wolfshieldrx Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 For your review and consideration...a Christmas present for mama...a ladle with copper bowl (recycled 3/4 inch copper water pipe) and handle from 1/4 inch square stock. Hope she likes it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donnie Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I see no reason for her not to like it. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dablacksmith Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 its nice! you might tell her to not use it with ascidic things (like tomato based sauses) It can cause a mild food poisoning .....the copper can cause it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfshieldrx Posted December 24, 2008 Author Share Posted December 24, 2008 is about 2-1/2 inches. Already wrapped it and didn't measure before! First time I had worked with copper this way and I was amazed at how much it spread. Started out as 3/4 inch water pipe, split and flattened. Thanks for looking!

Junksmith Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I don't know what it is about that Iron/Copper combo that works for Moms. I made this for my Mom's birthday last month and she loved it:D. The candle cup was just hammered from pipe and the pan was a circle cut out of heavy copper flashing. They are just 2 great metals to combine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebenton2ph Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Very nice. Have you thought about tinning the inside of the ladle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
