your videos are very good and have a wide message thank you
This was interesting, as I'm looking to do something similar for a work desk in my SOHO.
Hindsight is always 20/20, so I'm not sure my first attempt would have been as good/better than yours.
Notes- If possible, get sheet large enough so you can bend edge over top and sides to the underside. If not, what you did is a nice solution.
Copper is soft, and unless its sealed and in a display case its going to get bumps, scratches and oxidize. Another video making a copper sink peened it with a hammer which is old-school solution.
I'm wondering if sandpaper on orbital sander would make minor scratches and ticks less obvious, although you lose that sheen.
Alternately, some videos on YT show how to acid etch copper to make some incredibly colored or distressed, patinaed finishes as well.
Or, get an old metal grate and use weight to emboss it onto the surface?
There is nothing sexier than a man who can work with his hands! :-)
Hello
what is the product that you put on the copper i am french
???? It’s beautiful😍😍😍😍😍
I want to do the same😬😬😬😉👍
Beautiful! How is it aging? Did you poly it?
Thank you - No I didn’t, i want to first leave it row to have so nice patina on it, it’s been few months already and it’s aging really well and getting more nicer.:) so for now don’t thinking about any poly or any projection.
@@jakrobuilds thanks
I can’t help but think how much nicer this could’ve turned out if he’d used a reasonable amount of care when handling and constructing this. Finger prints will eventually appear EVERYWHERE as the acids oxidize on the untreated copper. Why not place a board between the hammer as he tapped in the boards and edges of copper? Why not carefully lay the copper face-down atop a clean beach towel as he prepared the backside for adhesion (which should have been contact adhesive applied to both the copper and the table and a series of dowels running the entire length to aid in positioning then removed, one by one, as a weighted roller is applied to gradually secure the laminate)? Horrifying to watch him use the surface as a work area to set his shop tools on as he was making it.
I get it if he’s going for a rustic look, but then why not intentionally distress the entire thing so that appears more industrial chic than a haphazard accident? If you’re planning to make something similar, it’s worth it to watch some of the other UA-cam videos showing how to properly apply copper laminate so you don’t end up wasting a bunch of money for a scratched, dented, discolored, lumpy, fingerprinted mess the way this table definitely would’ve looked within a month after this video was shot.
