How This Author Started a Copper Workshop in Her Garage I HB

Sara Dahmen’s track to a career in coppersmithing was…unexpected, to say the least. She was working on a historical fiction novel (a distraction from her day job as a wedding planner) when she “went down the rabbit hole” researching for a book, says the Wisconsin-based creative. “Some people go down the rabbit hole during research-really went down it-and I guess I never came back,” she laughs.

3:53 make a guide hole above. So the drill goes through that guide hold, which is clamped to the metal. It cannot move.

Very cool process. I had no idea.

Could you drill the handle and the pan at the same time?? Use an end mill to create a flat spot before drilling?? Nice work..

Beautiful and well-made video, Sara. I loved seeing your process of making a copper pan. I was thrilled to see you are located in Wisconsin, like me. Where could I find out more information on your hand crafted items? Thanks for helping to keep this craft alive. Best wishes to you. 😊

Wow

[@austinjordan5154]

Does the tin on the inside of the pan not melt when using the pan?
