Made custom Pitch pots. Fashioned a new set of repousse tools. Flip after flip, the duck crest slowly took shape. Last shot is the final form after pickling and just before welding it on to the hood body. I don't know that there was any gain in wrestling the 4 foot panel rather than cutting it up, but my stubbornness will always triumph my intelligence. Never stop tapping.

The forming of the hood was a process that took help. The shopmates all came through to help roll the radius. My initial plan to sweat solder the joints failed. I ended up tig welding the seams, using copper wire as filler. Did some patina testing before taking the torch to it. Next post will show the repousse process for forming the front motif.

Repousse Antiqued Copper Hood - This range hood, seen here in its final home, is 100% hand formed and welded copper sheet. The detailing on the front face was repoussed by hand into pine pitch. I will make more posts to show more of the process.

The first decent commission out of the new shop. Three hand forged and forge welded strap hinges for a business on Bourbon street. The French quarter commission had approved a very non traditional fabricated knock off, but seeing the craftsmanship in the originals we knew we had to honor tradition. We hope all the tourists who puke and piss on them for the next 100 years will appreciate our efforts. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #blacksmith #blacksmithing #handforged #forged #forging #forgedhinges #frenchquarter #bourbonstreet #metalsmith #ironwork #wroughtiron #rusticdecor #architecturaliron #diy #handmade #neworleans #metal #blackmagic #historicrestoration #restoration #traditionalcraft #craftsmanship #martigrastittybig
