That`s nice, pic is a little hard to see.  Great project. 

[Roaring Bull]

Pretty cool.  I thought about doing some beaten copper work out of copper pipe and fittings.  Think that would work?

[Stumblin Wolf]

Nice work! I gotta find me a swage block!

[Thumper]

Nice work!! I have a poor mans swage block....a large round of wood that I made a bowl shape in with a 4.5" grinder. For finishing the edges I use a 2" hitch ball I smoothed out and it's mounted in my vise. Have you seen the price on used swage blocks lately?? Through the roof!!

[Stumblin Wolf]

That sounds like MY swage block! Funny when it catches on fire! I got a source down in alabama that makes swages, the one I want has a fireplace shovel on one side and a few different size spoons on the other. $145 shipped last time I checked, US made. I'll see if I can't find that guys address.

For dishing tools if you can find an old oxygen cylender cut the bottom off of it then turn it upside down.  WARNING:  USE A HACK SAW TO CUT THE CYLENDER.

nifeman makes a lot of stuff from copper pipe and elbows and such he says it works great.

Jae, it looks good man! What did you use for the handle? It's a bit pricey, but if you anneal and hammer a piece of 1/2" tubing flat, put a couple of bends in it you got a handle then put your forged cup on you just made a ladle. Gonna have to get together...Bud
