Interesting. What is the solution you use to patina the the copper Jack? Your videos are always enjoyable!

[Dave Richards]

those look great. I'm curious, though, why you don't use copper nails.

peter its gun black. its an acid and you can get it at a number of places. you can make it your self too though i never have. Makes the cooper go green in about a year.

Dave because i am blackening the brass is better for strength. I don't think you can get copper brads this small ether?

Nice copper work, Jack

I have restored a number of old windows here in Ohio and there is usually an extra piece of wood moulding on top of the casing called a water table that supports the flashing out an extra inch or so. Ever run into that?

when I built this Dolphin, I sand blasted it to get down to clean copper then wiped it down with green patina stuff I got from the roofing place
