Making a wooden drink tray for my buddies wedding to hold some handmade (not by me) Moscow mule copper mugs, and a bottle of vodka.. Walnut, rosewood, and bocate. Got some metal stamps to make a copper tag. Used old pipe to hammer out the tag.

Mug is 20oz, very nice work. My copper work needs some practice! First one was a little shaky. Will try my luck with the stamps on the clean piece next. Any tips are appreciated!!

I like to hammer my copper as flat as possible then even it out with 500, 800, then 1000 grit sandpaper then polish.

Thanks for the tip. I have a few other pieces I will try that on. Maybe I'll make some tags. What's the best way to cut or shape the copper?
I may leave this one a lil more rustic for the look on this box. Need to see how I do on the stamping here soon. Wedding is next weekend.
Still need to sand, glue, fit and seal the wood. I cut some handle holes in the sides. More pics to come once finished.

Shaping is best with a file or coarse sandpaper.

Copper hardens as you work it. Heating and quenching realigns the structures, making it easier to work with. Stamping a straight line with even spacing is tough.

Thanks that's a good tip. I did not know that would soften it up to hammer it out easier.

Tag turned out pretty good. Lil double stamping but makes it look handmade.
My initials on the other tag n some heat treat. Yes I put the E backwards (on accident) purposely! It's looks bad ass anyways!

Where do you get the thick copper from? I'm using copper pipes cut up. That tag looks decently thick.
Is that a dirty sentence? Oh well!

It is decently thick love the raw look of it I think it kinda reminds me of a hand poured bullion. It hasn't come off my keys since I got it, and it's developed a awesome patina from me rubbing it like a worry stone sometimes.
