electrified. The copper only sticks to negative charged metal or carbon. If you could figure out a way to rock the pieces back and forth it would help with air bubbles and might speed up the process.
Now if you really want to have fun. Acid etch the copper to clean it. Put nickel over the copper. Etch the nickel and gold plate over the nickel. Make sure you rinse very very well after the etch bath. If you put the gold directly on the copper it will stick but in time the 2 metals will blend and become one. That is why you put the hard nickel in between the softer metals.
I really like the way your videos push your imagination. Keep up the good work.
