Description:

This is an intermediate level course in working with silver and copper using many time-honored and modern methods. Large scale raising, sinking, forming, forging will be used to manipulate sheet metal and bar stock. Use of rolling mills to change the thickness of metal stock, and using a bending break to get crisp corners in sheet metal, construction will be demonstrated. Traditional silver brazing will be used as the primary joining method. However, for larger scale work, tin soldering will be employed along with rivets and overlap joints with tabs. Pattern development for basic forms to be constructed in sheet metal will be covered as part of this course.
