As much as I hated to do it, I ended up turning this job down. As I got further into my research, I realized that at every step of the way there was a new technique I'd have to figure out on my own through trial and error. Just bonding and forming the copper was one thing, but add in building the latches/hinges, the antiqued glass, the gas burner, ect. and it was too much. At this point, I don't have the time to put into it. I'm trying to establish my own welding business, and what I already do has been keeping me busy. There were certain time constraints, and I didn't want to bite off more than I could chew. Hopefully I'll be able to pursue some copper working again down the road.
