Copper Smithing

Back by popular demand, okay someone asked if we'd do it and we did. Copper Smithing is the topic of this week's episode and with the maker skills crew having a combined copper smithing background in the 10s if not 100s of minutes there will definitely be some great tidbits. These tidbits may have nothing to do with copper smithing but that's beside the point. Enjoy!

Hand Engraving with Matt The Tool Engraver

Great chat this week with Matt from @thetoolengraver. Tom's loves moving things around so much he's buying giant tools in preparation for moving them across the state and then there's the usual silliness. Give it a listen you wont be sorr... um just give it a listen.
